When the football fixtures do come out do you think that Duffen will alert the Football league if there is a possible clash with a RL fixture that is already in place, possible play off match?
If we get to the play offs this year I can honestly see us having to do a Wigan and play elsewhere because the Football league/Premiership will not move the fixture.
Remeber year before last when he said that he was the saving grace for Hull FC by staging 2 matches in 1 day? Yes it was good, but it should never have been a possibility that there was going to be a clash.

On your other point, if you're happy being told you can't read or write that's up to you, but i'm not and can't find anyone one here that is!
Or........ maybe YOU haven't read things correctly and are mistaken, but that would then make Mr Duffen correct wouldn't it?? ![]()
Or on the otherhand some of us can take a joke!

I can see the point of HFC Yorkie's post though, so even if you don't feel you need an English lesson today, making grammar and spelling mistakes in a letter to a person who (maybe jokingly) says RL fans can't write, is sort of making his point for him, don't you think?

I agree completely with the points you make. I do feel that this could be the thin end of the wedge and that Mr Duffen has clearly pinned his flag to the mast regarding his stand on RL, not just within our stadium, but the city as a whole.
The stadium was part funded from tax payers money and was built as a community stadium. As a local tax payer I am slightly concerned that Mr Duffen did not feel it important enough to put his Hull City bias to one side and secure an International RL fixture that would have made money, not only for our council, but also local businesses in these troubling economic times. |

But the point wasn't to give you an English lesson, it was to show that when trying to defend your ability to write well, it would be better not to make grammatical/spelling mistakes. |

He will be judged on his performance by the council i guess and if they feel he hasnt made best use of the stadium he will be replaced. At the end of the day though none of us know the reason why he did turn the opportunity down (if it ever existed) do we? Im pretty sure having followed his previous dealings closely that they will have been for sound business reasons. |

Well this is something that had to be done for us this season. It's another reason why Duffen is been silly here. He can't book an international game for the KC due to the fact football fixtures havent been released yet, but can inform the FA that Hull FC have certain games on certain days? I know we play the majority of our games on a Friday now but I'm guessing the Sky games for the second half of the season will be out before the football fixtures are released in June, meaning we could have a game moved to a Saturday evening.
Also after what happened the last time we reached the play-offs, it wouldn't suprise me if the Saturdays that are allocated by the RFL for play-off games are booked for the KC, just in case |

Judging by his comments regarding RL fans and their ability to write, I would maybe question his ability to make sound business judgements. |

Not that i'm really too bothered but the letter IS grammatically correct and reads correctly. |

Now please don't jump on me here but there are obviously two schools of thought here. However if any of you feel as fed up and mad about the way our game has been treated by the Chairman of the SMC over the international I suggest you E Mail the Chairman of the Council as I have done and/or if you live in Hull your ward Councillors their E mails are all on the Council web site.
councillor.minns@hullcc.gov.uk
OK you will say it will do no good on this occasions but if we do not register our disgust in the way we have been treat then he will think he can do it again and again and who knows what he will try next. He has to realise that he was appointed by the Council to run the SMC and therefore the peoples stadium!
And while your at it send a text to Humberside sport tonight too!
OK now have a go at me, but everyone can sit and grumble so those who really feel aggrieved do something about it! |
