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.

Thats why i dont pick on anyones spelling anymore!!

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.

So you are saying that Duffen was factually correct inwhat he said last night then

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!

Firstly let me make it clear that I'm not a pedant and, as Big Dave T has already indicated, there are more spelling mistakes and grammatical errors on this forum than you can shake a stick at. Thus if I'd have wanted to have a go at a general abuse of the English language I'd have had many opportunities before now.

Secondly however, and despite you not wanting a lesson you maybe should note:
- When using the first person it is customary to use the capital "I" rather than "i" as you have done. Just because people abuse this in text messages doesn't make it right.
- When using quotation marks, any other grammatical symbols such as commas or full stops should be contained within the quotation marks, hence;
'...unavailable for comment', should read '....unavailable for comment,'
- You don't need a capital letter after a comma in the middle of a sentence so "...people of Hull and the UK, Not just you!" is incorrect
- You don't need a full stop after a question mark, so "...why this decision was made?." is incorrect
Clearly therefore your assertion - "Not that i'm (sic) really too bothered but the letter IS grammatically correct and reads correctly. " - is incorrect.

Thirdly, and as Chris28 correctly and kindly illustrated, my point wasn't to be a grammar critic, but to highlight the fact that by getting things so wrong you have completely undermined your own argument! I'm not claiming to be a grammar expert - there may even be mistakes in this post as I can't be bothered to re-read it - but if I was sending a letter to Mr. Duffen proclaiming my literacy I'd have checked it first!

I obviously have too much time on my hands.....I'll get my coat.....

Well i for one wont be buying any of the e they sell at the kc.

I am a city fan and have been to see them a couple of times this year but rugby and hull fc will always be number one for me so after what duffen has said i couldnt give two hoots if city went down now

....Oh....and you still don't speak for all fans!

If the quotation marks are being used to show a quote, then the comma should reside outside of the quotation marks. 'unavailable for comment', ... or however it read
