So that's what that 1" diameter hole is for.

Don't think any of them players came through Sirius and most of them did not come through the normal pathway.

Apart from a few exceptions I do not think we will produce much talent via Sirius route. Eggs mainly in one basket approach does not work

I think a 16k ground would be great for Hull. It would definitely intensify the atmosphere when you are down at your average gate of around 10k but also allow for the big gates. I think playing at the KC has run it's course, and has lost Hull FC it's identity as a club. It would go a long way to re-establishing that, I think, anyway.

why the feck should we be considering moving out of the city..madness!!!

Moving to Costello is a massvely bad idea..period, dragging the club outside the city boundary never mind miles away from fans whom have walked to games for years is just utterly bonkers and will disenfranchise a lot of fans for a very long time.

Some posters on here clearly have no concept how much a 14,000 stadium would cost to build nor the annual running costs..and 14k..seriously, talk about limiting your business model..we'd be in debt for 30+ years paying it off..forget about getting even 25% of the money from the council..that's a pipe dream of epic proportions even if the council were in a position to or were even wanting to 'sell off' the KC, people grossly overestimate how much money we would get.

How many pubs are there within 1/4 mile of Costello..one that I know of, how many around the KC? If you think that beer/food prices are going to be any cheaper..think again, they'll be a massive debt to service (plus the interest)

Open ended stadiums..you get a lot wetter when it rains, you're more effected by the wind, in the relative open area around Costello you are far more open to the elements and so any games early in the season are MORE likely to be called off due to this..the costs to be met by Hull FC..not the management company.

And if people think that a better atmosphere is created just because you move to a smaller ground then that's a small team backward thinking mentality. A small ground doesn't automatically create a great atmosphere, the Boulevard was a 20K plus ground not that much smaller and far more open than the KC..people forget how crap atmosphere's were when the team were average or worse..

So if you want to move out of town, if you want the club to be in massive debt for decades and still not guarantee a successful team or a great atmsphere then knock yourselves out.. I for one would rather stay at the KC.

then stay away,we don`t need so called "fans" like you.

good post mrs.b.

calm down, it's a made up rumour

Steady on!

Since when has the number of pubs in an area been a consideration for building a stadium?

I go to enjoy the rugby not get pi$$ed.

For the record though Fiveways could easily be within walking distance for some along with AP on Anlaby common and rumours of Dominics on Anlaby Common been turned into a pub/restaurant. There are also pubs heading towards Hessle Road.

As i said earlier KC is feeling less and less like 'home' as signs that we actually play there are being taken down by the Doctor.

Warrington....

Whats that got to do with it?

Just because there is a running track behind the Etihad doesnt mean that is the reason fro only 2 EPL titles.

I hate it when away players now say their fave away game is at the KC, yes because theres no atmosphere to put them off.

Yet at Boulevard it was everyones least fave away ground to play on.

Would love or own ground and although I think 16000, would be better I'd wouldn't complain in someone was going to build us a 14K ground.

Not going to happen as the cost to build this stadium would be huge and who foots the bill.

European Grants, Allam would have to pay our 35 year lease out and council will chip in. We pay the SMC 600K a year and I got told even a loan would only be 400 k a year so we would be better off.
