| Quote hull smallears="hull smallears"I think that the resounding success of East Hulls Cornmill Hotel proves the necessity for a Hotel in the up and coming Greatfield area.
However, there is an opportunity that guests would rather stay in the current state Cornmill hotel, so any business plan needs to consider that.'"
Cornmill as you well know is on Holderness Road closer to town than Greatfield, if you want a comparison then look at Platform 1 on old Hedon Road or whatever it is called, they have expanded and expanded over the years. There is plenty of business already down Hedon Road with the Saltend and Docks area that will all require a level of accommodation only afforded by the Hotel in Hedon and Platform 1 so I can see plenty of existing usage from them, the Green Project at the docks would be an added bonus.

OK fair enough.
Platform one went bankrupt, and is now Trinity Hotel. This scores a 2 star on Trip advisor, so maybe not the best of hotels.
I suspect that most business that require a "good" hotel, will put clients in town, and taxi them there.
If Rovers do acquire a hotel, it will either fulfill the B & B market (contractors) or nothing IMO. You simply cannot plonk decent hotels in terrible areas and expect them to be successful, whatever buisness may be in the area. A 10 min taxi ride from town is not really a big deal.

Rovers won't build or acquire a hotel. A commercial partner might, I suppose, if they thought it a viable business proposition. The people who make that decision will, I imagine, have to sit in very boring meetings considering bullet points (if it even gets that far), exactly the sort of thing that people come on here for a moments respite from.

There you go again making a fool of yourself in an attempt of oneupmanship. I never said all, I said most (and later had to clarify that it was most i'd spoken to because some people like to take everything literally when it suits). The fact you've capitalised the very word that I didn't use makes it even funnier.
FTR, I have no desire to further cover the ground that was exhaustively covered yesterday, so has anyone got any pictures of the North Stand?

I think that the building excitement on here over a five star Marriot forming part of the new South Stand at rovers probably deserved some comment though.
I cannot be bothered to trawl back, but pretty sure this came from the red and white side of the fence as a starter for 10

Don't think you quite got my point.
But it still doesn't look central!

I don't think anyone gets your point
Maybe that's your problem.

Do you actually have a point? Or are you just spending your time on our board because you're too embarrassed to show your face on your own, after making a =#FF0000Edit-AS-BEHAVE!!!!! of yourself over chocolate fireguards being racist?

RBA mentioned it about 15 pages ago - but I don't he or any of the rest of us would be massively excited about any hotel [iin of itself[/i.
Cinema, supermarket, offices, crazy golf or hotel - just a means to an end from Rovers POV.

No pal, you trying to make out that I've said something I haven't is embarrassing for you so you've resorted to type with the name calling and bringing up something that was sorted last week.
