But you could of said the same about the KC money been put to better use - its not like the 2 old grounds have been put to good use is it.

I am not happy at some things regarding the KC. The lack of Rock concerts, International games and other events since Pearson went the first time has, in my opinion, took away the community factor to the stadium.

Hopefully now that will come back.

What I do class as a success is the fact there are Rugby, Football, Basketball, 5 a side football and Boxing among the sports played at the KC. All local teams/athletes. It is central. Ever so slightly to the West but as I have said before, the only central spot is being used by BHS!!

It is an awesome sight as you arrive in Hull. It is one of the few things the people of Hull can be proud of and it will go on serving the people of Hull for years.

We do not need another one. Instead of sitting and sulking in the corner maybe people at Rovers should admit the real reason they dont wanna move into the KC?

I imagine the rent that Hull and Hull City pay would be quite a big chunk of Rovers much smaller gates?

If I was a betting man......

On the train

S.

I see the Stadium every time I return from London, Donny etc on a train!!

Where exactly near the deep did you want a stadium building? A stadium needs car parks, out buildings, roads in etc and that is before you incluide the size of the stadium itself.

As for the Cities you have listed there is a general trend in all of them. They have succesful sporting clubs. We have a second rate soccer side, a Super League Rugby team that has won very few trophies in recent years (FC) and a side that has won nothing in the last 20 years (KR). At what point as a man with public money to spend would you think 'hmmm I think we need to take this sporting mecca and turn it into a dual stadium City'

I am 100% sure that should Rovers agree to pay much more rent than they do for the shed they currently use the SMC would change the colour of some seats just for them.

In fact I know 100% that Adam Pearson would gladly have them there, he has said as much.

The council looked at 5 or 6 city wide sites when reviewing where to build a stadium and only the current circle ground met most of the criteria. They also looked at places like Hedon road and Kingswood which didnt measure up.

That's ARCO. Are you sure you've been?

'"

None of the places you mention have 2 stadia built, paid for and owned by the local authority though. If rovers want to fund the build themselves, like liverpool and everton are looking to do, then I'm sure no one would have any objections

Not many places have one stadium paid for and owned by the local authority - there is the benefit of precedence. FWIW.

The fact that clubs the size of Everton and Liverpool in a sport as moneyed as football are, and have been for a while, [itrying[/i to fund their own new stadiums shows how hard it is. Rovers have done about as much as they can under their own steam. Even if they could, there'd be plenty of objections to East Park, I reckon.
