| Quote Digger_the_Dog="Digger_the_Dog"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......
'"
When do you see it when you arrive into Hull? I go in and out of Hull every day and over the bridge and dont recall see'ing it coming into Hull - so please enlighten me.
Who are you to say we dont need another one? most cities have more then 1 decent stadium and it does no harm - Manc, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield to name just a few northern cities.
And theres 2 main reasons i dont want us to move into the KC; 1 - Sharing a stadium with FC (that wouldnt have red seats in it so wont look like its ours when we play there. 2 - its not central at all its in WEST park, there was (not sure if still is) loads of room near were the Deep/Premier Inn are located - in my book that is smack in the town centre of Hull and in a cracking location.

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.

Sorry but im sure i listed Leeds and especially Sheffield in that group - remind me how there "sporting mecca" football/rugby clubs are doing....
Sheffield - 2 football clubs doing absolutely nothing (at least city made a go of it in the prem and stayed up) and dont even get me started on there RL side.
I never said i wanted a stadium built near the deep - i ment that for the central location to suit all fans, as the KC is not central i dont care how many 100% you put in your quote - it is in West Park in WEST Hull.
If we were getting own stadium i think East Park would be a great location but parking would be a major issue, as i wouldnt want all the park taking over.
Can you explain why you are so against East Hull having a new stadium built somewere then? Because im sure it could have speedway/Dogs/Athletics built into it which would benifit Hull on a whole with school programmes been involved ect.
Sports development grants have nothing to do with money for the homeless/drugs and the like - they are all seperate issues.
I just dont understand why anyone from Hull would be so against this happening...

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.

I agree and because I am getting plenty of our petitions signed, as are a lot of others, I can confirm we have had a good response from a few black and white supporters, who also agree its good for the community, they can understand why we are promoting the sporting aspect, regardless of whether its to do with Rovers! They have even signed "Hull FC and Proud" and I treat that with the same respect that they did when they supported our campaign! I also got plenty of Bulls fans signing also and they dont even live here!!
Anyone wanting a copy of our petition, who thinks they could get some signatures please PM me.

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
