Do you ever get the impression you are opening your mouth (or in this case wiggling your fingers) but there is just a load of blank faced, open mouthed, simpletons totally missing the whole point about the KC and why it had to be placed where it is for the good of the Whole City as well as visitors from other City's?



I despair when I think there are actually 10,000 people in this City who signed that thing and believe the rubbish it stands for!! No wonder Hull is bottom of so many league tables, including the begging bowl league table now as we just created 10,000 more people wanting handouts. That must eclipse even the London begging squad!!

Can you say that again, I drooled into my keyboard and it blew up.

Look, Hull FC, Hull City, the West Hull community….. whatever, have facilities that at the time cost 40+ million to build and the funds came from lots of clean cut profit the council made from the King Comms share boom.

Why can’t HKR and its surrounding East Hull community have what would essentially be a tiny amount in comparison of that profit thrown at them to build a new North Stand with facilities similar to the KC only on a much smaller scale?

I'm sure they could come to some kind of arrangement where by the council sees a return on its investment.



Its not irrelevant to people who don’t live in its location.

Don't say that........I signed it!!!!









Mind you it was a loaded question

Effectively it said [iDo you want to continue watching Rugby in this dump or would you prefer better facilities[/i??

Bit of a no brainer

So you don't live in Hull then??

I live in East Hull as do 1000s of other FC supporters...there are very good road links to the KC

Yes, and i can get to the KC no problem.

But surly it would be a good thing for Craven Parks local community to have similar local facilities, local not being a 30min bus journey then a 15-20min walk.

I want better facilities at Craven Park, i want a new North stand and i want the stadium to be improved, if it brings new facilities with it then even better. As far as i'm aware the petition that was put together by the Rovers fan group is asking for some cash from the profit made in the KC shares sales to help HKR achieve it.

FC fans don't want it and see it as a waste of money, Rovers fans do want it and see it as a good investment, big surprise.

Pathetic response, but I didn't expect anything better from you.

You missed my point by a country mile, but never mind eh? you have an axe to grind and anywhere will do.

Rovers were struggling to pull in 1500 spectators when the KC opened its doors, a move across the city would have taken even more off that figure.

My stance on public funding for Craven Park is a matter of public record, I think its inappropriate in the current economic climate, and would be political suicide for any local council to sanction it. However, your good self and many others who keep rolling out the "you had a chance to share" bullcrap really have a poor grasp of the situation Rovers were in back in 2003. Considering the way you decry the 6,000 "bandwagoners" I would have thought your grasp of recent East Hull history would have been better. I was clearly deluded (as you are obviously).

And Rovers started of in West Hull, though I'd doubt anyone is alive to remember it (perhaps 1 or 2 of your current squad may recall them days?).

Why on earth would I know, or indeed care, where your clubs passholders live?

I don't live in Hull so I don't care what KUHCC do with their money, but surely no one expects that they will just hand over £millions to a rugby club that can't fund it's own expansion when it's forced with making big cost cutting decisions in the near future? Handing over wads of cash wouldn't seem sensible when they're likely to be making large scale redundancies at some.

I do, however, think that the posters who are suggesting that the council "invest" in the area may be on to something. If the council gave rovers £4m for a new stand and then rovers started paying a commercial rate for renting of the council owned facility at say £200k p.a. It would giverovers teh ability to grow their fanbase and the council a decent return of 5% p.a.

And we all know that any council or community based project in the facility would really be paying lip service to it

It's also interesting to note that the council seem unwilling to "give" land to HUll FC to build their new training facility even though the club has around £1.3m of tehir own funds to put towards it

cant we start banning some of these numpties?

Even if/when the facilities are better I will still be giving my 4 tickets away every week



Apparently some poster wants me banning now for my numpty suggestion that Kingswood/Sutton Fileds/Hedon Road might of been a little bit silly to contemplate for a Super Stadium. I dread to think what will happen, I might get banned off here and have to do some work!!
