Can't disagree with that.

i think theses threads are a laugh to watch.

why ?

the just are.

some good points have been made in this thread so far.

Maybe Hutchie,UllFC or one of the other B&W's who post on this Forum can shed light on what i heard yesterday.

Apparently Hetherington and co want out of Hull.
They approached Adam Pearson to see if he would buy out them out and were POLITELY

told No Chance.

if the price was right, the answer would be too

if true........

when the eurolottery was a £125million jackpot I had a dream I won it...

and bought FC, and built us a rugby shaped ground that was half sunk into the ground, with all terracing, and an atmposphere like Galatiasarys old ground in Turkey..

ill just keep dreaming, its better than facing the current reality

First I’ve heard!

it has been discussed but still only a pipe dream at the moment. however i do know that it is planed where the greatfeild school is.

You where from Salford the last time i checked.

I don't think you will get a new super stadium like the KC!
The only reason Hull FC/City tigers got that stadium was because Hull City council sold Kingston Communication to BT! And with the money they received they decided to build a new stadium!

I wouldnt be like the KC.
It would be modelled on the Hallewell Jones which IMO is a proper Rugby Ground.
A lot will depend on Local Elections as to whether it happens or not.
If it did Speedway and Dogs will operate from the ground as it is now.
15000 Capacity New Stadium will be built at the back of the East Stand.

You are joking? The HJ stadium looks more like a Hockey stadium!

What are you talking about. The 200 Million the council got was for Floating the company on the Stockmarket and they still own 51% of the company which they are now in negotiations with an American company to sell it for 400 Million BT own a 0 percent stake of nothing in the KC

Thats what our Chairman told us! he got the info from Hull city council leaders! he wouldn't lie!

Depends on whats for sale Hutchie


Debts to consider 1st and foremost.

Will be difficult to attract a buyer IMO.

He maybe wouldn't lie, however he appears to be mis informed.

I disagree, there is potential in the club

any serious invester would have 2.3million (it could be less now, they are the last available figures) to pay of the debts..

and then you are left with a club with a decent fan base, with a huge catchment area (if they lowered prices, did some promotions etc) a decent enough squad (last friday not taken into account) and a brand new stadium for at least the next 21 years (how long our initial lease it)

it would only take the debts being paid off really, as we are operating at break-even (our last accounts was a £4,000 loss, which is small change in relative terms) and this years accounts are expected to show a profit.

so with work, FC wouldent take much money to work, once the intitial debts (which mostly are from our last days at the Boulevard) are paid off.

Either way he's wrong. The Council own 51% of the company. and have never sold anything to BT

I was told from somebody reliable. What made me laugth was when he told me no1 is interested.

of course no-one would be interested straight away, theyd expect them to drop the price.

if any deal did happen theyd make Hetherington and co hang on for ages to get FC at a rock bottom price, they wouldent just say "yes Kath" and write out a cheque straight away.

also how many rich sports interested people do you know in Hull? minus Pearson and his backer..

there have been some good responses to this topic and some propogand as well.

True the KR team is playing with heart and are looking good, but don't fall into the trap. Last season you where all full fo expectancy at this stage and look what happened, do not let your aspirations run riot. The rumour of a new stadium paid for by the council, is just that a rumour its election tiime. The simple fact is that only the labour party could command enough support to push that through, they could well lose control. Building another stadium in Hull is political suicide and no party would even take beyond the "disscusion " stage. The price the council will get for its remaining shares will be lower then the intitial selling, about 2/3 less.

Things are a bit grim over at Hull at the moment, it will not last long and one or two wins and this slump will be a bad memory. We will remain in super league next seasoan, even if the coach, tem and management change.

I wish you luck in your league campaign, but do not listen to the hype, rumours and dam right lies that are being peddled about.

Just keep the belief
