Quote: Mild Rover "Fewey reckons that the council is sitting on a pile of cash from the second tranche of KC shares they sold. Dunno if it is true. Info on the North stand, has always involved talk of multiple partners. The council would be one and a very important one. there'd be commercial input too, I'd imagine. And I think there may have have been mention of an application for an EU grant (there goes a huge swing to UKIP in West Hull Yeah I've read that but I'm pretty sure the council have said it's all gone on repairing buildings etc after the floods. If you can't get the funds required for the north stand and are still awaiting the funds for the small extension on the east why do people seem to think you'll be able to get the funds for a new stadium? EDIT: scrap that they have around 100m according to this report from 2008 www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... ticle.html

One reporter decided that East Hull needs a new stadium and with very little thought about funding and other major elements wrote an article and started a poll, this new stadium wont be talked about anymore in 2 weeks time.

what beats me,is,who actually decides where to invest this money????

There is no funding coming from anywhere for this stadium because, as it stands, it doesn't exist and isn't currently on the agenda.

It may seem a bit 'pie in the sky', but I wouldn't want the club to invest heavily in Craven Park only to realise 5/10/15 years down the line that we really should've put the money into a new stadium that would benefit the club and community.

Personally, I can't see it happening and think the club and council will continue to press on with plans to develop CP, but if nothing else I suppose this interest and the petition will at least get that question asked and hopefully make sure the correct course of action is taken.

Mark Fewings is not a reporter, he started at hull daily mail as a cleaner found and pencil and note pad in the bin and started writing about his love for household pets.

The rest is history.

Surely to secure a prestigious post with the HDM he must have at least completed the Shoddy Research Course.

maybe ought to put them back in the bin!!

You'd be surprised.

There is rumours that when his brother, a superb piano player, was asked by Mark Hateley to play wing back he'd only do it on two conditions.
One that Hateley would get his mong of a brother a job.
Two that he could have a go on the blonde behind reception.

From that day on Mark Hateley refused to talk to the local media except Mark Fewings.

And the blonde left with a big pay off.

This is FACT

it could be.

But so could the rumour that he ran in the hdm offices chasing a butterfly and never left.

I can remember bumping into MF at leyton orients ground in a play off game years ago.

We chatted about the game and he was trying, I use the word loosely, to get fans reaction.

In the end he said 'balls I can't be bothered I'll make some up, no one reads this poo anyway.'

the day after I read the paper to see what he'd wrote and was surprised to see 5 people quoted who he knew that never went to the game.

On a side note I travelled down to the game with a current hkr shirt sponsor, I know all the hull celebs!

Its great that Fewey is highlighting this point and raising awareness, but will anything actually happen from this? I doubt it.
