| Quote: Big Dave T "Sorry, not worded clearly. What would be the impact in the local area if they didnt have this facility?
The way that i would be approaching this project from a local authority point of view would be to look at the benefit that the local area would get versus cash spent and then see whether the development is classed as essential currently or whether it's just 'nice to have'
All non-essential builds should be stopped currently imo. Is this really essential is what i'm trying to say based on the local impact on the area of having an NHS centre?'"
It is difficult for me to look at this in an unbiassed way. Just assume I've written my usual one-eyed logic-twisting, partisan nonsense. I need to go find a sock!

I guess publicly moaning about been poverty stricken and the support of a prominent member of the house of lords really is the way to do business then!!

| Great that you are finally getting a new stand but I echo whats already been said on here about the economic climate at the moment. My husband will be pleased that he has a 2 year pay freeze and the threat of redundancy hanging over his head but the Council are using £4.2m of public money that could possibly save some redundancies and give HCC workers their 2% cost of living rise for this year. Its just been reported on Look North that the Council need to save so many million this year and it has been suggested that Hull Truck may have to close and Museums will only open 3 days a week. The new plans for Orchard Park have also been shelved which admittidly is Central Government but there are going to be some very angry Hull Citizens over the spending on your stand.
Not a case of sour grapes or jealously by the way, just don't think now is the right time for the Council to be spending that sort of money.

My Wife also works for the council, she is also under threat of redundancy, and subject to a pay freeze. However, she is over the moon with this news, and would gladly lose her job as a small sacrifice to ensure the future of Hull Kingston Rovers.
A real trooper is my wife!

Actually I'm quite pleased about it. Should finally put paid to all this 'we make our own way with no handouts' bollox that gets regularly spouted by Rovers fans.

Well they quickly forgot the handout that is 'the New Craven Park' so i'd guess they'll quickly forget this handout too.

Not quite , just a re-distribution of the council tax paid.

| I hope we rent some of the office space back to the council at a suitably extortionate rate!

Exactly. I don't think Rovers playing in West Hull was given any serious thought, and quite right too. Clubs struggle out of their heartland, it will be interesting to see how St Helens cope gatewise in 2011, and also how Huddersfields crowd holds up for the 3 games at the Shay in June/July.

Surely theres a flip side to the arguement that it will generate work for builders, electricians and the associated infrastructure. Once the 'hub' is in place it will also generate jobs and investment in the city.
