The downside means that both a football club and rugby union will be making decisions from everything from rent, marketing and advertising revenue down to who plays when should fixtures coincide.

Hull and Wigan are aware of these pitfalls. Good Luck.

they havn't sold the lease they never had the lease to sell!

well if they want to off the only tenant getting 5kplus crowds whilst their own range from 500-1500 then good luck to them.

It's an Outrage!

just to wrap up one loose end in this story>>>>

So I see Smurf, under a thinly disguised pseudonym has been spreading his mischief here too eh?

This was a deal that all parties hailed as a good one. I won't go into the nitty gritty here, but the Cru have a guarantee of 5 years rent-free playing at the BF. The Cru will fix up the old place in lieu of payment and bar profits go to the stadium company.

In 3 years we will all (Cru, Ravens & Bridge FC) be moving to the new sports village to be built at Island Farm - a place with its own history as a POW camp in WWII for the highest ranking German prisoners.

Cant wait for the new place to be built

Firefly half - Smwrff is not a pseudonym, but a Welsh spelling of my usual name - Smurf - which I can not register on this site as someone has already taken it (probably me!!).

If you want to take every one of my posts as negative - so be it - but the records dont show it.

I prefer RU to RL but am fully behind the Crusaders and am as disappointed bout tonights result as you!!
