Orrell have never staged a game at jjb/dw let alone a season

I think it was mooted originally that Orrell would use it as Whelan was involved with them. By the time the stadium was ready to use they had gone belly up though so it never happened.

The Wigan fans might disagree with you there

Clueless.

The two sides most at 'risk', Hull FC and Wigan, do not play in football stadia. And both of them have long leases to play at the dual-use stadia they use. Far more likely that the football sides would have the problem TBH.

The clubs in immediate trouble if this was proposed would be

Reading/London Irish Got a chance of promotion
Watford/Saracens Watford no chance.

Lndon Irish play the same time of year as Reading and thepremier league may kick up a fuss as I think Rading own the stadium.

Don't think this is such an issue now as far as Hull FC are concerned, not after todays results anyway.

which doesn't explain Wigan RL being kicked out so Athletic could play last season does it?

there are always going to be conflicts of interest in these type of arrangements and someone is going to have to take priority.

hence wigans biggest home game of the season was played at widnes a while back

the huge sums of money involved in premiership football is always going to be too big a prize to be compromised by any lease to anyone.

if this goes ahead you can expect any rugby club sharing with a football team with premiership aspirations to be re located some time soon.

the chairman of wigan football club could probably buy the rugby club(and close it down if he wanted to get rid of them) for the price of a decent premiership striker.

in sport and business money is god. some people just will not accept this.

that was a scheduling issue, that had been overlooked during the takeover was it not?

Hull FC 1 - 4 vs burnley, keep up the good work boys

c'mon latics, copy the tigers

I'm guessing you've never been to The Racecourse, or at least not in the last 25 years.

It's not a bad ground these days. A lot better than most RL grounds TBH

totally agree not a bad ground at all tbh

It`s UEFA standard so I would expect it to be good ..

Er I think you'll find that was a better result for latics than hull winning

I cannot see how its any of the FA's business, the KC is a publicly owned ground and FC have lease. They ought to be thankfull we never took the option up to play there, two RL and one football club playing across the same months.



Anyway, football cuts the pitch up more than RL.

It's a past International RL ground to, so... errr.... yes. Forget I tried to draw that comparison please

Why is it only us in England that can't produce a decent pitch for a big stadium?

=#BF0000More important that it being hosted on YT it's got a great big Fox logo in the corner, and Fox didn't post it where you've linked to it. And that's as clear a no-no as the AUP can declare. Capisce? tb **


Notice the date the game was played and you'll see the Aussies seem to know how to manage a pitch suitable for a multi sports stadium.

[size=50*OK, his exact wording was that it was a disgrace, but I'm trying to prove a point here.

It’s part of their business because they want the best possible playing surfaces for their sport. Don’t we want the same?

:ifoqhpiq

How much is the lease worth? Could it be bought?

:ifoqhpiq

Both of them probably are





That doesn’t matter to them it would have longer between games to recover, and could be fully re-seeded etc during the close season.

sorry but didn't both teams use the same pitch? he's just spouting off in fashion bollox to cover up the shame he feels as the club he strung out to dry came back to publicly bitch slap him. Mr Rednapp please meet Karma. pwnd

i love the fact he's moaning about players falling over mmmmm in the old days didn't players used to use the appropriate length of stud for the conditions? and if fooseballers didn't wear those pathetic blade boots they would grip the ground better instead of slicing through the turf.

The upshot is that if Wigan Athletic want a stadium purely for themselves or if the FA impose a ban on dual use stadiums then they are the club who will have to move, not Wigan RL.

The 50 year lease is not new information to Wigan rugby fans however, unfortunately this is something that is seemingly consistently ignored or unknown to other rugby / football fans.

What the situation is for say the KC stadium I've no idea but Hull football club won't be in the Premiership much longer anyway.

They play in the Super League

Headline news!!!

Moronball players, directors, owners, managers talking B%&&%X as usual.

one thing that makes me laugh about all this is that if by some miracal hull city do stay up and the fa makes this official what the hell are hull fc going to do no kc blvard is falling to bits could any one see hull kr loaning there ground to them i think if this does happen some sort of cooling off period should be allowed to relocate

even if hull/wigan or both get relegated. this is not an end to the problem. if either team has aspirations to return to the premiership.

how much would it cost to buy out either RL club?

I see it differently. If this is enforced by the FA and if by some quirk of fate Hull City stay up then it will be Hull City's problem. The FA have no power to stop rugby league being played at the city's community stadium, only the power to stop Premier League football being played there.
