Old hat...........

heard a big rumour that hull fc will not be getting a new franchise as they are getting threw out of the kc stadium next year

Garbage!

end of the day hull football own that ground so there might of been a disagreement between the footy owner and the rugby owner and wakefield was another one

The stadium is owned by Hull City Council and operated by the Stadium Management Company (SMC).

This is you when you heard the rumour

I suppose this quashes some of the rumours

Or fuels some, if everythings OK why try and quash it especially when its on a Hull KR message board? very fishy (no pun intended

)

"I was approached in 2004 to start up a club that was capable of getting into Super League by 2009," said Samuel.


Did he know something we didn't?

Yes I found that one interesting as well , approached by who I wonder ?

Missed one vital fact though. Chairman of the SMC is also the chairman of Hull City (not too different a situation to our friends down the road)

The plot thickens news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 135198.stm

How annoying is this comment as well:-

"We must go forward with a viable facility and the stadium at the Brewery Field was not ideal at the time of the initial bid, it didn't meet certain criteria and we have to meet that criteria this time.


All this just comfirms what we knew all along. Crusaders would have got in if they had a squad of 10 over 60 year olds playing in a run down car park in wales.

I am ashamed of the people who run the sport i love. No disrespect to Celtic but i hope it does go belly up and bites the RFL on the a**e

I'd have preferred it the powers that be just came out with what they were intending to do instead of all this cloak and dagger ticking criteria boxes rubbish.

Exactly. They should turn round tomorrow and say:
"Look, this criteria stuff is nonsense - it's to be scrapped. We (a chosen committee) will lay down some guidelines but essentially, WE will decide who participates in SL and who doesn't. End of".

At least we'll have a bit of reality from those running the game and we do away with these tiresome debates about who has more criteria points and all that guff.

And you would have to have an independent panel so no one could have favourtisim over any one team

Heres a novel idea that wont need a BS commitee showing any club any bias



The team that finishes bottom of the Super League is replaced by the team that wins the Championship Grand Final

( only joking )

Wow.

You are way ahead of your time with that one. It could just work but it would be too radical a step for the RFL to take on.

You crazy crazy b'stard

Isn't that just what happened?

Think everyone new what was happening at the time and a couple of his statements proves what we all new that Celtic would have gone up regardless and the same will happen next time round with either Gateshead , Barrow or Toulouse.

Oh dear what about Widnes, Fax and us

Egg on the face rfl top clowns.Even the 9s comp is rubbish as i went to leigh and not sold any.As a widnes fan i bought then upgrade on the day.RFL sucks.

Yes, it is, but it was shrouded in the pretence of a selection process. Why bother?
