With immediate effect? What about Horne's racing night there?

Just checked and this is on Richard's Testimonial site

[iThe Richard Horne Testimonial Committee has just been informed that Hull Greyhounds, operating at Boulevard Stadium, is closing down with immediate effect.

Accordingly, the Company will not be staging Horney's Night at the Dogs event on the evening of Saturday 18th July.

The event was approaching a sell-out and contact will be made in the coming days with those fans who have booked places regarding a refund or switch to other Horney events.

The Committee apologise for any inconvenience for the cancellation of this event, which is obviously outside of their control due to the demise of Hull Greyhounds.[/i

What will we do now for pre season training?

If it where possible i would get into negotiations with the council about getting the reserves and acadamy to play there again.

Flatten it, use the diverted HRA monies to build much needed housing, was never viable to keep it in the first place.

I also say flatten it



Better that then a slow decline into ruin

Unfortunate truth Ian, unless FC can build their training facility there or something. I will be sad to see it finally go, but I fear it is inevitable.

The new training facility is on the Uni campus site and it will go forward, It is in what is now a run down area and its demolition could be the the start of a new begining for the whole area.

Then best stand a couple of years ago, clearly starting to go into ruin

Very sad day when it goes. Always enjoyed trips to the Boulevard even though we generally lost. A cracking hostile atmosphere and always good close games.

agree with standee - its a prime site to kick start some council house building and regeneration

Surely a few tents and portaloo would suffice

At first I though that was a pic of the new stand at Craven Park!!

i know the kc is a great stadium..but it doesnt bring back the atmosphere of the old boulevard..i spent some good laughs there years ago having a good old banter with you hull speccies..

move back

great idea.

I agree, I wouldn't look forward to your new stadium too much mate. It will bring more fans and revenue but the experience is nowhere near as enjoyable.

the stadium isnt going into ruin.. its still looks fine, they have put money into it

Nah.
Rumour has it that the Boulevard is being bought for by the cosmetic industry as it is the biggest rat breeding ground and craphole in the world and will save them a fortune!

So it is the new Craven Park stand ?

At least they would have to buy it, you'd have to give your sheethole away or pay them to take it off your hands.

I dont get it!!

Oi, who's chucking tumbleweeds?!!!

And this comming from someone who's ground is comming off pramland Preston road.

shame weve moved on then to the PREMIER sporting facility in the league wereas your crap hole still stinks of days gone by...
when rovers can play at a 25000 seater stadium come back on here and gloat, until then id stay silent as your sounding foolish
