I'd imagine that'll be at the Stoop as in 2009.

Would sooner watch that than our shower of $hit and would get a damn sight better crowd here than it would down there.

Oh I quite agree. Aus v NZ at the KC would be awesome. I just think the RFL will go for the Stoop, they got over 12,000 in 2009.

Pi$$ poor though that isnt it for a match of that stature....there are a damn sight more convicts and Kiwis in london than that....sod them down south...bring it up here and get a full crowd in.......23.000 shouting for the Kiwis...lol

I would think the red and white lot would be supporting Australia

This conversation had nothing to do with us not one of us commented on it but some still just cant help bringing us up.
Bless

Indeed, it's a thread about international rugby league.

Sadly you do reckon.

What killed off any three-test tour was financials and logistics.

It simply is no longer feasible to continue in the traditional 3-test format

Well most of our Aussie stars are Test-level IMO.





Re the news, absolutely fantastic, common sense says this city should have international rugby, brilliant for all RL fans in Hull.

Be nice to see some decent rugby at the KC

Eh?

It's only five weeks and a day since the stadium witnessed a world-class display by a team of Test-level stars.

bet quins ground gets that game

Wouldn't interest me live personally - would kinda be a great spectacle, but the atmosphere would surely be dead.

GB/England match over Aus v NZ everytime IMO.

Hey O/T with the popularity of NFL over here I wonder if we'll ever see an American Football game played at the KC?

I ing hope not roofs.

Would rather have a decent band play.

Agree 100% Sheldon, just meant because they manage to sell out Wembley every time for (IIRC) exhibition matches, wouldn't be a big shock if they staged some kind of 'On the Road' travelling tour of matches to cash in on it's popularity.

Excellent news!

You would rather see England vs France or Wales instead of seeing us play the aussies or kiwi's or even seeing aus vs nz for that matter

He's the new CEO of the SMC and more importantly nothing to do with Hull City. This is a very good move for us.

Tbf Karen...it was only that to$$er Duffen we had bother with......Pearson wasnt that bad with us.

I agree, however a completely impartial CEO of the SMC is what we've wanted since 2003 and I'm glad we finally have one. I look forward to FC finally being treat like equals at the KC.

Think you best re-check your info

The NFL hasn't become the most successful sports league in the world by allowing their teams to give up a home game infront of around 80k to come over here and play infront of 25k. Do the math, as the yanks would say.

Indeed. Reading the Wail article I thought - great, a neutral. And this morning, reading Wilf's (once again excellent) diary this morning I thought the same as Karen. Wilf said:

"The other day I met Mark McGuire who is the new head honcho at the KC and in charge of the SMC. It was a great opportunity to explain to him that many FC and indeed neutral fans feel that the SMC is too closely aligned with the football club and in fact seen by many as being one and the same thing. He surprised me by admitting that he actually agreed there was a misconception there, and that one of his first priorities was to try and =#000040wrestle back some independence for the management company and some impartiality between them and both their main tenants. "

...which boded very well.

Scarred by the appalling Duffen, [url=http://www.hullcityafc.net/page/WhosWho/0,,10338,00.htmlI checked[/url, and now I feel a bit cheated. Surely the best way to make the SMC independent from it's tenants is to hire, er, independents.

Stiil, it's so far so good with Pearson. Let's hope Maguire is more a Pearson rather than a Duffen. But either way, as an employee of Bartlett, he'll be targeted to make a profit for his boss first and foremost.

Seems one of the Vice Presidents is no longer on the list too

You mean Hudge has gone?? Impossible - the Jack of all Trades wouldn't relinquish his KC hold. He must have another new job...




Neil Hudgell.
