Good, because it's that element of the 'argument' from some of the small minded types on here that caused me to comment.

I can fully understand if Iron Maiden are due to play the KC......

So what about the rest of my post? how do feel about that, agree or disagree?

So if the chairman of the SMC just so happened to be our Chief Executive James Rule and he stopped the england football team from playing against Italy and would not give any reason, or answer any questions you would not think it was a decision made for rugby gains?? Get real.

I'm real, by their own admission in their posts, others clearly aren't.

Regarding the travelling, if people were coming from the Southern Hemisphere, I doubt 60 miles here or there would be an issue. I assume you're referring to my point that according to the views of some regarding this 'rugby mad city' it'd be better playing it at a bigger stadium anyway.

I agree that as far as is possible, the full reasons for the refusal should be made public.

I agree that the game should be accomodated if at all possible.

I'm not as convinced as you of the value of such games to the City of Hull, but that's a whole seperate argument. I only mention it so you don't think I'm simply avoiding it.

So your not going to answer my question then?

I didn't realise you meant it as a serious point, it's so far removed from the current situation and reality. The KC wouldn't be big enough for such a game anyway and I can't imagine any City chairman not wanting some say in the SMC. Plus, there are checks and balances in place which mean the decisions cannot be made unilaterally anyway.

So in short, in the unlikely event your scenario ever occured, I wouldn't blame James Rule (who ever he is) until I'd heard some information from reputable sources.

You've only to read this thread to see how stupid playing guessing games makes you look.

No. It was a purely commercial decision.

Or do you think that all the other clubs that have moved to Friday night have done so to avoid clashing with soccer as well?


Nobody cares what you reckon. You are clearly clueless.

Sorry mate, given how argumentative you have been on this subject i find that hard to believe.

Why? I've argued people should reserve their vitriol until they've got at least some facts. How would that conflict with what I've put in response to you?

So.....Just say we are right to assume that Duffen is dicking us out of an international RL game 'cos it 'MIGHT' interfere with a trivial soccer game that 'MIGHT' be planned at the KC, BUT COULD EASILY BE ALTERED!!!!!!!!! (we, or Hull City don't know this yet)........Then, will you fianally join with other sensible City fans in saying that THIS IS ALL TOTALLY OUT OF ORDER AND DUFFEN IS VERGING ON SCUMMERY AT ITS WORST?


Or are you as bad as him?

Do you realy expect to be taken seriously or are you happy to be seen as an attention seeking, childish fool?

Anyway I've answered what I think your point is earlier.

You really need to meet me sonny.......Really!



Attention seeking??? Yep, that'll be me



Oh...and for the record.......Coooooome on Spurs!!!!!!!

Disappointing , that some agreement could not be reached with the SMC.

It would have been good for the City to hold one of these games.

Massive lost commercial oppoprtunity for the city - prob. a good 10,000 travel to these games, taking in the Deep, shopping, pub lunches etc - thought the council were trying to help local traders !!

Many of us are SPORTS fans, me FC first & foremost but take in a fair bit of soccer ( hard to get excited enough to shout though !! ).

Finding it hartder to reconcile supporting the Tigers on a secondary basis when it now looks like doing so will hurt ny First love - FC.

Disgrace Duffen, SMC & council - you have all let the entire CITY of Hull down !!

Has anyone had a reply yet ???

Don't the council have to respond to something like this !!!

Don't know if it's been mentioned on here yet, but Doncasters keepmoat stadium has been chosen to host one of the games.

I cant believe this has been allowed to happen!!!!

Who can i demand answers from ?

you belive what you want, but having attended many of the hospitality events on match days its a right pain to get there on time on a friday unless you book a half day off work! your board are full of e and you mugs belive all they say is true! you are clearly clueless.

says a rovers fan with Hudgel constantly spouting the sh;te he comes out with

The irony meter is working overtime isnt it!!
