I think some of the reporting has been, if not inaccurate then misleading.

How many 'gifts' do you pay rent on? And a share of the self-same 'gift' was offered to Rovers. Not our fault that you turned it down.

I don't doubt that for a second, it's still essentially £4m for 7000 people though.

I'd count it as about £1.3m (with the other 2 partners taking roughly [uequal[/u shares). All three partners intend to repay the loan. If loan it be.

Even at £4 million and counting the fans of FC and City works out per capita better value than the KC.






I've said before that if the offer was made again it'd have to be looked at if it was the only one on the table. Would that have been your preferred option?

Not me - I like the way things turned out just fine. Always amuses me when the whole 'KC gift' thing gets trotted out by Rovers fans though. And as I don't live in Hull I'm not even contributing towards Rovers 'gift' so I'm not getting worked up about that either. Compared with my council wasting £4m on a bus lane that isn't needed and nobody wants it looks like decent value for money.

So we're both happy.






Don't begrudge you lot the KC. Hope Cas, Wakey and Salford get sorted out. It's all good for RL. People can talk about the economic situation but unless the RFL relax their franchise criteria to reflect it, those imperatives remain. The punchline to the advice of 'wait, wait, wait...' would be '... too late; ha ha'. This we know.
If it is a loan, which I believe it is, you can look forward to plenty more amusement in the future.

Given the impressively selective memory of the vast majority of Rovers fans I expect the amusement to continue regardless of whether this turns out to be a loan or not.

Lets hope the Golf Stand doesnt fall to bits when they try to move it

Another reason to hate the Council

i wonder if there will be any objections to all this??

The local authority has agreed to[u chase European funding [/uto spend £4.2m on the project.(as read from HDM)

the funding could yet get turned down yet,could it not?

You can but hope.



At least you've got the decency not to pretend!

I think the council's freedom of information team may be very busy as they will have to supply the answers to anyone about the deal.It does seem a little hazy as who will be providing the adult education? (at a time when the fund for adult education has been slashed and 5 minutes from the multi million pound freedom centre which Hull adult eduction is already based in).

simple question!!! just wondered if the council apply for the loan,only for it to be refused,what happens then?there is no guarantee that it will be rubber stamped!!

Yes because it is obviously that unsafe that it got condemed...................Oh wait not it didn't.
Do yourself a favour and stop listening to the voices in your head as they make you look like a t***.

Meanwhile....

[url=http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/news/Theatre-s-funding-cut-163-100-000/article-2924099-detail/article.htmlCity councillors have approved a £100,000 funding cut to Hull Truck Theatre[/url



The HDM also reports Hull City Hall and the New Theatre to have £55k "staff savings", £340k savings from staff restructuring and reduced opening times at Hull museums, free parking at Hull Arena to be scrapped, possible closure of the cafe at Ferens Art Gallery, opening times and staff to be cut at Costello Stadium and possible closure of three Lesisure centre creches.

Will the golf stand be closer to the pitch and not the distance it is now? Still wont stop you getting that wind right up your arris.Also...with there being "seats" there now.......will Rovers be charging full price for ALL away teams and not just us....not that im botherd as not been yet and no intention of ever doing.

Your right Mr wall it was'nt condemned however a prohibition order was placed on it last Novemeber until a lot of work was completed on it because it was dropping to bits. It was then reinspected by the Council and passsed fit to use last season. It will be inspected again and given a certificate before it can be used again once it has been moved.

What is "a tard" ?

Thanks for that, don't mind if I do.

This is all true but it is safe atm which pretty much confirms that is isnt about to 'fall to bits'.
Im not sure if Karl thinks it will be moved in 1 piece as if he does its a bit of a silly thing to think as it will have to be dismantled to be moved anyway.

me too though someone was taking the when i got a form for a pass also

for me its good news, rovers improving there stadium is good news for rugby league in hull and the image of super league.
its what we need as a sport, teams improving stadia and facilites

Maybe the Council might 'back' my fund raising campaign to become a woman. The Lib Dems can always be counted on to suppoort a campaign ! There are loads of campaigns where they are nothing more than perfume politicians . Smell nice but NO substance. Minns would support a campaign to get a mono rail system from Woodcock St to Walkington as long as his face was there on the poster ! Will he march on Brussels when the funding is declined in 2012 !! Also , what private investor has £2m for a stand in East Hull ?????
Will Hudge be getting a loan from Dublin ?
The most important thing is the SL franchise panel asking " so , just where is the cash for this fancy drawing of a new stand ?" Preston Road has taken any ££ that that area will ever need.

Highly amusing to me

Thats were the problem may lie, once its dismantled that might expose any problems.

May be sound now, but rust may be holding the joints together
