Clock ticking for Hudge and his 10000 break even target.

I meant in principle, if we have terms to veto it I would expect us to, just for the state of the pitch.

Lets Merge

That's one point. The other is that although it's a community stadium it has commercial terms for access/use.

it's a fairly throw away story, Allam says "If I buy it you could come and play there" to Hudgell.

just the same as me saying "If I win the Euromillions on Friday I'll buy the club and sack Agar" to a mate at the Wakefield game

both may be ideas, both may reflect valid opinion, but they are kind of reliant of things that we can't control.

Why would Hudge want to move Rovers to the KC? It would be the death of their club, my father-in-law refuses to go since they moved from Holderness road, god knows what he'll think if they moved to West Hull.

They had their chance.

Won't make any odds will it??? He doesn't go anyway!!!

Well pointed out, good for you

Oi soft-cock

Does anyone know (for certain) whether or not rovers could apply to move into the KC or did their rejection of the initial offer to play there remove that option for them? Because it is a community stadium for the city of Hull, I would have thought they had just as much right as ourselves or Tigers. But did they veto that right with their initial rejection. I was under the impression it was an open ended invitation, although I could quite easily be wrong on this count.

It's all hypothetical anyway as I'm sure all supporters from both sides would be stunned if it ever actually happened, even though (in my opinion) caravan park is actively holding rovers back.

Was just being pedantic, that's what i'm like...

I do know what you mean tho, can't see many of their fans going for it!!

Just have to put yourself in their position. Also think our derbies would lose there edge, it wouldn't be East vs West.

Can't imagine Rovers would want to leave the salubrious surroundings of Craven Park....

Anyway,it costs a bomb for the SMC to get in loads of disinfectant in for the North stand after their one visit a season....could you imagine if they moved in???????

More muddying of the water



Hull KR where offered an opportunity to join the other two clubs at the KC, they declined the offer. Both Hull city and FC signed the user agreement as joint major tennants of the KC, they both have veto rights on the stadiums use by other users. Clearly if city where having a good run in the FA cup and wanted use of the stadium one Saturday and it was booked for a wedding, the wedding would move. If this covers bringing a third club into the stadium is difficult, but I would say it could involve re assessing the user agreement ( inc rents ) for all involved.

Mr Allam is a very astute businessman and is now showing distinct signs of wanting to build a sports empire based in Hull, one that will be based on profit. David Lloyd had the same dream and it became a nightmare for him and the sports fans in Hull. It will end in a disaster for him and every one involved around him as the whole thing is built on very dodgy foundations. He may be worth millions on paper, myself and many of others have certifcates stating we xxx number of shares in Hull RLFC, now totaly worthless. He has borrowed heavily to buy city and can not borrow any more to fund them without some form of asset, the KC is the asset he needs.

He know his time is running out as after the local elections the new Labour controlled council will not let him buy the KC. He knows he has but a few weeks to try and extract some sort of deal with the libertines currently in charge, a party that actively campaigned not to build the KC. It makes me smile when I look at the obelisk outside the reception emblazoned with the legend opened by Simone Butterworth

Hudgell also like the intrique, media attention and the adoration of the red and white hoards, the whole being that is KR seems to enjoy attacking with the intent of destroying FC.

If it worked I do not see a problem, my only fear is that some dim wit would want to merge the 2 clubs

Yeah I said this same thing at work this morning. Couldn't afford the cleaning bill

Either that or Hudge as just realised Caravan Park is really a dump afterall and nobody wants to go there unless Hull are there or Ollie Murs.

Although Allam has apparently offered Rovers the opportunity to play at the KC i dont think that is on the agenda in the current talks. I think that you will see a bigger Rovers presence down at the KC going forward but it wont be on the pitch.

Renting office space?

True...and it will prove to be their downfall in the end...

Unless it happens to be there on the nights/days we play I wont be seeing any Rovers presence.

Some people might go and see Rovers play at K C Stadium and a few floating
fans as well But this Black and White wouldn't put money into Rovers funds..
some how I cannot see Rovers Playing at KC..

Sounds to me like rovers are suddenly faced with the prospect of actually paying to use caravan park and grudgell is doing the same as allam did when threatening to move to melton.

I have heard that rovers are looking to take an empty retail unit and open a shop at the KC

Exactly.
