I could get the whole coaching team renting properties , I would be Rigsby/or that Landlord off Young Ones - what was he called ?

how dare you, i actually do have contacts!

Mr Balowski.

It would seem to be a good idea on the face of it, indeed it could be an inspiration for younger players to play on hallowed turf. The HU POSTCODE area also needs a stadium it can use for cup matches for the amateur teams as well as the juniors. I hope they include a clubhouse as well and that could be a good source of revenue for the club as well as providing suitable accomodation for local groups.

I hope the club can go forward with this and coupled with the NHS involvement could be a bonus. The project coould be off the ground quickly at least rugby could be played there as soon as the dog track is ripped out and the turf relaid . Getting the reserves back playing within the city is a must, Brantingham is nice but more supporters would go I am sure if it where closer to home.


[iGoing down the Boulevard to see FC aces[/i could again be part of the Hull vocabulary

I think it would be a good move too

the only snag I can see is that would the NHS want a new facility so close to HRI and that new Health Centre on Anlaby Road? would they feel they are just spending more money on the same area?

as long as it specialises in different medical conditions there should be no issue

Depends what the spatial strategy is of the council (not just the NHS). Both North Hull (PFI bid in place for housing) and the NASA area are prime sites for this sort of development.

Is the site big enough? I would have thought a training facility would need 2 or 3 pitches, indoor facilities and administration facilities before you even start to think about the NHS part of the operation

not if its done on the cheap

Planning was approved at least 6 months ago for re-development. You're slacking old boy.

I bet the players can't wait to travel down St Georges Rd/Boulevard/Selby St everyday



At least City have got it right by setting up near most of the players houses.

and i suppose grudgehill flies your squad in by helicopter to miss out the luxurious sights of preston road and all its surroundings

The area in question is down for renovation if and when the council can be ar$ed.

You wouldn't need all the cark park space or terracing so 2 pitches would be possible but would involve major redevelopment. Would be a lot more expensive than starting with a flat field

a change is as good as a rest

if the redevelopment of the boulevard went to a german contractor,i wander if they would rebuild our house.after all it was them feckers who blew it up.

The Boulevard was bombed during the war, the South main stand was flattened by the Luftwaffe. It was also the home of a barrage ballon unit at one time one of around sixty that protected the city.

78,000 homes in Hull where damaged or destrroyed by enemy action during WW2 and was the most damaged city.

The last bomb site in Britain is also in Hull on Beverley rd, the old cinema and there are plans to turn it into a restaurant .



History lesson closed for the day , class dissmissed

Thought it was a listed bomb site. This can only happen in hull

Bomb sites listed



Not as far as I know its not , but it should be

I was pi55ed at the time - I apologise!

FWIW, the redevelopment wont be done on the cheap and to expect everything to be done immediatley would be wrong. Its going to cost 250k just to demolish the terracing that is still there

"The remains of the former National Picture Theatre are grade II listed (as of 2nd January 2007) and the Swan Inn is locally listed (as of 19th September 2006). The site is located within the Beverley Road Conservation Area. " (Hullcc 2009)

taken from the planning permission of said restuarant, see link

In the same article it states

"RECOMMENDATION

That the application be Refused for the following reasons: -

1 The proposed development would result in the substantial demolition of a Grade II listed building within a Conservation Area. "


My point was that only hull would conserve a bomb site

Hull has more undeveloped bomb sites untouched since the war than any other UK city.

Good news !!
I'd rather Our Spiritual Home be used for anything connected to sport then have it torn down or even worse become a Nettos or aldi or dare i say it ?????????
