Indeed they do. However to stage A team games in the KCom would be prohibitively expensive, so they should be played wherever the facilities exist that are available at the right cost. If that happens to be in rural East Yorkshire, then so be it.

If it's in Hull then that's fine too, I was merely stating that it doesn't HAVE to be in Hull.

So the club should only cater for people who live in Hull. What a stupid attitude.

And obviously Withernsea.
Forget those fancy West Hull villages.

We used to be friends

Will you be running a joint reserve side with Hull kr?

Homophobia is not welcome here.

=#FF0000Indeed, OP edited. Karen.

You are probably right regarding Mr Allam, not just the costs the SMC would request, but any sort of negotiations with these chaps seem fruitless, as our Tiger neighbors will attest to, they are having there club dismantled which is a crying shame, whilst I would like the Ateams fixtures played at our home ground, it will I suppose be an alternative venue Brantingham, Costello, West Hull, Chants ave who knows, I am sure Radders and AP will have already discussed it.

I am sat typing in Perenco offices at little Easington.


Lawrie Taylor sends his regards. (the red and white tw@T).

The reserves shouldn't play at the KCOM.

Playing there for the first team should be one the aims for the youngsters.

It's not a stupid attitude at all. The people of Hull should be able to walk to watch their teams play. Like the majority of people used to do. If you consider that to be a stupid attitude, I'm sorry but you're a =#FF0000Please do not use that term. Name calling will not be tolerated. Karen..

I understand the philosophy, but playing for the first team shirt should be the major goal, don’t think the fixtures will be at the KC regardless. What day/night would you suggest for A team games?

Sunday at 3.00pm

Saturday afternoons.

Thanks for your kind words, as they say it takes one to know one!! So you obviously feel that people who don't live in Hull should go and support some other team. I've supported this team since the 1950's and I don't live in Hull but make the effort to travel. Why can't people travel the relatively short distance to either Brantingham or Bishop Burton to support the reserves. Its not as though there are going to be thousands of them.

Don't really get what your all arguing about! Surely county road what Pearson owns would be the absolute obvious choice! Or am I missing something

Apart from the absence of any stands and no available parking, then yes its great.

Bonjour monsewer.

I'm sure it would be worth erecting a small stand , and parking wouldn't be a massive issue, what sort of crowds you expecting. And that sites plenty of unused space , if they wanted to stick some Tarmac down for extra parking . It's a no brainier , be amazed if an a team played anywhere else

There needs to be some sort of establishment where hospitality can be supplied in reasonable surroundings that doesn’t cost the earth. That’s why Brantingham was chosen last time around but the club got stung a few times during the former ill fated system, when teams like Wigan concelled at short notice. Ionians had already organised and prepared.

I don,t think adam pearson owns county road I think its on some sort of lease agreement

Yeh from the Allams I believe.

I would imagine that for the first year at least, until we see if the reserves league takes off properly, we will see Rovers and Hull field a joint side under the COHA banner.

We could use top age under 19 players, allowing more first year academy players to get minutes in the under 19s, and supplement them with lads who have graduated from the Academy over the last couple of years. Listen, Cator etc.

Established first team players could be put into the side whenever either club wished and trialists used if either club has a player they want to take a look at.

Facilities are already in place, and paid for up at Bishop Burton and the COHA staff can be used so I don't think cost would be an issue at all. It would barely either club a penny to set up and run. That would be key I think.

No no no deffo no joint A-team please - if they do the two clubs might as well just effin merge

Have to agree with Seb here. A joint academy is bad enough but manageable. A joint reserve team would be a disaster - how on earth would you manage first teamer's returning from injury? What if both clubs need to run out a player for the same position? what play book do they use? trialists? and any number of other questions and conflicts of interest. None at all is a better option than a joint reserve team.

So Pearson has confirmed we'll be running a reserve team in 2019, but not everyone will. Wigan, Saints, Wakefield, Keighley, Bradford and Halifax are mentioned, but referenced probably not Leeds. Doesn't say that it will be a joint venture with Rovers.
