Whelan I believe?

Well Wikipedia says

The Whelan family have sold Wigan Athletic to Hong Kong-based company International Entertainment Corporation for £22m after 23 years as owners.


(BBC July 2018 ish), Wigan Athletic owns 98%, can't find who owns the other 2%.

The Council are selling to Grudgell just so he can get some of his investment back. Think he’s desperate to get shut myself.
Caravan Park is an ageing stadium so all maintenance costs will soon be theirs. At least the Council footed the £100K floodlight bill.

Why would the council do that, even if they could?

Hudgell would clearly be happy to step aside if there was somebody with the money and desire to take over.

I think Rovers are already responsible for the upkeep of the stadium, although that is largely based on what i’ve seen on internet forums.

Don’t underestimate the amount of goodwill the Dobbins have in the upper echelons of the Council. Certainly get looked after more than any other professional sports club in the city. Only because you don’t know about it doesn’t mean it’s not happening.
They’ll get their ground at a good price as they’re worried Grudgell would pull the plug if not.

Do you want to back that up with facts? or you just having a rant because it's KR and are still stuck in the 80's?

The council should help the clubs within reasonable bounds but if they sell some land to rovers which is then developed at a profit then the council should share in that profit imo. They must have stacks of land sat doing nothing that they could give to us on some long lease if we could put a finance package together to build a ground

There’s some fine council owned lands, on the road into Cottingham, maybe we can have a word with the deputy leader of the county council, who I know for a fact, even though he is a Londoner, is a massive rugby league supporter of one of the Hull teams.

Cottingham is in the East Riding, the KC isn't viable without us, we don't need to own a ground, if KR weren't discussing it we wouldn't be.

Hull is in the East Riding.

I respectfully disagree with you, to own our own ground has been a subject well documented in the past, regardless of any intentions by the robins.

It always was when I was a nipper

Hull is a unitary authority that does not cover Cottingham though, does it?

Disagree to your hearts content, that is what forums are about. As I have said before, unless one of us drops £100m plus then the KC will remain our home.

No. But the original point was that that someone in the COUNTY council may be supportive. Hull, like it or not, is in the County of East Yorkshire.

But you knew what he meant, cottingham is run by East Yorkshire council not hcc

The County Council have no interest in Hull, but it's a moot point as it will never happen, there is no value in it for any council.

Public Funds have already provided the KC.

Don’t need to back it up. I know what I know.
Not going to compromise myself for the sake of an internet message board.
Choose to believe it or not, not bothered.

So not bothered you posted it and then go hiding when challenged?

You believe what you want, doesn't make it true.

“we don't need to own a ground, if KR weren't discussing it we wouldn't be”

Er this was your point I disagreed with, you are incorrect.

like I say, your opinion.

I didn't say they had.
I simply stated that Hull was in the East Riding.
Hull FC and Hull KR, both represent East Yorkshire in The Super League.
I don't believe either club would move out of the city, but, in the extremely unlikely event that it became possible to have and own a purpose built stadium, are you saying that you wouldn't want it because it was a short distance outside the City boundary?

Very short LP Priory road
