Neither of the Heatheringtons has any stake in Leeds. If it came to the success of one club over the other you would think that the club they have a financial interest in would be top priority.

KH told GH how much we had offered and thats how they got him

Sources........ Bomber, Tricia and JK on seperate occasions and noe of them had any reason to tell me and others present porkies. If the Leeds club came up for sale they would be straight in

Indeed, the two things preventing them buying L**ds are Caddick selling and the value of the club.

Kath has no interest in Hull FC at all.

Indeed!

We have missed out on some kids our scouts have found, we went in to find Leeds beatus to it.

Comes from the scout himself

I'm aware of the story, and also of their not-so-secret desire to buy into Leeds given a chance. That's why I used the phrase 'you would think' in my post. It seems counter-intuitive to increase the value of a club they wish to buy and decrease the value of a club one of them already has a stake in.

It's not counter-intuitive, it's f'ng idiotic!

But that's what happens when people with small minds own sports clubs I am afraid.

With this lot you never know what they are doing and for what reasons

They got there money back from the Gateshead mess and ended up with FC. I bet the club is worth quite a bit over what they bought into back in 1999. They must have some cash return over those years since they came with Richo. I do remember in the early years some one on the board being "paid" £30ish for some sort of advice one year which caused a bit of a stir at the time.

There must have been other " advice sessions " as well.

The whole ethos at the club changed direction when Bomber and Trish left, it became a whole lot less customer (fan) focussed. Those two did so much to help put this club on its way to success and to some extent the present regime have been feeding of that ever since.

Thank you Ian, i rest my case, until we can shut our selves of KH, this club is going know where.

Kirke started his career at Rovers and had stints with Dewsbury and York before Leeds snapped him up. You had ample time and opportunity to sign him if you wished so i dont think the Hetheringtons can be blamed for that one!

I know his history

He was left alone

She was here when we won the CC and got to the GF. And she isn't the majority shareholder, so the rest of the BOD could overrule her if they wanted. Are they all in on this scheme as well?

More likely it's complacency and a baffling inability to see that they will lose passholders if the situation isn't rectified sharpish.

Because Leeds were tracking him? I know that Leeds had (have) a link up with York but if thats true it is staggering.

Try to keep up



KH at FC and GH at Leeds there is a special bond between the clubs at board level at least.

I do think over time that relationship between Hull and Leeds has worked OK for both clubs, indeed there may have been many more positive advantages. we do not have any ken too

Leeds signed Kirke from York with whom they have a tie up. I assumed you meant that because Kirke was at York then Leeds were keeping an eye on him so Gary asked Kath not to go after him.

Do try to keep up...

Now THAT is bile


had nothing what so ever to do with that or anything else that happens at FC
fantasyland honestly , all this is getting silly now FFS

I wasnt on about Kirke, but that has made good reading

Im on about the cumbrain back we found, scout told the club, then nothing happened, by the time the scout "reminded" the club to do summat they contacted the player and in the meantime Leeds got him

Prove me wrong

Better still as you stated that in the first place YOU prove gary had anything to do with FC what so ever
not heresay
not wolfie said
show me the money laddie

According to a statement read out on sportstalk he wasnt in Ireland but away for "personal reasons".

Doesnt sound like a vacation that was booked months ago to me.



yourself in the foot again

I don't suppose his foot was in his mouth at the time was it?

We can but hope!

sportstalk huh?? that legend of journalism , must be true then

It was an "Official" statement from the club.Doubt if they'd be making it up..do you???

He does , all he time. Make it up that is!

Personally i think hes Agars right hand man.If you know what i mean
