I'm not sure firstly why Hull FC fans care so much. And secondly, why anybody objects?

Hull KR are one of 14 teams in Super League. Were hardly football here. If a club maybe has the opportunity to have ground improvement, then I'm all for it. It certainly doesn't bother me that it might be part council funded. In fact, development can mean jobs.

Gwilym's just said Rovers are distancing themselves from this "campaign"

Has a rate payer of this City I have a care 1 Why give HKR more money 2 any spare money should be spent on upgrading Schools or Hospitals / Roads and no cut backs in Policing ..Lots of poster have stated HKR had they chance to move into a New Stadium

The Council do own the ground, but it has been leased out to a private company for next to nothing for 150 years and Rovers are their tenants (they used to be called the gaingroup). The Council are already letting the company rent the ground for a peppercorn. One could argue that the council is putting 100 grand a year which would be the rental value of the place.

Desperation setting in across on the darkside. Thought St Hudge was putting the money up for the East stand extension. I reckon HCC are already helping them with their plans to turn the pictures of the North stand into a little more than just that.

and the RFL are suggesting that they will be following up all of the promises previously made. I think they have delivered more than others, but if the ground is cut on new grounds elsewhere they may face a tough battle.

In all reality I still think they will get a license, but they may have to invest more on their facilities than the playing side over the next 3 years.

No way should any public body be throwing away money funding private sports clubs stadiums during a recession, and I disagree with the NHS/Council being involved in a Hull training ground for the same reason.

the KC was built from funds from a unique event, and was built in a very different economic climate. Also it was Rovers choice to build such a shocking ground in the middle of nowhere. Quite what the designers were thinking with the 'two stands facing the wrong way, tiny school pitch with no drainage' set up I don't know. A properly built Craven Park would have only needed minor repairs 20years on, not a complete overhaul as is needed now.

I find myself totally agreeing with that.

There is no money in the pot for anything ..............

They are actually looking to reduce police, fire, housing, social services, transport, drug programmes, single parent refuges, and these no marks demand a stadium.

Do any of them actually live the real world ?

I see evidence all the time Ian of just how deluded some people are, it's like on the Sin Bin when people moan about cuts and reductions, they obviously don't manage their home budgets very well!!

Maybe they should have read the Daily Mail a couple of weeks back. HCC have to cut 80m from their budgets over the coming 3 years to go with the 20m already cut this year. Investing what little capital is in the pot in premises under private control isn't going to happen.

You wish

You're right, about 8500 then!

Your been generous

, however 8500 that create an atmosphere only your " come on you Ull " fans can dream of sunshine , and you know it !!

Mmmmmmmm "Give us an R"

Aw, bless!

Its only an atmosphere because your crammed into something that is on par with a non league football ground, if you all had your way and got a 15k "super stadium" as mr fewings likes to call it then 8k fans wouldnt create much of an atmosphere at all

I won't continue the arguement however deep down you know it's true , your atmosphere is dire , when our East Stand are in full voice it is awesome , even at the KC in the derbys we outsing you , even when you do find your voice when you have had a good spell you begin with "old faithful........".......only for us to spoil the party and rudely interupt with " You"ll never win at wembley", we then continue the song leaving you "old Fickle ....sorry Faithful" fans in silence


You can have your shiny handout stadium you so often brag about , you will never match our atmosphere, pride & belief , we did it on merit and we are here to stay and you hate that !!!

You here all week?

Get your head from up your Ar-e and smell the coffee .. Why can't you see people all over the Country HAVE to cut back ..There is no money to throw at rebuilding Stadiums ..Ask your main people why they turned down being part of the K C Stadium If it was possible to get over 12,000 + into one stand your little lot wouldn't be heard ..If your management look after away support"like cover"for them you just might get other teams fans coming to your ground

Its easy to sound loud when your all crammed into one little space, and as for out singing us in the kc derby's that maybe true but then you will find that most away fans tend to sing louder when they are away from home.

As far as im concerned you can keep your atmosphere its not going to do you any good when the super league take away your license because youve got a dump of a ground that you carnt fill and poor finances.

What a load of crap it probably sounds it to you as you are surrounded by people singing it so it will obviously sound louder to you if you stood in the middle of the pitch the FC fans would sound much louder.

Your fans will know more about that than ours.

I beg to differ
