His intentions were to develop the stadium and the surrounding area. I don’t think he ever mentioned a single occupancy stadium.

Nope, City have over 85 years of a 100 year lease remaining.

In the premier league city what is the percentage of income from the stadium anyone know ?

If the FA dont want city sharing why there in the prem..then the only solution is to move them and latics to the championships.

they have 0% power when it comes to the rugby teams

your situation is different to ours though, doesn't Whelan own the stadium, whereas ours is owned by the Council, as landlord, Whelan will have more right to serve you notice (or price you out) than the Council will have in Hulls case.

To be honest, I cant see either wanting to kick a fee paying user out.

Just reading the article again it says that guy mobray will be commanting on his 1st live engalnd game for the bbc when england play usa. That game is on itv so I'd imagine the rest of the article is of a similar poorly researched standard.

Dave Whelan was only allowed to build the stadium on the basis that it was for both the football and rugby teams IIRC.
If the football league are not happy with both wigan warriors & hull fc sharing stadia with their beloved football then i'm pretty sure that a £20million severance fee per club would suffice. Otherwise both Hull City & Wigan Athletic need to find alternative venues, funded of course by the football league.

Exactly.

Wigan do not have the same covenants on the ground as far as I know, I hope you are right and Whelan gets told where to shove it! (assuming Whelan even agrees)

Trust me its correct, plus Dave Whelan is in a very precarious position at the moment with his beloved Latics on the brink of relegation, he knows only too well that the football league won't give two hoots about them should they get relegated, for that reason alone he doesn't really want to upset the warriors or he could end up with a 25k stadium for a 1st div football side commanding 5k gates

And by the time a new Stadium was built for us City may just be playing Grimsby Town.

Your figures are spot on mate - I really dont know why people keep dredging up the same argument- Hull FC and Hull City are going knowhere unless of course we board the Stadium up like the George on Walton Street

three words

poor
rovers
trolls

well i would love to go back to a rebuilt boulevard, if that was the outcome

enjoy living in the past

not living in the past, if it was rebuilt that is surely for the future

moving back to a ground that would be 13,000 max and risk our economic viability, that is the past.

Not enough room there to make a big enough stadium.

add in parking, transport links and we've really done this to death between us all!!! (again!!!!!)

where's Brough

well i havn't been on this forum thing long, so if i drag up old arguments you will have to forgive me, i just miss the place

Huddersfield

to be honest they aren't arguments, just conversations, most people eventually realise and understand that the limitations of the site would mean we would struggle commerically, and that kind of kills the conversation.

I miss Charlie's Angels, but I wouldn't thank you for a night in a hotel room with them now!

i can see what you are saying tbf, but i will always miss the place and i would thank you for a night in a hotel room with the charlies angels (2006 remake that is)

ah, you see, you're being selective on your timelines, I doubt I'd last a night!

Give Hull City the KC and build a new stadium, Share it with KR

Hull FC and Hull KR in one stadium
