If I suggested that you'd rather the council spent £8.2million filling in a single pot-hole with solid gold than on the development at Craven park, would you deny it?

Sounds like it's all on again anyway, so as were were. Prezza's being drafted in as a a go-between.

I reckon Rovers need a £500k p.a. uplift in profits every year to break even, ie to cover the current losses and the incremental outgoings on £2m quid of loan repayments plus additional operating costs. That's a lot, isn't it?

I certainly wouldn't be wanting to take on a loan of that size, having racked up losses of about £2m already, on the strength of an imagined public demand to see Scott Murrell and Jason Netherton currently constrained only by lack of capacity. One-eyed optimism? I guess we'll soon find out...anyway, the reliable Hull taxpayer is on the hook for payment defaults by any of the proposed tenants.

I suspect this story is a load of old tosh which may be designed to put pressure on the council / whoever is stopping KR develop their stadium.

All 3 Hull teams playing out of 1 stadium sounds like a sensible decision on paper, but I don't think the pitch could hack it, and KR fans would not want to move to West Hull.

No change there then

They don't have to move to West Hull, just attend the games there.

I got told today by a rovers fan that they wont be moving to kc now..

reason being they would get the same deal we get..

kr would keep the money of there average attendance, anything over smc get it.. and there average attendance is about 8k (im not sure) but then they would also have to pay rent..

so they would lose money..

(Thats what my mate said.. don't no how true??)

If your mate said it then it's 100% true.

Glad we got it sorted.

Wish Was That Easy All Time.. is there any truth to it..???

God forbid it's a commercial one. Praise the Lord for the benevolence of peppercorn

Hudgell is losing money, you know, all that spending on fancy training camps and 11 overseas players contracts is expensive. The council need to understand that unless they build him a stand and underwrite the repayments, he'll leave Rovers in the doo-doo. Has it not occurred to anyone that he could actually spend a bit less, break even and wait with a big of dignity for the council to work with ERDF - [uon his behalf[/u - to build him this palatial facility? Deary me.

Would Rovers fans rather Hudgell spent less on the squad and remain at Craven Park, or continue to go to cap and play at the KC?

No wonder they bill themselves as "The Community Club", the community, or more specifically the ratepayers, have been bankrolling them since the late 80s

Typo



I think the term, "Living beyond your means" comes to mind.

It's funny that as far as I know, no credible paper or radio station has actually picked up on this story. I mean: The Sun and Humberside.

How many "credible" papers or radio stations cover RL significantly to be fair?

They ain't moving in.

Increased funding is now in place, a new stadium will be built and with the help of Sheikh Allam, Hull City will be moving in with Rovers, into the New, New Craven Park, all ready for City's future return to the Premiership. Here's an artist's impression

Hmm...possibly this could be the new "golf" stand?

If you remember rightly??? Are you trying to say you were there?

No If I Remember When Me late grandad told me the story not long ago before he passed away..

rovers was in west hull and us in east

Yup, Rovers did, for a while, early in their history play at The Boulevard.

if it is you lot still wont get to sit in it

Yeah An they couldn't pay for it or something?? Thats why we moved there??

I think FC offered to pay more than Rovers were willing/able to pay, rather than that couldn't pay anything.

RUMOUR HAS IT THAT ALLAM AND HUDGELL WERE SEEN TOGETHER AT THE KC TODAY WITH A POT OF RED PAINT AND BRUSHES PAINTING SEATS AT THE KC



IS THIS TRUE



?

AUP 1.4....

They would love a 3rd team at the KC! ipitch for us then! www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... story.html

KR are about as likely to move IN as they are to move ON!

ie: not likely at all.
