Humour me and point out the 'obvious two'.

And once again, I haven't blamed soccer for anything.


It's an International against the World Champions. It would get a certain amount of national coverage.


Irrelevant.


I suggested contacting the Council, not a particular member.

Whilst I admire your restraint Kosh, I will say it for you. The guys a first rate TIT.

Right, so two medals then?




Why are you people getting touchy? All I'm pointing out is that it's silly to blame football for your problems when most of you admit to not having one solitary fact on the subject. Or do you really believe looking small minded has benefits to your argument?

AS I keep saying, I've expressed no views on it being right or wrong, just pointed out the stupidity of some of the arguments.

Right, and laying blame while admitting to having no facts whatsoever is so bright...

what a pi$$ take. i have attended every international at the kc, the stadium was built with our money, how has this been allowed to happen? do ypu think this is why fc play every friday night now as there are no premier league games at this time?

No. In fact I'm certain that it isn't.

I'm not in the slightest bit touchy, thanks for your concern.

However, your constant avoidance of my questions coupled with your deliberately inflammatory language leads me to believe that you are simply trolling and looking to start an argument. If you carry on in that vein you can take a short break from posting on here.

The KC is 'big enough' for us and the select few that actually enjoy their chosen sport......Not the hoolies, bandwagoners and Stone Island models that are wanting extra seating.......just in case the ever changing (ie foreigners......ask Deano what he thinks

) Hull City actually make their 'miracle stint' in the premiership last longer than the expected 1 year.

Do you expect several million people to travel from the southern hemisphere to see the game in person?
It's good news for the city as a whole to be able to stage this sort of event, while not knowing the reasons for the SMC not wanting to play ball i can't comment. But Duffen should make the reasons known, he is after all the head of a company running the facility on behalf of the council. If he thinks it may interupt with city's fixtures, or damage the pitch or it's going to clash with Iron Maiden playing the KC then the least he could do is come out and give his reasons, thats not unacceptable to expect surely. Being unnavailable for comment is a copout.
I'm doing my best not to make this a Hull fc v Hull city thing.

oh no, its because you had a vote on the matter did'nt you! i reckon it was a major factor to save any embaressment of fc having to move a fixture when sky or setanta decided to show a live city game on saturday evening or sunday afternoon, the time when most sl games take place! anyway i still feel the rl fans ofthe city have been cheated out of an international game!

Good, because it's that element of the 'argument' from some of the small minded types on here that caused me to comment.

I can fully understand if Iron Maiden are due to play the KC......

So what about the rest of my post? how do feel about that, agree or disagree?

So if the chairman of the SMC just so happened to be our Chief Executive James Rule and he stopped the england football team from playing against Italy and would not give any reason, or answer any questions you would not think it was a decision made for rugby gains?? Get real.

I'm real, by their own admission in their posts, others clearly aren't.

Regarding the travelling, if people were coming from the Southern Hemisphere, I doubt 60 miles here or there would be an issue. I assume you're referring to my point that according to the views of some regarding this 'rugby mad city' it'd be better playing it at a bigger stadium anyway.

I agree that as far as is possible, the full reasons for the refusal should be made public.

I agree that the game should be accomodated if at all possible.

I'm not as convinced as you of the value of such games to the City of Hull, but that's a whole seperate argument. I only mention it so you don't think I'm simply avoiding it.

So your not going to answer my question then?

I didn't realise you meant it as a serious point, it's so far removed from the current situation and reality. The KC wouldn't be big enough for such a game anyway and I can't imagine any City chairman not wanting some say in the SMC. Plus, there are checks and balances in place which mean the decisions cannot be made unilaterally anyway.

So in short, in the unlikely event your scenario ever occured, I wouldn't blame James Rule (who ever he is) until I'd heard some information from reputable sources.

You've only to read this thread to see how stupid playing guessing games makes you look.

No. It was a purely commercial decision.

Or do you think that all the other clubs that have moved to Friday night have done so to avoid clashing with soccer as well?


Nobody cares what you reckon. You are clearly clueless.

Sorry mate, given how argumentative you have been on this subject i find that hard to believe.

Why? I've argued people should reserve their vitriol until they've got at least some facts. How would that conflict with what I've put in response to you?

So.....Just say we are right to assume that Duffen is dicking us out of an international RL game 'cos it 'MIGHT' interfere with a trivial soccer game that 'MIGHT' be planned at the KC, BUT COULD EASILY BE ALTERED!!!!!!!!! (we, or Hull City don't know this yet)........Then, will you fianally join with other sensible City fans in saying that THIS IS ALL TOTALLY OUT OF ORDER AND DUFFEN IS VERGING ON SCUMMERY AT ITS WORST?


Or are you as bad as him?

Do you realy expect to be taken seriously or are you happy to be seen as an attention seeking, childish fool?

Anyway I've answered what I think your point is earlier.
