Fcuked by Duffen, no way was that an impartial decision, thats got City written all over it.

duffen and the smc should hang their heads in shame, surely they could request an away fixture on the date it was planned for, regardless of what league they are in

heres hoping city get relegated now!!

Can't say I blame him, they will probably be playing sheff utd that week or something

I knew the soccer prima-donnas would take over like this. Our community stadium is slowly being stolen by the premier league.
We were promised concerts every year as well as international RL.....I bet if we get offered an England u21s soccer (pointless boring) game, Duffen will bend over backwards to lick the FA's ass!!!!!!!!!



CITY FOT THE DROP

does anybody have mr s email we can all vent our anger

This will harm us in the future! there's no way city couldn't agree with the premier or football league for that weekend to be away, they move fixtures about all the time. This is another case for us to move away from the kc, say what you want about steps forward our club has lost a bit of it's identity since it arrived there. If city remain in the premier league when the premier league decides to demand all stadia are football only (and yes they can) were will we be? and don't give any crap about leases, 25000 every week or 12-15000 is an easy decision and we will be given a bit of money and told to bod off!

what really gets me is this... "Mr Duffen was unavailable for comment." ok i can live with your decision but at least grow some balls and explain/fob us off with your reasons

Disgraceful decision from the stadium and no mistake.

We've had international RL at the KC every year there's been any around at "The Best Stadium in British RL" (apparently). The game should have been planned and accepted by the stadium without a thought, then the City games worked around that, the same as in previous years.

Duffens 'unavailability' for comment says it all, surely the council should have some leverage/influence here by stating what is best for the whole community. Duffen hasn't any valid excuse/reason not have it other than the interest of City, it stinks. Duffen out of the SMC.

would you like to elaborate? i don't mind you disagreeing but not giving a reason is unforgiveable

cant be d... i like the kc... there u go

which is why we need to put our point across as fans, both hull and rovers and all local rugby supporters weather it be to the council or mr duff

Anybody got the e-mail addresses of Duffen and Riley?

The SMC should be an independent organisation it was a mistake when Hull City Council allowed Adam Pearson who in turn sold out to Paul Duffen to be involved.
It’s very interesting that following the furore when Wheland made the JJB unavailable to Wigan Warriors it is now available for the Four Nations. What next will the Tigers blame FC for the injuries if they are relegated?

I've just fired off the below e-mail to the SMC.







FAO Mr Duffen

I am writing in objection to your unexplained decision NOT to permit an International RL match later this year at the KC Stadium.

You shouldn't have to be reminded that the stadium is for the benefit of the whole of the community and not the sole use of Hull City AFC.

There have been many International RL matches in this City well before you came here, some were played at Boothferry Park to accommodate the vast RL following in this City, not just Hull FC and Hull KR but the 1000s played at amateur and junior levels that play in and around the Hull and district area.

You need to be reminded Mr Duffen that this is also a RL City, and your unexplained decision to deny us the RL supporter the privilige to support our National team is deplorable and insulting.
24000 RL supporters attended games at the KC and Craven Park over the last two games in Super League, you have no right to deny us the privilige to support our game.

and i was just gonna call him a cock

We should all do similar, from both sides of the city. This is our sport and we are being denied the chance to support our national team. It's a disgrace. E-mail address please.

Hull City cannot afford to buy the stadium from Hull City Council, they also cannot afford to build a 35000 capacity stadium for themselves elsewhere.
the cheapest option would be to build us a 20000 capacity stadium on the site of the old Boulevard

As a Hull City season ticket holder I am disugusted at this decision. I am so disappointed and angry I am wishing City get relegated if this is what it means for the "Community" stadium that is the KC.

This does not belong to Hull city or Mr Duffen, it is for the people of Hull. They should move mountains to get a high profile game such as this at OUR stadium. The truth is, the SMC are all pi55ing in the same pot with Duffen and he has probably convinced them that the all seeing and ruling premier league is high rpofile enough.

Shame on you Mr Duffen. clear off back to where you came from ASAP. I'm beginning to seriously dislike my Hull City in the Premier League.

In the all important run-in for City, I think Hull FC players should wear one inch studs and make sure they take great pleasure in tearing big lumps out of OUR pitch

Problem solved as far as i'm concerned! not sure about the site though.

There were no problems getting hold last week of him for his two page interview in the HDM when he was justifying his decision to spend £5M on Jimmy Bullard.

As you said, he should make himself available for comment.

ive sent my email
