What's everyones thoughts on this, there is an article in the hull daily mail that hudge has NOT yes has NOT ruled out a move to the other side, I'm presuming if Mr Allam buys the stadium.

He's hardly going to give his landlords the green light to just put the rent up and by declining now where would we move to if our landlords kicked us out?! An unlikely scinario but he is a shrewd businessman and knows not to hastily open his mouth and turn something down straight away like this.

No I know that but could you imagine 40,000 seater stadium 8,500 or few more with away supporters In the KC there is only ever an atmosphere there when it's the derby.

We'd still make more noise than that scabby lot though!

I've said this all along the Hull FC lot are =#FF0000edit, MR and are only renting

Change one side of the ground's black seats for red and both pay rent Simples



Seeming as though your the top side in Hull at the minute they should bow to you

I thought your club was proud of it's East Hull roots, surely Hudgell wouldn't sell you all down the river and become a West Hull club.

Think he's just doing it to get under your fans skins

But not yours?

Personally it doesn't bother me where Rovers play, but most Rovers fans hang on his every word so will go along with anything he says.

May make sense for Rovers to play at the KC permanantly as their attendances are on the rise whilst Hulls are falling.

I for one will never be worried about rovers being the bigger club in Hull when it comes to attendances, never have been, never will be. A cause for concern is the fact that Allam has mentioned a merger before, if he gets us all under one roof, who knows where this could lead.

never say never.

I agree even back in the old days fc had the bigger crowds but tbh i would rather have smaller crowds as hkr than bigger crowds as fc.

If fc want massive crowds let them,we are hull kr and proud of it !

Fair comment, so would you leave your home to play in West Hull? Do you think Allam might have an agenda?

I think the hdm have written the article to sound like Rovers might decamp wholesale to the KC. It is possible that is what Hudgell means, but what he says is much less specific. He talks about 'resources' at the KC - which could mean playing there, or maybe using training facilities or maybe something else (though I can't think what).

You do realise that Rovers ALREADY pay rent don't you!!

Do the Rovers fans think all 8k regular fans would head west?....Pretty sure if Hull were to move into New Craven Park a fair few fans would refuse to attend.

of course Allam has an agenda....its called a power trip ....... if he can get all 3 teams in the kc........ either owned or otherwise his threats of moving to melton if the hcc dont sell him the stadium carries more weight.
however it could also backfire if both kr and fc are not owned by him and choose to keep at the kc.....

.
personally i feel we should stay where we are and not play along with the allam power trip.
stick with and too our own development plan .

and for the record...
i would not ever support a merged team..

A permanent move to the KC is out of the question at least to me it is.

But I would not be averse to playing our home derby there. Just one crowd of 23,000 would almost turn our annual loss into a profit, as indeed it does for Hull FC.

I dare say not many will agree with me though.

Would it?

Take the 10k fans off that you'd get at NCP for the derby, take out the cost of hiring the KC...Can't see the monies left being anywhere near 400k.

Absolute dribble.

Nice of you to come on with your usual rubbish Rommel,but shouldn`t you be more concerned about the Saints at the moment rather than Hull?
You know full well a ground share is as about as likely as you becoming chairman of Radford`s fan club.

Lets get this merger sorted if we go to the KC,

1) Things taken from Hull FC ...The name HULL
2) From HKR we take the Kingston Rovers

The new name would be HULL KINGSTON ROVERS

Colours taken

Hull the White from the Black & White
HKR the Red from the Red & White

The new colours would be White & Red

Players at couches desecration?...Max 3 from FC rest from KR
Also on a side note HKR would then be a Grade A club ... easy

All the above is in jest so read it and take it with a laugh

If Hudgell were considering a move to the KC, surely this would mean ground developments at Craven Park would be put on ice. Last month Mike Smith was clear that it was all full steam ahead, East Stand to be completed shortly, North Stand build commences June, Craven Park unrecognisable by end of July. This is clearly just a rent negotiation bargaining chip.

Is this what Larry was referring to BTW?

I think both clubs at the KC have a veto against new ventures so that idea will be dead and also can you imagine the state of the pitch it would be shafted in a weekend.
In the broad strokes if KR did move it would end a in a merger for KR & FC you cant support 2 rugby clubs and 1 football club at one stadium.

I think it all comes down to business at the end of the day and money talks and if the magic 10k support do's not appear then what?.

He isn't. There ends that line of argument.



Does (the terribly imaginative user name of Larry Billey, aka, Barry Lilley) know what [ihe himself[/i is referring to?

With the lack of evidence so far provided by Larry/Barry himself Occam's Razor would suggest no.

Unless he thinks a 10% discount on the Rufus range of products or the kick-off vs Leeds being put back to 3.15pm will de-rail the club.

Only if you are actually Hudgell. In which case he/you are like Sally Field.I bet you're not even aware of each other.


For starters, his name is more imaginative than a rubbish one like "Beverley Red", "Bransholme Red", "Barham Red". And it works because Larry is actually a proper name, albeit a bit effeminate. And secondly, Larry does have a bit of form on the inside track, even if he is a bit surly. You can imagine my disappointment waking up to a post suggesting Rovers imminent demise and, as MR points out, finding the only "announcements" were something to do with the winning raffle numbers on Sunday. Took the wind right out of my sails, let me tell you.


I think what's happened is the's heard there's a rumour about Rovers going to the KC which is only a bit true and over-reacted which you might do at 2.20am. The only thing we've really learnt is that Larry's not a big fan of Morgan. Are we bothered? Don't know really.
