No I do not personally know the poster, I am amazed a former public figure decided to post what he did, I am even more amazed reading further down the thread



Most kr/fc posters are fine and will banter and wind each other, however some are arrogant, ignorant and egcotistic, unfortunatley he is one of them imo

None of which alters the fact Rovers have already been offered the chance to play in a premium stadium gifted to the city by the council on the back of huge cash windfall, and chose to go it alone. It's therefore a bit disinengenuous to start making out the council now owes you one because living the dream has put you £3m in debt.

It's not about the council "owing the club" it "owes the area".

Whilst that simple idea doesn't fit in to your inane fixations, it's common sense that council tax payers money is distributed accordingly.

Have a day off from talking out of your @rse.

The fact it was windfall money makes no difference in principle. It does in practice, but I'll come back to that.
When the issue of Rovers taking up the offer to play at the KC is raised by Hull fans, is it just forum points scoring, or do you really think we should we should? As it happens I'd like to see it for the derby, but that is very much a minority opinion.
Which brings me back to Rovers negotiating position. Ideally the council would build us a sy new £6 million stand. But we need to be realistic - there isn't cash knocking about like there was back when the KC was built and it might not be possible. If it really isn't Rovers should be magnaminous, IMO and accept a smaller tidbit. Use of the KC community stadium once a year for a token payment perhaps. 18k at that one game would drag us up much closer to the 10k average we apparently need.
Image rights - I honestly don't know. But if it was a cover up to hide big losses it either didn't last very long or if lies are being told it is been done pretty half-heartedly.

I think you should be allowed to play your derby there, nearly all the fans would be accomodated, your average would be raised, every-one is happy.

Fine. But if it is established that East Hull is short of facilities, and the council wants to prioritise their provision, surely it's right that they appraise all possible locations in East Hull against a set of criteria such as accessibility, existing infrastructure and cost-effectiveness for example? They've recently assisted a £10m East Park "facilities" upgrade for example, so which area do they "owe" - or have you just made up the area that's a 100 yard radius around Craven Park?

The derby idea is a good one as you don't seem fussy where you hand us our @rses so there's no such thing as home advantage

They might as well have been offered an option to play home games at Twickenham, the overwhelming majority of Rovers fans would not tolerate home games in deepest, darkest West Hull. The decision was taken pre-Hudge anyway, but that doesn't stop the flak heading his way.


Lets not forget that the debt is to 2 Rovers fans, not a bank, or a loan shark, or a hard-faced businessman/woman.

Would the Hull fans be happy in the North stand and West stand upper??

Take another look at what was being claimed.

I should imagine we'd all boycott the game.

Only be 600 anyway. We'd boycott in protest of your boycott of Richard Horne's testimonial, because we charged an extra £1 for Children in Need at the last KC derby, because you charge an extra 70% for the CP derbies.

Dependant on league position, of course!

Honestly, Michael/Daniel, compared to the South "stand" at CP, or the condemned plastic alternative - are you SERIOUS?



Very happy to actually get to view an Away derby from North/Upper West at the KC. The stampede for tickets would crash Rover's computers within the first hour. Or would you be borrowing our ticket office too?

I reckon if Pearson eighth's the price Duffen wanted to charge for the loan of the stadium to the RFL for the International, you may be able to afford the initial outlay.

Hudge should, because the income would more than compensate. [size=75(Seriously do think Rovers should consider this, actually.) [/size

Yep.someone claimed to know of a possible increase in rent and you said there was no rent on the KC. Hence my response...is that clear enough for you?

I love it when FC fans bang on about this as if moving away from a teams core support and grabbing it with both hands is in anyway a good idea never mind into their rivals fanbase.
It is utter bull you know it and I know it.
So do yourself a favour and wipe your chin.

It's clear to me that your comprehension skills are sadly lacking.

Try reading the original post again. Slowly. Maybe it'll sink in.

Here's a clue - I didn't say that FC don't pay rent.

Nighty night.

!!!!! what, you were serious

I'm sorry for not taking it in. Then again I suspect you didn't either!

Apology accepted.

I didn't give one. I was sorry for engaging in an exchange with a half-wit who can't work out what he has posted earlier!

:1hj3vojl

quote="Gavin Miller - Legend"=red:1hj3vojlLets debate without the insults.
Otherwise posts and posters will end up getting removed.

Thanks.

That warning includes Rovers fans too Vince.
Cut it out.

*sigh*

Now you're just embarrassing yourself. I'm pretty sure everyone else understands - it's really not that difficult - but you're so interested in trying to score points that you just can't see what's in front of you.

OK - I'll take pity on you and spell it out...

The OP stated that the rent on the KC was going up, and that FC would have to fund around 30% of the increase. The SMC do not rent the KC - they bought the Master Lease. There is no rent on the KC for FC to fund 30% of.

FC pay rent to the SMC and not the Council, specifically for the use of the KC. This rent is negotiated between the SMC and FC, not any outside body.

So you don't believe your club can raise their share of the money to upgrade the tip into your training ground either then.

Let me get this right then. There is no rent but you pay rent to the SMC as you have always done and it may go up. I think we all get it now !!
Pedantic or what?
What difference does it make what the master lease says, you pay rent at the KC...end of!!
