but that is just because the Allams have him so tightly tied up ,he cannot even hang photos or let his star signing kit on the pitch unless its during a match

But there again in Rovers defence..........................

Oh wait a minute, they don't have one - just ask Salford

I don't see how Hull KR pulling out of the project/steering group has any benefit at all, other than posture and highlight our displeasure. (a bit like the Dr Allam Melton posture)

Also trying to stoke an east/west financial imbalance isn't really going to help either.

The whole project has being pretty shambolic looking in though. I realise there's probably very little certain people could have done to speed up the process, due to delicate/slightly complicated financial ins and outs. But it's taken an absolute age to get to the stage the development is at. From muted beginnings to long drawn out go a heads and completion dates. Seems ages since the Golf Stand was dismantled and we've been without working floodlights for an embarrassing length of time now. It's being a frustrating project and obviously as a club we're desperate to get it off the ground. The (what seem) basic planning errors (toilets/turnstiles/windows/cladding) must be hard to take - hence the outburst. Especially against the backdrop of continued heavy financial losses.

Wonder if the fabricated poster 'FONT' will return to tell us he was right. Cos' you know what? He was. Someone somewhere doesn't have a clue what they're doing.

Is that imbalance?? or AMBALANCE

Interesting the Council paid for relaying the grass to bring it upto SL standard, not heard about that before from any KR fans as thanks for the GIFT.

We all at times think the council favours one club over the other but as more things come to light it does look like they help each club out more than we know and they should be thanked for that but I guess we all like just talking about the facts that suit us.

It has been mentioned - but your general point is right. Arguments about the scale or frequency of previous and ongoing assistance don't add much value. I quite enjoy them as knock about fun, but they shouldn't be taken too seriously. Whoever really holds the moral high ground - it really isn't very high.

Didn't the stand at Halifax get delayed by 10 years and was only completed in last few years? Oh dear.

I trust Hudgell has the best interests of the club and doesn't speak out very often in reality. I hope this gets turned around, the club needs it. That stated, success ON the field is of a higher priority right now.

Looks like the hand that feeds is biting back. Interesting comment about the club using this to blame the council for their financial difficulties. www.hullcc.gov.uk/portal/page?_p ... essrelease

It looks like all out war

Blaming poor management for loss of revenue is different to blaming them for the underlying financial problems. That said, we can't complain about stuff we signed off on.

See they've given title to East Hull. Like it.

You won't have heard about it 'cos it was back in 2005 when most of the current posters were not around. Rovers got a cash assistance for the pitch and in return Jamie Bovill and others (who's names escape me) did a shed load of RL community work in schools etc. Whilst not quite a free handout, it was well paid consultancy for under qualified advice.

..... or as Lakin put it - "What this money (£98k p/y) will do is help fund our community programme and allow us to release our own capital for improvements, including new floodlights and a new pitch to bring us up to Super League requirements."

Seem to recall the new pitch costing circa £200k and went on to be nominated for some national award (losing to Arsenal, who I imagine spent far more). Shame through cut backs, it's deteriorated to what it is now.

Right so this all boils down to one thing are we going to have a new stand for fans to go into or not it all seems a complete and utter mess to me hope this isn't going to be the downfall of us

Hope it's not going to turn into a white elephant and slowly turn into a piece of history.

It's cost far to much surely to do that after all the fannying about and the stress it's caused surely it won't

Ooh! Phil doing his best again! Talk about a smack in the face for him, this latest kerfuffle.

Interestingly, the article says the funding was for £98k per YEAR. That was back in 1995. Are the council still paying it, Phil? If so that's about the £700k mark already! About the same as Heedless Hudge is claiming the council have cost him.

Of course it will get finished, doesn't make any sense to stop.

Obviously there's serious talks and decisions to take place, but it is rather amusing (to everyone surely) that the staff have been there every day as well as 7,000 plus of you fans at the Widnes & Catalan games and nobody noticed until now!

Thread tidied - trolling and sub-hdm comments type banter. There were a couple of decent posts, so sorry to those posters, but life is short.

Have I just stepped through a rip in the space/time continuum? About 90 mins worth of posts appear to have dissapeared?

Looks like someone's had enough and is deleting posts. Quite right to, the phone call will have been made.

Apology accepted.

I am sure the issues were raised when the cladding started to go up and not yesterday like the FC fans think.

Yep, that's why they made sure they finished it.
