Its a commercial, 30 year mortgage @ 50K/year according to Hudge on radio. Not rent at all.

Funnily enough, when I bought a new house, I didn't start paying for it until it was finished and I'd moved in. So, that must be just me & Rovers having this bizarre arrangement.

A perfectly reasonable observation now you've clarified that it's mortgaged, not rented. Also explains Rovers' input. Easty, Hudge and MR just clouding things. Rent. Tsk.

.

So given that Rovers are very much in the loop, as one of the concerned bodies they will have been party to all the twists and turns from day one. Present at the various sign-offs, etc. Making Neil's council-fallout even stranger and unexplained. One could suspect there is an ulterior motive after all.

Phil sounds sick of the whole thing and laments the passing of some friendships along the way. So unfair. If MR's politicking, devil take the hindmost, dog eat dog theory bears fruit, Hudgell may do well to bear in mind that other faithful idiom - once bitten, twice shy.

Aye, very possibly. The way things have been at the KC of late has probably meant we won't see the council dipping their toes into these piranha infested waters for a while, anyway.

But where's the immediate need?

I suspect nh is just genuinely frustrated. It has been a tortuous process, unavoidably so in some respects, like the global economic crash. Less forgivably for stuff like getting the quote wrong. And just because Rovers have been in place to see the stuff ups at close quarters doesn't make them easier to swallow.
If You agree that your front room will be painted misty buff and get back from work to discover it is tango orange, your involvement in the decision making process probably isn't of much consolation.

I do not possess a "front room", buffed orange or otherwise.

Caravan then.

If you look at his profile, you'll see he lives in West Hull, not East so the caravan jibe is obviously silly.

Don't you mean 'obvious'?

I obviously don't!!

And. she's obviously a very funny woman.

You're slagging east Hull off yet your called hessle roader I don't know how you dare

I don't get that. So, he's got no chance!!!

Actually, I just got it!

Took this off twitter. Looking good.

not a big fan of white seats till I saw them today looks good just hope we have the fans to fill the stand if not do we open it to away fans?

I thinks its absolutely essential we open it to away fans. Lets face it, the facilities we provide for them currently are poor and it does put a lot off coming (although like today, some fans come no matter what).

I remember Neil Hudgell mentioning that they were going to discount the north stand as a way of compensating the away fans for putting up with the south stand. I assume that would be for 1 season only.

Charging £20 for the current view doesn't do us any favours with away fans,especially if we want them to come back when new stand is finished IMO.

Yes, 1 season, but only 12 games!

You just can't resist, can you?

No!!!

Seeing as we will now have a decent stand we should stick an extra quid on for FC fans to give to a charity.

We will still get the south stand

A safe distance from our cheerleaders. Otherwise they would have to wear waterproofs.
We know what you lot are like when it comes to spitting and cheerleaders.

Is this thing going to be finished for the World Cup then, or what?
Prefer to be behind the sticks and want a decent view.

No.
