I've heard a rumour off 3 different sources today that the Siemens proposal for Hull has got the go ahead and will be announced on 26th November. On the 29th November there will be an announcement about the south end of the ground and the majority of funding will come from Siemens investment. Sounds exciting if true.

I can imagine that Siemens priority would be to sort out the South Stand. They can hardly be expected to set up a multi-billion pound energy business whilst the local team has such a shocking terrace.
I hope they can find a way to keep the Leylandii in any new development.

Easy, just strip the branches off, and fit each one with one of them propellor thingy majigs, bingo free leccy for the floodlights, it's a win, win situation.

Not the Leylandii, no, please no.

I've never got over the loss of The Hut On The Hill at the North end.

It should be a two way stand like the North Stand at Leeds. You can fit a full size pitch in 'no mans land', then (along with the current south stand we have a two sided ground for our Under 19's. You could probably, at a push, fit in a Multi-storey car park there too

I had heard a while ago that in order to take the land at saltend they had agreed to build a complex at craven park which could accommodate Skirlaugh.

Have no idea if there's any truth in it whatsoever though

Do we have a ground sponsor lined up? Siemens Craven Park has a ring to it...maybe we can get a couple of turbines installed & power them up when we're defending the South stand?

Can't wait to see the hotel.

KC Lightstream?

What complex do skirlaugh need than kr don't?

Sounds possible...would Mike Smith reply to his e-mails any quicker?

It was something along the lines of a double sided stand complex. Obviously one side facing our pitch with the other side servicing a playing and spectating area for them.

Like I say I have no idea if there was a shread of truth in it, probably not but us Rovers fans live in hope

All the spare industrial land on Hedon Road and Seimens want to buy a field?

What company have just bought the old maternity hospital? is that Siemens?

Thought the allams owned that land

I'd guess they'd want all of it?

It's been bought by a commercial property development company, who also bought the old Humbrol site on Hedon Road.

probable speculative buying up of land, If Siemens do move into Hull, any land that end of Hedon Road should significantly increase in value

I heard it was a supply group that will work with Siemens eventually when they give the go ahead?

Hopefully all these new companys will be good enough to sponsor both clubs.

Or just Rovers

Oh right, I guess hope is an accurate reflection and that is not a dig. I would also hope if I were you. I cannot see that being true though as surely BP own the BP land and noone would really care what happens to Skirlaugh?

Why because they are in east hull??? like P&O they know the best team in this town phleg.

Yet they still chose to sponsor FC. Strange innit.

Not really we are the biggest and best supported rugby team in this town.
