When the KC was first suggested didn't KR get an option to move in as well, I thought they had?



Whilst I can see an element of a point to their observations, I can't see how any right minded individual can think it's a responsibility of the Council, with finances as they are, to invest in Craven Park?

Think the Council has done plenty for Rovers. They gave them the old Craven Park -And Rovers decided to sell it - so the Council then give them the current land the Craven Park sits on for next to nothing on a 99 year lease.

I wish the Rovers fans would make their mind up. I thought we were just tennants etc etc? Now all of a sudden weve been given massive handouts yadda yadda yadda. If anything Rovers have had far more help from the council than we have. How about these "East Hull Crusaders" actually start looking a bit closer to home and ask Hudge why Rovers isn't being run as a sustainable business rather than asking for yet more handouts.

It is a multi-purpose stadium the council built to accomodate the citys sporting clubs. If one decides to opt out that's up to them, the council has done it's bit.

I don't see how they could justify the spend, no matter how little.

I wonder how many of you would truely of agreed to FC moving if the KC was built in the heart of East Hull...

We wouldn't. We also wouldn't be begging the council to fund something that we'd promised to do ourselves.

While your club have been very good on the pitch, you are a laughing stock off it.

Wouldn't have been bothered in the slightest so long it was a superb venue (which it is) and it would have been closer to home for me.

Oh dear....are the licences coming up for renewal ? sounds like 10,000 worried fans

True but then dont bleat about it afterwards.



The stadium was built for the whole of the city to use for a variety of events. I fail to see how all of a sudden the fact we pay (yes thats right we have to pay) to use the stadium means the council are giving us something for free.

and that is what makes the HDM article laughable, they do not state that the Council run the stadium (via the SMC) as a revenue generator, I'd love to know what the contribution to the council coffers has been, especially compared to what Rovers have paid for Craven Park.

Didn't Rovers originate in West Hull?



Think you played at 4/5 West Hull locations before a 3 year stint at the Boulevard. Infact, wasn't Rovers formed by a load of Hessle Rd boiler makers?

Yes yes and yes the played where Raynors is now with the famous flag edge touch!
