dont let it bother you in the slightest

This is just "bully boy" negotiation (or lack of it) from City's new owners.



Unfortunately you get this sort of thing from aggressively "commercial" new owners - just think of people like Robert Maxwell and Mohammed Al-Fayed.



The council should call their bluff I reckon.

Are you really going to continue going on about a loan from HCC? Get it into that head of yours, Rovers and partners are going to have to PAY BACK the money we have borrowed.



This city voted these councillors in, if they decide to sell the community stadium why should they hand you cash to build a new stadium? it wasnt them that built it in the first place and you agreed to move from the Boulevard. Nobody elses fault is it? (Your logic not mine).



We refused to use the stadium just as much as your fans would refuse to move to Melton. We are an East Hull team and should not be expected to move to a West Hull home. The council knew we would refuse but had to be seen to offer the oportunity even though it would have made it very difficult given the rules about playing a match the night before a football game.



Basically if you were to accept a new 20k stadium from the council they would have to at least offer us a similar deal. If it were to be built at say Costello do you honestly think they could again offer us use of the stadium given East Hull has little enough as it is?

One look at your clubs recent history shows that I would rather the council invested in Icelandic banks again. You CAN'T AFFORD to pay it back until you average 10k attendances at least.





We were given assurances (and a pretty lengthy lease) when we moved, if we were adversely affected by any sale I'd expect us to be compensated. Also, I never mentioned anything about a new stadium, thanks.





I agree.





Firstly, if it was worked into the deal that the Allams paid for the stadium there'd be feck all you could do.

Secondly, if you offered me shares in a company you'd invested in and i'd refused, you then went on to sell that investment to move elsewhere would you offer me anything? No.

I doubt it will happen either tbh but if it did then it would create some uncertainty for us.

I infact would like nothing more than for you guys to move into a purpose built stadium. The Boulevard was a vibrant, noisy place to visit, players hated being there especially wingers who had more than their fair share of abuse. With this kind of atmosphere we could get the real derby feeling back into the game instead of this ladedar football stadium malarky that has no atmosphere and no heart.



Tell you what I bet your players today wouldn't have dared not perform had they had to endure the abuse your threpenny stand would have given them!

This is never going to happen, and even as a bluff to the council it's a pretty poor one.

With the council leadership about to change soon this is a final tilt at trying to force a decision his way. Even if he raises the money, gets planning permission and gets it built how does he get out of the user agreement. He is tied to that for the remainder of the twenty five year lease whatever he does.



I can see City fans being really pleased with a move miles away, Melton Tigers anyone ............lol

All bluff from a family that have a history of liking their name in the papers, they do get a bit carried away with their importance to the city, rich or not they dont have that sort of clout

As has already been pointed out, the KC cost £46m 10 years ago. I don't like the sound of a £60m sports village and 40K stadium. Cheap plastic seats and crap facilities, or a huge overspend. Either way its not a good idea.



Just an excuse for them to walk round a field looking important.

bang on the money, they love their photo in the paper dont they!!!

he will be offering his services as new emperor of Egypt next

Not going to happen. The cost would be prohibitive and would face massive objections from residents.



That the council owns the KC gives peace of mind to fans of both Hull FC and Hull City.



Can you imagine how much worse City's recent financial mess would have been if they had owned the KC? Far, far, far worse.
