I agree it propagates a small minded attitude which you regularly see in the inter sport pulling apart !!
You see it at lots of other times- not just supporting underachieving RL clubs. Like voting for **** councillors or being an armchair slob supporting a Top 4 club from a city with which you have no connection.
Still think it should have been a combined one with ice arena. If the ice arena does get built it will be in competition for events !!
See I've never got the whole thing about people make a City. I've lived in numerous Cities and made great friends in them. I've worked in many others including abroad and made great friends and loved the people in them all. I've always thought wherever you are if you are decent person you will meet good people. The cricket club, the guys I work with etc.. are great in Manchester and they where in Hull. I think that whole thing is devoid, the reason I and many thousands relocate to other Cities is never based on the people. I love Hull, but it is has its faults. Since CoC it's like anyone who criticise the place or has honest feedback is jumped on. You can objectively criticise a place without it meaning you hate somewhere.
As a paying customer? Just wondering really Some people who said it should have been bigger don’t seem to have actually been to any events there My opinion is it seems about right size. There doesn’t seem to have been that many nights sold out has there?
Agreed that Hull like everywhere has its share of utter ****s. What rankles is when people dismiss the place out of hand, or focus on the negatives when those same people seem only to want to focus on the positives of other cities. Case in point being London: nearly always gets fawningly +ve gushing Press when it's overpriced, dangerous, unfriendly, greedy and self-regarding. We have a long way to go before we get more truthful and honest opinions in the media,
Don't get me wrong, for what it is, it's a fantastic building. I just think we as a city should have aimed higher
I always think the same about the stadium. We could of had 30 k there no problem. It was built to bring better things to Hull.
Geraghty was the cause of a lot of the bad blood that flowed and eventually poisoned the Allam's reign at City resulting from that initial meeting. HCC and HCFC have been at odds ever since.
Someone on here said that Geriatric Terry was no longer on the council....Like hell. Whilst the geezer may have done some use about 30 years ago, the only way he'll leave is in a wooden overcoat...
