    Most definitely. There's an Abondance of misinformation on here. Rumour has it Leicester are changing to Red kits ?

    With their 12 point penalty, looks like we'll be playing Sheffield Wensleydale in the 21-22 season. Unless we're relegated again.

    Why would home fans need a train from
    I'm not sure the majority of City fans need to get a train to the KC unless you mean catch a train to away gamez from the KC?

    Plenty of fans still catch the train, it doesn't have to be a whole express train

    It would make more sense to leave from Paragon Station.

    Trains used to run between Paragon Station and Boothferry Park Halt, when I was a lad.

    I loved that train. But I dont think a train from Paragon and KC would be used so much.

    As I referred to travelling hordes I would have thought it was obvious I was referring to them putting on trains for our fans going away before they made it easier for away fans to come here and make it seem like a home game for the opposition.
    I didn't say fans don't catch the train. I said the days of the football special were long gone. And they certainly weren't express trains.

    Never used it after J was old enough to drink. You passed by too many pubs.

    Are you referring to Cheshire or to Red Leicester?

    I don’t think the council would sell the stadium but I’m sure they’d do a joint venture thing with a new owner like the Fruit Market is with Wykeland and Beal. I’m sure they would have done the same with the Allams too if they weren’t such ****ers.

    And therein layeth the problem.

    The Allams do not appear to be team players so would have most likely either refused to a joint venture or would have tried to con their way to more money by stuffing too many conditions in.

    The end result would have been the same.

    The stumbling block is always going to be Hull FC. The stadium was more about saving them and many on the council thought FC represent the rugby town of Hull and they are world famous.

    You've clearly totally missed my point of the advantage of a station at the KC or are just arguing for the sake of it. Home fans wouldn't use a stadium station so I don't understand your point.

    You totally missed my point in the original post. Read it again.

    The stadium wouldn’t go for more than £15m, but a very long lease would be far easier to sort and I’m sure the Council would love to renegotiate the lease.

    Building a stadium station less than a mile and a half from Paragon isn’t remotely viable, or necessary.

    I was referring to our hordes travelling away. There may be games when a whole coach could be needed.
