Great interview on Radio Humberside tonight, Burnsy and Swanny talking to Adam Pearson.

Adam is looking at the possibility of finding/building a new ground for Hull FC, wants a 15K stadium to call Hull FC's home as doesn't like sharing a ground, private equity money would be used to fund it. I still think he would like to own City as well but money is the issue. Should be able to listen to the show again on BBC Iplayer / Sounds.

Funny looking back and remembering the RL lot, two of them in particular ( my memory is going but I bet Urika Peece can remember them) going on about the KC would be a white elephant and it should be a 15,000 seat stadium where you could change ends at half time as a bigger stadium would only be needed if Leeds United moved here. These two idiots got a lot 9f time and space on RH and in the HDM spouting their nonsense. One was a fat slob who ran the FC fans forum (with a signature of Hull FC and Leeds United - Pride Of Yorkshire. That disappeared after TWS went down to Div 3.) and the other lived down Glasgow Street. I once contacted RH and asked them to invite them on and ask them about their statements they had given on Sportstalk given the crowds City had and the 20,000 + crowds for football and rugby internationals. I was more or less told that would be too confrontational.

If I win the Euromillions I will build them one. I am sure there are some good sites in East Hull.

The obvious solution is Hull FC ground sharing at a purpose built RL stadium in Hull, with quick access when Castle Street is complete down Roger Millward Way to Preston Road.

 

[City Man]

One rl club is enough for a city this size.

Let them merge.

Gateshead have already done that once.

FC started playing in East Hull so they will be going home. Mind you, Rovers first played in West Hull.

Lots of similar sized cities, and larger ones, manage with none.

Hull played at the rifle barracks down Park st/Londesborough St when they first played in the city.

Think of the worldwide fame & kudos RL brings to Hull though

"Hull F.C., then nicknamed the All Blacks, were one of the initial 22 clubs to form the Northern Union after the acrimonious split from the Rugby Football Union in 1895. The club moved from East Hull to the Hull Athletic Club at the Boulevard in 1895"

So they played no games between 1865 and 1895.

Is that what you're saying? Well, is it?

No. Saying they first played in East Hull. Which they did,

Oh yes and what year was this then?

 

[Barchullona]

Oh yes and what year was this then?

Before they moved t9 the Boulevard from East Hull. They were formed in 1865 and only went to the Boulevard in 1895.

 

[Trumpton Tiger.]

I wonder how much it would hit the Allams in SMC pocket if the FC left before their lease ended?

Not a lot.

 

[Howdentiger2]

There's a stadium going spare at Melton!

It's being filled by a huge Amazon warehouse ( might not be the exact spot )

 

[Trumpton Tiger.]

It would good to hear that Adam confirmed the pitch would be getting re-laid in May/June as Hull FC have a 6 week gap between home games. The pitch is in need of a complete overhaul.

Wonder who's paying for it ?

 

[Howdentiger2]

Wonder who's paying for it ?

We know who it won't be!

 

[City Man]

" they first played in East Hull."

I think you have expressed yourself clumsily and meant to say "Immediately prior to playing at the Boulevard, they played in East Hull for a few years"

Didn't you ?
