Always going to be a problem as we share it with a rugby club whose survival was uppermost in the minds of Pat Doyle and others when it was built. They know that without City it is not viable. If some billionaire bought City and built us a new stadium the MKM wouldn't survive for more than a couple of years.
[/QUOTE] Great post! It's time for stays sways to stop cutting their nose of to spite their face. If the last 18months has shown us anything, it's that the unthinkable can happen..... Go watch the team you support, go enjoy time with friends on a Saturday/Tuesday or whatever day the game is and just forget about everything that happens off the pitch
I heard his rant on Radio5. The infamous "no, no, no, nobody tells me how to run my business". That did not sound like a man who had made a fortune, an astute businessman. More a man whose health was not what it was.
I do think something will eventually happen with the stadia in Hull. RL as a sport is in a financial mess again and something has to give. Both FC and HKR have been up for sale for as long as City, but that escapes the publics attention. They too have no takers and no interest. No-one ever mentions it. No Turks on the horizen for them or even rumours fed out by the clubs to claim there are. It would make financial sense for FC and Rovers to either merge or at least ground share and for HCC to put the KC/MKM stadium up for sale. We might get some movement on the sale of all three clubs then.
Perfect solution all round, but our council and rugby clubs aren't forward thinking enough for it to even be considered.
I don't need to clutch at any thing. I've got my seat for this season, ticket for Saturday and next Tuesday already and I've cashed my loyalty points in towards a corporate table for the Derby game as a treat to my family. I'm looking forward to my football again after such a long absence because I have missed it and it is a big part of my life. I don't have to find excuses or dig out quotes from old men made 10 years ago as to explain why I don't go. I couldn't care less who owes the club or what they say/have said in the past. Hull City is my club and will be until the day I die.
I couldn't agree more, but the deep set rivalry between FC and KR will probably always reject such an idea. Which reminds me. Even Assem himself said a merge between the two rugby clubs would be a good idea, but even he said that he knew that would never happen.
It's still love my club too you know and will till the day I die. Oh and ffs, do I really have to say it again I don't need excuses for not going, I have reasons.
How could they share? Fans couldn't manage the long, long journey, up to an hour as one of them said the other day to the other side of the city. Unless there is some bit of land spare in the city centre to build a new stadium. Don't know how City fans in East Hull manage to make the long, gruelling journey into West Hull. Not to mention the one who make it to City from 100 and 200 miles away.
I couldn't care less if you or kemps go or not, it's his loss, not mine. I do have difficulty understanding how they can stay away based on some very flimsy excuses, which people are entitled too, from something they care so deeply about. By caring I mean someone who spends every day on the fans forum site and posts frequently about the club he cannot be arsed to go and support at the turnstiles. That's all. Nothing personal.
Assem Allam also said he’d give the club away for free if the FA didn’t accept his name-change proposal. He’s full of ****.
Just as an aside, but kind of on topic, I once heard a York City fan being interviewed on the radio. He was asked for his opinion on a proposed ground move to Monks Cross. He said "No bloody way, I'm going all that way". Monks Cross is about ten minutes away from anywhere in York
I don't suppose you'd like to talk about the fact, they took away consessions from the the disabled community, even though those enclosures are few and far between, so that extra revenue would have been a drop in the ocean?
Allam had no problem giving away hundreds of tickets to numerous disabled groups,FACT. The scheme was being abused,that's also FACT.It's typical of life that minorities can spoil things for the majority and in this case it absolutely happened.
