Yes it would be criticized for being a closed shop - the elite pulling up the drawbridge - yet in RL it's a positive move?!
I’ve just been reading the proposals, sold their soul to the Yanks, no relegation, no magic weekend, ( I went on one for sons stag do at Newcastle, was great until I got in the stadium) more ****ing about with fixtures, might be 12 teams, might be 14, 10, they have no idea and the clubs are supposed to vote on it, joke run sport.
Stand by for someone defending the HDM and saying if ou don’t like it don’t read it. What impression does it give to outsiders! Hull is a rugby league hotbed where no one cares about football. They have had articles about the build up to a Grand Final where no Hull teams are involved. Will they be dong that for the Cup Final? Loads of stuff about the RL World Cup. Nothing about the football one. The lead article the other night was about FC’s 2006 Grand Final team. Which lost. Yesterday it was FC’s 20 most memorable games at the MKM since it opened.
Either way, I think the HDM do a sterling job amongst much unfair criticism, similarly David Burns and Peter Swan are often singled out for their ad-libbing regarding pies, I love pies, can’t see the issue.
So you can’t see an issue when the only team with a game this week gets one mention, which has nothing to do with this weeks’s game, and there are 6 times as many articles about rugby league, a lot of the articles having no connection to Hull or current goings on? The HDM are like a PR firm for rugby league. Always happy to jump on any negativity regarding City though. The HDM does nothing to promote City, Acun should tell them to **** off and get City news out via his own means.
To be fair I rarely read it,I get most of my City fix on here, but I’m sure they put plenty of positive stuff in there. I normally just peruse it for the RL info.
One of our local hero's was playing for England at Wembley on Monday night but they managed to miss that. Another future one scored for his country last night and they missed that too. And of course, we'd all struggle to recall 20 memorable games involving Hull City since our move to the new stadium, wouldn't we?
You don’t read it but you are sure they put plenty of positive stuff on. They are doing nothing to generate interest in City’s game and maybe get people to go but there are articles on what the fixtures may be for the next Magic Weekend months away, games not involving the Hull clubs, games from 16 years ago…The rag is a joke. Though that is down to Reach who someone seems to have brainwashed into the rugby town BS.
Hard to believe some people regard Hull folk as an insular lot, isn’t it? You get the impression that a successful football team bringing the city to nationwide attention is the last thing some people want. They would rather have rugby’s big fish in a little puddle unknown outside the M62 corridor.
The way the circulation figures are plummeting whilst the price goes up, I would imagine some of the 'journalists' will be selling it soon.
What's this tripe I hear about a fundamental and indepth investigation by the RL suits which suggests that the top teams be split into a A group and a B group. Those in the top A group can never ever be relegated from the duper league, even if they finish rock bottom. RL making an arse and a laughing stock of itself yet again... Ps. I hope Fc and Revers are in the A group.
Owning your own ground and not being subsidised by a football club would see a few clubs being bounced out if that was a requirement for Category A.
