The land the club have earmarked at the stadium is currently unused, because the all weather pitches get vandalised on a regular basis. At the moment it is just a big fenced off area, employing no-one. But it is council owned. The Bonus Arena, run by the charitable organisation, Tigers Trust, is well used. I played football there before the Sunderland game against a team from Richmond, every pitch was in use, as it is on a regular basis and the place was packed. It is struggling a bit for funding because 1. the increase in energy costs and 2. The Allams are no longer there to keep subsidising it. I'd imagine an influx of cash into that building wouldn't go amiss either. The land is there but is there a will and desire on both sides to develop it? because it hasn't been for the past 20 years
The Airco and the land with the pitches on, are already part of the lease that the SMC has, they can use it as they see fit.
Code: int main() { int numQuestions; std::cout << "Enter the number of times the west park area has been brought up for development: "; std::cin >> numtimes; int numCorrect; std::cout << "Enter the number of times any development happened: "; std::cin >> numtimes; double probability = (double) numCorrect / numtimes; std::cout << "Probability of development happening: " << (1 - probability) * 100 << "%" << std::endl; return 0; }
And if you wondered why it wasn't built on with the rest of Walton St... The problem lay in the fact that all of the sewage from the new district ran into an old open agricultural drain running parallel along the eastern side of Walton Street that had not been designed to handle human effluent. From the drain, the sewage flowed into a brick pond which became a vast cesspool. At the time, the whole area was peppered with brick ponds created to quarry valuable clay used to make the bricks for all of the new housing. Together with its surviving pig farms, diaries and cow sheds, Beetonville became infamous for its toxic mix of animal manure and human sewage although that did not stop Beeton himself moving there to live, initially in a house just off Walton Street called Willow Glen and later at his own purpose-built self-named Beetonville Hall off Albert Avenue. Apart from not being in his ownership, the presence of the drain and the brick pond perhaps partly explains why Beeton did not attempt to build houses on the eastern side of Walton Street where Hull Fair is based today. https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/new...r-who-nearly-stopped-6019851#comments-wrapper
That is what Adam Pearson thought. There is also a 'change of use' issue to contend with, again dependent on the council.
If British Rail (or whatever their name is now) are still being funny about a train platform, I reckon the Council should consider either extending the existing railway in West Park, or sounding out Mally Welburn to see if he'd lend them the use of his.
When in opposition Simone Butterworth claimed the stadium would be a white elephant, when she was council leader she officially opened it! The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Not against pushing further. But there are some nice houses down Albert ave. Once the area becomes gentrified off the back of this, they could sell for good money. My property portfolio manager has been suitably notified.
Those clowns Karl Hutchinson, who ran the FC fans website (signature “ Hull FC and Leeds United - Pride Of Yorkshire”and Jim Gardner said the same.Only needed to be 15,000 as that was big enough for FC and the only time there would be a crowd that big for a football match would be if Leeds played there. Those two were constantly quoted on RH and in HDM. They wanted it to be all standing. Because idiots like that were listened to at the many more meetings held with FC fans compared to City ones with their nonsense about swapping ends that we ended up with a concourse that couldn’t be separated to accommodate different amounts of away fans like other grounds meaning number of seats for home fans was lost.
