Over many years I've come to not trust any football club owner, ours especially. Start with that viewpoint and you won't be disappointed if they turn out to be a wrong 'un. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Besides the fact that as you say it's almost certain hull cc won't do it, it's just the wrong place full stop imo and is it even big enough to house everything that you'd want from top facilities? Zero room for expansion, no real privacy, not the nicest part of the city to bring potential players into etc.... just feels like it's the wrong place
It should be somewhere isolated and out of the way. Walton Street carpark is not ideal location for a training ground.
Plus the kid who is their star player, Jack Moylan, has been sold to Lincoln City. So the ability to tap their talent seems to be closed to Acun, on this occasion at least.
You would hope they have a plan B in mind. Even not knowing the ins and outs of the council I would hope they would hedge their bets by scoping out somewhere else just in case
Leicester have a nine hole golf course on their training ground, we'll be having a windmill and castle on our 'golf course', crazy! The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Its not the best idea its just probably what they've scoped out as "accessible" land. Probably unaware at the time how stubborn the council is
It's not, the cost is in developing the site, there's cheap land available all over the place (in fact, when most of the land you need is basically just fields, it opens up loads of opportunities for sites where you wouldn't normally get planning).
Much better to have it somewhere west of Hull , there must be plenty of land out that way that's suitable
I’m not keen on owners pretending to be one of us, shades of Duffen, gladhanding the fans at away games, Acun having the Botanic lot sucking his dick at every opportunity whilst ignoring every other City pub in Hull, it will end in tears like it always does. If we don’t go up this or next season, I can see him ****ing off, selling us to another chancer with a bit of cash.
It makes sense to develop a training ground and academy on the same site, and it makes sense to develop the stadium area with more community stuff etc. Somewhere along the line, these two good ideas have been mixed into a single combined project and I don't think that's a good idea at all.
iF i were a Shels fan I would be perplexed over what has just happened ... all fanfare five months ago, promises of monies, promises of Europe, a press conference at the AVIVA Stadium no less to explain the bright future. As a Tigers fan, should I be getting similar vibes. Pursued us for ages and finally landed what he wanted. Pursued three Irish clubs and finally landed what he wanted. It all seems a bit capricious.
