Yeah but the East Riding needs Hull. Imagine an East Riding without it? The reason that greater metropolitan stuff tends to work is that those on the outskirts has a centre to gravitate towards - and a **** hole to dump their unwanted on.... We should co-operate, not compete, and always with an...

It also requires a change of attitude from the owner. Not unreasonable for supporters to want to see this, least of all when it comes to the issue of the name 'Tigers'. Surely you can't disagree?

Yeah, I agree 100%, but lets be realistic. This can happen with either a new owner, or a new attitude from the current owner (which isn't likely).

I noticed Nick Swift from Ten foot city magazine mention on more than one occasion how much the city put into both those bids, but when pressed as to how much it cost he always disappeared. Meanwhile they closed the addiction clinic on Spring Bank (one example of many we could all cite) - the...

Changing the score board is a clear provocation to his most loyal customers. As I said, I saw West Stand empty - they were the only people interested in having Tigers on the score board. Just because we disagree on the city of culture bid etc plan for the city doesn't mean we have to...

No, I'm sorry, but it is very much a council, with the hand of a willing local BBC, initiative. I am not accepting that.

EXACTLY. The council should just deliver the basics - health, housing, education, is a good start. Provide a civilised society's safety net. It is true that mental health and addiction services have been greatly diminished recently, for instance... Culture and the rest will thrive IF the council...

Oh the irony.

I noticed the score board on Saturday said 'Tigers : HUDD'. That was a low. I also noticed West Stand half empty.

Profit, comes from the exploitation of labour. The people he employed were paid less than they were worth - if you don't earn more than your job, overall, your job goes. We all know that. Then there is the exploitation of raw materials, which are externalities the true cost of which is never put...

Don't know, but let's be clear that it is obvious that the only reason Assem Allam put the £40 million (or whatever that initial investment was) into Hul City, was because he thought he would get the stadium etc for nothing. The bloke has only ever been out for himself and his family. The...

Hence it being far more difficult, as I did say... I would like to know how much time and money that isn't 'free/extra money' has been spent on city of culture bid etc. If it turned out it was very little of the council's time and effort, then fair enough. I strongly suspect that isn't the...

incidentally, one contributing factor to Gary, Indian's decline was how boundary rules, and the magnifying effect those boundaries had on funding, white flight and various other social factors.

I absolutely get what you are saying re new sources of funding. Fine. But building St Stephens is piss easy, compared to creating a thriving city centre. Why is the city centre dead? See the creation of Princes Quay/St Stephens etc. The opportunity cost of doing the wrong stuff now, a period...

Those that turned talksport on following my last post, and heard the very much respected David Conn echo my sentiments might think 'Oh this hudd25 isn't a total knob after all'. He said various things - one, that the additional up to 15 million the fa are putting in is going to come out of...
