It actually predates that, playing on the Endseigh Ground and the teams in question joined with others to become City and Rovers. It's why the East and West nonsense makes me laugh, as both clubs were born in the North of the City, as was the wealth that initiated Hull as a whole originally.
But without the East and west it wouldn't be as much fun Besides, it's uplifting to have a go at the unwashed
This has been going in the background for a while Barch, nice that it's close to happening. The Craven Streat at the end of the ground has been a massive success and now other teams are looking at the same thing.
Not aware of the history of this but it looks to me like they're having to buy it a stand at a time! Queer carry-on that.
I'd be surprised if they didn't. There's no reason why City would agree to the debt being written off. After all it means they could occupy the MKM virtually rent free for the next 20 years if they wanted to. If I remember correctly, not always guaranteed, City have the same rental agreement as Hull FC. City's average attendance has been higher which is why we pay more rent. For the SMC to make a profit City would have to pay between £3 and £5 million a year. If Hull FC went to Craven Park it would be closer to £5 million that £3 million.
Looks like Arvo's got his mate on board now. From HDM: Hull City have appointed Peter van der Veen to Shota Arveladze’s coaching staff, after the former Ajax coach was granted a work permit and will become the club’s new assistant head coach.
That sounds a good idea and hopefully some will be ex long track speed skaters with thighs like an elephant and the speed of thoroughbred race horses.
