    Certainly something happening at the training ground, I saw a picture on Twitter with the gates and fence blacked out so difficult to see what is going on.

    Interesting
    Chris O’Neill knows his estates development onions (and is a decent bloke from my limited involvement with him)
    Hull City Council would like the idea of training coming to them from out of East Riding I’m sure.

    Hmm…

    The area available isn’t big enough as Hull Fair is regarded in Hull as an iconic, legendary landmark as the HDM would have it. Most other clubs don’t have these facilities anywhere near their stadium.

    Even if Hull Fair cleared off it's not big enough for a club with PL ambitions. :emoticon-0125-mmm:

    It would if they also knocked the houses down opposite and closed Walton St. for good. <whistle>

    You should run for the council at the next local election. Screaming Lord Sutch was looking for candidates just like you. :emoticon-0125-mmm:

    But still the idea is discussed as though there was any chance of success. Even if Hull Fair relocated there is not enough room for all that is planned. Then there is the problem of car parking, where to park away coaches…Maybe build some things to bring in year round revenue but the training facilities could be outside the city like most clubs are.

    What about an all year round fun fair, face painting for the kids and stuff? Could even have some goal music every time a new kiddie got their face painting finished.

    It’s part of the flood reduction scheme now, so some of it is basically a big sump

    Even if it was big enough....most of the players would be living west Hull or West of Hull anyway.... and as has been said surely it should be in some leafy exhaust free retreat.

    Leafy exhaust free retreats are a bit pricier mind you.
