    I went tonight, it was okay, but nothing special and it’s not cheap. There was six of us, three not drinking (one a £7.50 kids meal) and it was still over £420. Unlikely to go back, at that money, Westwood and Hearth are better.

    Probably not what you meant, but, talking of minsters, I'd maybe say Beverley Minster.
    I'm aethiest, but that doesnt' stop me being in awe of some absolutely incredible buildings. Beverley Minster is pretty incredible .... and under sold.

    I absolutely love minsters/cathedrals
    Not even about the religious side

    They are just absoultely incredible peices of architecture
    So elegant
    It honestly baffles the mind to how they built these things

    I love koln cathedral and strasbourgs too

    Agreed, I have been a few time though that was several years ago, but was very good then.

    Read The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett to find out how.. it's fictional but historically accurate regarding the process, drive and funding of how they were built in England.

    Just as likely pretending they had the remains of some saint in the cathedral then charging people on a pilgrimage to come in and see it. But they are amazing places.

    The Guildhall, the words 'look up' are really appropriate for this gem, and it's the equal of anything built at its time. :emoticon-0138-think

    Took it as impressing visitors with the area with the best of what we have to offer, and I'm never afraid of getting the wrong end of the stick. :emoticon-0138-think

    Don't worry it was just a bit of thread drift. Always walk down whitefrigate looking up now.

    Wouldn't bother me, I'm from Hull and we often get that end of the stick. :emoticon-0138-think

    New Hull FC owner Andrew Thirkill says it's his full intention to work closely with Hull City with regards to their shared interests in the MKM Stadium.

    The two clubs have shared the city centre venue since it first opened in 2002. But in recent times, the Tigers have been keen to develop the existing site and improve the council-owned stadium, which is showing growing signs of wear and tear more than two decades since it was first used.

    City have been in regular discussions with the council over extending the lease which has 30 years left to run, to enable them to make ongoing improvements. Those conversations remain ongoing, but for Hull FC, their need is a little more pressing with their deal set to expire in 2028.

    Hull FC's former owner, Adam Pearson, spoke about the possibility of moving away from the MKM Stadium if a suitable cost-effective way forward couldn't be reached. But Thirkill says at least for the next decade, the Super League club will remain at the 25,500-seater venue, and continue to work with the Tigers.

    "There’s a new lease coming up for negotiations in 2028. David (Hood) and I have looked at the lease very carefully, Thirkill told a fans' forum. "It’s a reasonable lease at the moment; it’s fine. The leader of the council (Mike Ross) is very pro-Hull FC, and Hull City want to expand those facilities and spend a lot of money, but they want a long lease to do that, which is great, but part of the package must be that Hull FC is accommodated sensibly.

    "I’m confident that will happen. I can't comment on a negotiation that hasn't physically started, but we'll get stuck into it. But I do see the future being at the MKM Stadium, certainly for the medium term. For me, we have to accept that's where we're going to be, certainly for the next ten years.

    "I’ve got to build a relationship with them. I understand from Adam that they’re good people, and we’ll work collectively together to get the best relationship and deal for Hull FC."
