Was just going to say, if this is it... please log in to view this image Then Beeton street was near Corn Mill Hotel, according to Paul Gibson. On the north side of the Holderness Road – opposite the former (and now derelict) Corn Mill Hotel – is a street that now appears to have no name. This was originally Beeton Street, laid out in the early 1850s, but not built upon until the 1860s. http://www.paul-gibson.com/pubs-and-breweries/lost-pubs-of-hull-s.php Which ties in to your Abbey Street edit. EDIT: And Chazz beat me to it. I was always taught to show my workings out though...
St Columba as was bombed in the war, and rebuilt set back from the road, as the frontage was said to be needed for a proposed road widening scheme. It's still grass in front of it.
Hull United AFC find new home at KC Lightstream Stadium Hull Kingston Rovers and Hull United AFC have announced plans for the local football side to play their home games at the KC Lightstream Stadium with immediate effect. The amateur club, which currently plays in the Northern Counties East League Division One, has agreed a partnership with the Robins that will see them relocate to east Hull after moving out of their former ground at Dene Park. Hull United AFC, also known as The Citizens, will play their first match at their new home against Bottesford Town on Tuesday, 10th November, kick-off 7.45pm. Chairman Ian Ashbee, who runs the club alongside manager and former Hull City teammate Curtis Woodhouse, said: “This is an exciting move for us and we are grateful to everybody at Hull Kingston Rovers for their kind support. “The KC Lightstream Stadium is a fantastic ground and having those kind of facilities available to us will be a real boost. I understand that Rovers have had a good record on their own pitch this season and I’m sure our players would love the same. “The league have given us their approval and we’re confident this move will help us to take the club to the next level moving forwards. “However, it’s also positive news for grassroots football in the city and the wider community and I’d like to thank Rovers for their generosity and understanding.” Hull Kingston Rovers CEO Mike Smith said: “The problems United have had at their former ground have been well documented and we are delighted to be in a position to offer our support. “We are two like-minded community clubs who want what’s best for supporters in a proud sporting city and we felt it was important to provide them with a home here at the KC Lightstream Stadium. “We’ve been in discussions with Ian and Curtis over the past few days and their commitment in taking Hull United forward really shone through. As a professional club, albeit in a different sport, we felt it was only right to help. “The knock on effect for ourselves will be very minimal except for keeping our ground staff even busier over the coming weeks, but there will be no adverse effect on the pitch or training schedules for Chris Chester’s side during pre-season. “We look forward to working alongside Hull United AFC in the coming weeks and months and wish them all the best on the pitch.” Further details regarding Hull United AFC fixtures at the KC Lightstream Stadium will be released by both clubs over the coming weeks. http://www.hullkr.co.uk/on-the-pitc...d-afc-find-new-home-at-kc-lightstream-stadium
I bet they will do well playing at Rovers, income wise http://www.hullkr.co.uk/on-the-pitc...d-afc-find-new-home-at-kc-lightstream-stadium
Nowt. It's at the heart of their constitution and their reason d'etre. Imagine the teeth gnashing and wailing if they go back on their word.
While the circumstances of it happening are a bit doubtful, the outcome is a big step forward for a growing non league outfit. The facilities now available probably outstrip NFU's.
It was a ridiculous decision. How could they say that and live up to it. What would happen if they got into the Premier League?
It would be much easier to sustain in the Premier League surely as the gate receipts are a much smaller percentage of the income with the TV money the clubs get. Even more so with the new TV deal. With a packed to the rafters stadium they's also still make a fair chunk on match day sales too. That said I can't see them sticking with it.
It's not so much whether they can sustain it financially it's more about how they would give away the tickets. If the tickets were free everybody would want one. Then there would be black market sales.
Wouldn't be that difficult technically. You have automatic gates at many grounds now so you just replace the bar code scanner with a finger print reader. Register as an official support and give your finger print. Then when you get told you've been allocated a ticket you just turn up at the ground and scan your finger (or retina). I'm full of daft ideas me.
It's stipulated by the league. Think the minimum for this league is £4 or £5 but it's higher in the division above. Not sure if leagues above the NCEL have minimum prices. Seems a daft rule to me.
It was in breach of NCEL rules and they've been told they can no longer let people in free, I believe it's going to be £5 adults/£2 concessions.
It was free to go to QPR v City U21s but if they had charged £5 I don't think many would have been put off. I'm all for "affordable prices" but free entry is silly. I'm not sure whether there's a lot of extra red tape they would have to comply with if they charge. I would assume there would be.
With the increase in finger amputations seen of late, to gain access in to mobile telephones and secure rooms, I am led to believe that every human being on earth has a unique anal passage. Clearly an anus cannot be removed and used for fraudulent entry into a football game, so on the barrier at Hull Untied, an anal probe could be used to identify each fan and allow them entry. Wet wipes, antibacterial lotion and a lubricant could be provided to each 'member' to assist with quick entry into the ground. Hull Untied would also be renown for being at the forefront of anal identification technology. I believe this approach would also increase numbers of homosexual support, in keeping with FA directives for increasing fan diversity, as the pleasure of entering the ground would entice them to sign up to watch amateur football players coached by a manager with an expensive watch.
