I like the way some people view this as building a stadium for FC “It's also hoped that a smaller stadium with a capacity of around 12,000 could be built within the grounds to provide a unique venue for the city to host national and local sporting events, while also providing a potential home for Hull FC should they wish to relocate as well as a venue for City's Under-21s to play.” Should they wish to relocate to a potential home is not Pearson has agreed to moving out of the MKM. Will FC pay for maintenance of the smaller stadium, stewarding etc? Will they pay for marking out of the pitch etc if they wanted the MKM for a match where they were expecting more than the smaller stadium would hold? 15,000. That is the figure FC fans wanted the KC to be as they said it was big enough for FC and Leeds supporting editor of their website Karl Thompson, who was given too much space in the local media to air his views on the new stadium said the only time a larger stadium would be needed for football would be if Leeds United moved there. The views of rugby fans on the lay out led to the problems with segregation which wouldn’t have happened if it had been designed with capacity football crowds in mind.
To attract bigger crowds, do you not have to be successful (win once in a while) ... Super League is on its arse.... You have your big 2 and the odd time a big 2 plus one, they attract the best players etc etc.. the rest are just mid table mediocrity with one relegation place, usually the team that came up from the conference last season.
It was the point I was making Ern' but without the second and third and fourth tier and beyond.... St Helens average crowd is 11,181, Wigan 12,278, Hull FC 10,763... Warrington 8,763, Leeds, 12,940, Castleford 7,542, Wakefield 4,613, Catalan, 8,063, Huddersfield 5,144....etc etc,,, if out wasn't for Sky money it would die,. the contact to the end of 2023 was down £14 million on the previous season... https://inews.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/super-league-rugby-sky-sports-tv-rights-deal-finances-978864
it was 'LUFC and Fc forever' Karl Hutchinson. The disrespect shown to Hull City as a club and it's supporters, not to mention our future prospects at that time was disgraceful. He actually said ,and the HDM printed it, that 'Hull City will, never, ever, get to the First Division/Premier League'
Yes, Karl Hutchinson. Whose signature on the website was “Hull FC and Leeds united Pride of Yorkshire” Always supported by that eejit Jim Gardner who lived on Glasgow Street.
