you are seriously comparing Bramley Dock with disued land in Hull, you really are silly.

Can you explain why you think it’s silly. There is land along the river that would be suitable. 1, behind macro. 2, west of St Andrews dock. Maybe get some government and local council money as we could, maybe, utilise Lord Line building. Clearly council may object on the grounds of KC Stadium was built for two teams. Access has to be considered but I don’t see why it’s silly to speculate. Unless you know different?

I suppose in distance the men would win.

I dont think the concept of a new stadium is silly, not at all, but comparing Hull FC's ability to build a small stadium to what Everton are doing is, if it were built on St Andrews half the supporters wouldn't be able to get there, too far out of town. We will not leave the KC, AP is posturing, nothing more.

https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... ow-5276448 Trust in AP to do what’s right by the club. Sure he’ll have good contacts in Hull CC, who surely won’t want to lose one of the two major tenants (who currently have the most supporters).

The Allam's are complete, and utter, p**cks. How hard is it, like in the past, to say to the Football League, can we have an away game on these weekends please. The same as we have with the RFL for the pitch relaying in May/June.

Complete and utter shambles

Re: New Stadium (maybe) : Thu Apr 08, 2021 2:00 pm  

For the last 20 years the Superleague fixtures have been announced at least 6 months before the football season starts in August.

These SL fixtures are arranged to avoid clashes with the current football season ending in May.

Then the Allams get involved.

Re: New Stadium (maybe) : Thu Apr 08, 2021 2:18 pm  

Think it will only strengthen APs resolve to get it sorted one way or the other.

Re: New Stadium (maybe) : Thu Apr 08, 2021 3:08 pm  

The rule always used too be that we give way to the football team at the end of their season and they give way to us at the end of ours. Whats so difficult to do they have always looked at our fixtures and asked for away games that weekend just as they have done for Hull Fair. And indeed as we have done with our early season fixtures.

Fact is they simply don't like AP because he's been successful since he left them and he's popular and they are doing everything they can to make it difficult for us. Recently they haven't liked the City fans wanting Adam to buy the Club and to run both teams and the Stadium. And before any City fans start talking about THEIR Stadium it should be remembered that the Stadium wouldn't be there if we hadn't signed up to play there along with City. The only reason the Government allowed the council to spend their gains from the telephone shares on the KCom was because it had to be a shared and community Stadium. However with no community organisations able to afford to use it now and all this going on you would hardly believe it!!

Its a very sad state of affairs and I'm increasingly worried about our future. As I've said before I simply don't see where millions for a new ground is coming from. Up until now we haven't had to play a home game on neutral grounds due to the KCOM being unavailable, a long time ago now but the stadium even hosted both football and rugby in one day in 2007 so that we could be at home in the playoffs and in 2006 we memorably played during Hull Fair with the council and SMC's support.

We can only hope and pray that promotion for City makes them attractive to a buyer, they are now running at a very low cost (about the only positive I can muster for the Allams) and new owners and promotion after a lengthy lockdown would create a boom in City's attendances....but they'll no doubt still want a Premier League sized price to sell and keep playing the pantomime villan

What makes it worse is this all comes at a time when we seem to be getting it together on the field, there's been a few seasons I wouldn't have minded them having to play elsewhere
