Fantastic, well done you. So you still posted that the Stadium only happened due to Duffen

Did I say that ? Where?

All very interesting stuff and mostly correct in my book. HOWEVER you ARE totally and utterly wrong when you say it would have been built if only City played there! Having been part of the team that drew up the tenancy agreement for the Stadium and made the presentations to the Government when the local authority was asking the gov for permission to spend the £43m on the Stadium (As you have to do with Capital expenditure fro LA reserves), I can assure you the building of the KC was dependant on having 'At least 2 of the local proffessional teams as tenants'. Under law an authority cannot build a stadium for one club it is not legal or ethical.

Look at the Council minutes if you want confirmation of this in fact the then Leader of the Council Pat Doyle had to assure the full council that it would be used by at least 2 clubs (Rovers turned the chance down) before the project was voted on!

Without both hull Fc and Hull City signing up to play there it would not have been built!

For me as I have said on many occassions before all I want to know is how can Wigan give a concrete promise that a game can be played and City cannot! Thats the only Question for me! Football first me thinks!

I am only going on what I was told by these councillors , but I will not say you are wrong, if it is the case that you have seen coucil minutes to the contrary.

Wilf has already owned you all ways up on this one. I just thought I'd have a little gloat as well.

The fact is that 2 clubs had to be involved or there would have been no stadium. City would not have got the KC on their own, it simply would not have been built.

For someone who claims to be both an RL and soccer fan it's rather clear to see where your loyalties actually lie. I'm beginning to think that you're just another poorly-disguised Tiggers troll...

Not a Tigger or Tiger's troll and I am loyal to both clubs . As i have said in an earlier post I have been going to FC regularly since 1975 , can remember the dugouts on the 3d stand side about that time , the embarrassment against Bramley when we had no clean shirts to change into at HT so the game was abandoned . There have been times when City have been at home and I have been to watch FC , Wigan in the CH cup in 2000 when city played Rochdale is one. Me and my wife went to Perpignan so watch FC in july '07 ( a long way and alot of money for a troll ) . So please dont accuse me of something I am not .

Funny how City only played at home once on a saturday between 1 Sept & 30 Nov isnt it.

Does not mean it will be the same in 2009 .
