In the Ask Adam interview a while back, AP mentioned something about developments at the Chamberlain Road site. Anyone know anything about this?

I hope it's true and not alias if bollacks

I'd be happy either way. I love the KC, but our own ground would be great too. Win-win.

Yes, I've spoken to him about it as I live around there. They have the land fronting Chamberlain Road freehold to put in mini pitches with Barratt having the land at the back (towards the old tennis courts) for housing. From what I can gather Hull FC will be kind of custodians of the front land for amateur rugby, maybe with a plan in the future for further development uses of it.

Thanks for the info bud.

I know years ago the brooklands site was earmarked for a possible training ground. I used to work on Chamberlain Road and thought it would be great to go and watch them train in my lunch hour!

How do you think it would be financed as Pearson does have money but not enough to build a ground

Same way saints have financed theirs at a guess but it won't happen anyway

You never know, if it's true about the Birdseye sight! Then who knows, why else buy it

The majority of the saints funding (or at least the start up funding) came from the sale of KR, so probably not quite the same

They did get some but pretty sure they took on some hefty finance also

Maybe he wants to build houses? I'd love to be wrong but I can't see it being true
