I BIG BANNER

Keepmoats not too far anyway

There is equal rights we (Hull FC) are there forever so they can irritatate us for as much as they like but when they are back in the (Ill say the 3rd Division) We will still be a top Super League Club playing in a Stadium that we were the first to sign up for. Get over it Mr Duffin and all your Bandwaggoners it is a joint Stadium. The Stadium was build for the use of the people of Hull - During the era of Adam Pearson we enjoyed Groups and RL internationals and Under 21 Football Internationals its seems that we have a no no from down South who is only intrested in Premiership Money that will line his pockets. Irony or what How much is the Jimmy Bullard thing going to cost him. Will Jimmy be doing any community work during his rehabilitation or will he be sat on his butt down South!!

Having considered the aforementioned, i know a lot of you have shouted down MUH, but he's right when he says an awful lot of you need to be in posession of valid facts instead of letting your obvious anti-football bile cloud your judgement.



Let's say for argument's sake, we got the game at the KC, and it's England versus Australia. England turn up, all bullish and bristling with intent, Australia turn up quietly, looking a bit half-ar$ed. By half time Australia are 30-40 points to the good, a capacity crowd are more than a tad cheesed off, and vow never to waste an evening in such a way again.



The simple fact of the matter is RL fills the KC once, maybe twice a year. Football is filling it twice a month. This immediately blows the 'blow to the local economy' argument clean out the water.



One way to demonstrate to the SMC (not Duffen, the SMC) that RL can be a commercially viable activity is to fill the ground this Friday. Will it happen? I think we know the answer.

Fair enough but will it be doing so in October/November 2009 and will the SMC be strapped for cash?

Was it full tonight ????

None of us know the answer to those questions. I suppose a lot depends on whether City stay up or not.



Although sporting events make up a huge slice of stadium revenue, other means of income (conferences etc.) keeps the pot boiling, so to speak.

About 200 short of the maximum allowed capacity.



Your point being?

The stating dates for the 4 nations is the weekend of 24/25 October through to 14th Nov.

That counts out any conflict with Hull Fair week, so WHY couldn't Duffen agree on a date if it's not football related.



Bonfire Night is on a Thursday (Safe)................. but it could be Halloween as that is on a Saturday, Duffen must be having a Halloween fancy dress party and he's already sent the invitations.

Why didn't he say so.........we'd have understood.

My point being I dont know - alright - I watched on Setanta and they said 21000 but I bow to you mate - was not looking for a fight
