Fash offers more IMO.



I'd like to see Staverley get a go there in pre season, use to play halfback so has good hands.

Yea, I can see where you’re coming from. Never thought of it in that way!

Think we will see Fash more at 13 next season given the props we've signed.

Not a rumour, but I’d take Gaz Widdop on a 1 year deal to add some extra experience and depth.

Retired. Not for me I'm sure the three fullbacks we got are enough

No way, been awful last 2 years, would block the way of younger players too. If we use any cap should be on a centre or backrower.

Definitely wouldn't touch Widdop, he was pretty poor at Warrington and not any better at Cas in a side that you'd have expected to see him be one of the big performers.

Kept the better ones.....rubbish



Still alot of dross in the squad



And nowt will change whilst they're here



We're basically pinning our hopes on the nrl players been great signings

Poor Eeyore life must be difficult.

Jeez we have some moaners on here. For me Smith has started the long road back positively. Yes there's still a way to go. But next year's squad looks so much better. Rome wasn't built in a day.

*Not signing rumour*



I've heard that we may be getting out own stadium soon. When I say soon, about 2 years away from confirmation.



Whether that's a new one paid by AP and other future investors...or a smaller council built stadium, I don't know.



AP has said 'if I can get us through the next 6 months, things look really good going forward'



Obvs we know that is down to the COVID loan repayments.

He also said negotiations for renewing the lease at the MKM stadium would start in about a year and take about a year to sort out. So is this just a rumour, try to get the price down further on the 'rent' or is it viable?



Just a thought after hearing some whispers about it

The MKM is a great facility, as AP alluded to, it was chosen to host the Grand Final during COVID due to this. However as most Hull fans would agree I would love nothing more then for us to have a place to call our own.



It just poses so many hard questions to answer, where would it be? who would pay for it? AP seems to think our relationship with SMC is the strongest its been, so would suspect a new deal at the MKM is the odds on favourite.



Id love the rumour to be true, however I feel like the MKM will be our home for quite some time.

Hope you are right but I can’t see it.



Fingers crossed.

I guess it's down to the length of the lease , If AP negotiates say a 10 year lease ,Then that would quash any rumour of us moving out the MKM .

I also would love to have our own stadium .

I always thought the old Birds Eye site would be best, with a similar size stadium to the one at Donny but where’s the tens of millions to come from?

It’s a nice pipe dream.

Yeah this wont happen. It would be nice, but unless someone like an IKEA, Tesco etc. front up millions to incorporate it into some kind of retail park as well, then this isn't going to happen

Any whispers on who the outside back could be? Heard Lyne mentioned but hopefully not.

Can't see it

Didn’t Acun Ilicali’s plans for expansion on the Fairground incudes an 11,000 seater stadium. Could well be the rumours you’ve heard are about this. I know this was done to death earlier on here but if it could be stretched to 14,000 capacity, it would be viable.

I think AP had a land survey done on the old Birdseye site to see whether it was viable to build a stadium on it . Never heard much more about it .

I know for a fact that an electrical contractor was brought on to quote for a potential stadium but I heard it was Costello. This was a few years ago now

Get a quote from an electrical contractor but no other trade - seems very odd

IRRC, the old Birds eye site was only allowed to be sold on for non residential projects, hence why no new houses have been built on it, otherwise the land would have been snapped up years ago

We are currently struggling to afford a prefabricated building at the University, so I would take all this with a very large pinch of salt, its great to speculate and get hopes up but we've been relocating to Kingswood, Birds Eye and Costello over the years and its all been pie in the sky and I guess wishful thinking. There is absolutely nothing doing the rounds at the club about a new stadium and with the exception of one of Adams wild speculations a few years ago they never have been. Quite frankly we currently play in the best stadium in the game in the Northern Hemisphere and all our efforts are as Pearson says, going into trying to fill it and renegotiating the lease.

Who from?
