I'm not in the slightest bit touchy, thanks for your concern.



However, your constant avoidance of my questions coupled with your deliberately inflammatory language leads me to believe that you are simply trolling and looking to start an argument. If you carry on in that vein you can take a short break from posting on here.

The KC is 'big enough' for us and the select few that actually enjoy their chosen sport......Not the hoolies, bandwagoners and Stone Island models that are wanting extra seating.......just in case the ever changing (ie foreigners......ask Deano what he thinks

) Hull City actually make their 'miracle stint' in the premiership last longer than the expected 1 year.

Do you expect several million people to travel from the southern hemisphere to see the game in person?

It's good news for the city as a whole to be able to stage this sort of event, while not knowing the reasons for the SMC not wanting to play ball i can't comment. But Duffen should make the reasons known, he is after all the head of a company running the facility on behalf of the council. If he thinks it may interupt with city's fixtures, or damage the pitch or it's going to clash with Iron Maiden playing the KC then the least he could do is come out and give his reasons, thats not unacceptable to expect surely. Being unnavailable for comment is a copout.

I'm doing my best not to make this a Hull fc v Hull city thing.

oh no, its because you had a vote on the matter did'nt you! i reckon it was a major factor to save any embaressment of fc having to move a fixture when sky or setanta decided to show a live city game on saturday evening or sunday afternoon, the time when most sl games take place! anyway i still feel the rl fans ofthe city have been cheated out of an international game!

Good, because it's that element of the 'argument' from some of the small minded types on here that caused me to comment.

I can fully understand if Iron Maiden are due to play the KC......

So what about the rest of my post? how do feel about that, agree or disagree?

So if the chairman of the SMC just so happened to be our Chief Executive James Rule and he stopped the england football team from playing against Italy and would not give any reason, or answer any questions you would not think it was a decision made for rugby gains?? Get real.

I'm real, by their own admission in their posts, others clearly aren't.

Regarding the travelling, if people were coming from the Southern Hemisphere, I doubt 60 miles here or there would be an issue. I assume you're referring to my point that according to the views of some regarding this 'rugby mad city' it'd be better playing it at a bigger stadium anyway.



I agree that as far as is possible, the full reasons for the refusal should be made public.



I agree that the game should be accomodated if at all possible.



I'm not as convinced as you of the value of such games to the City of Hull, but that's a whole seperate argument. I only mention it so you don't think I'm simply avoiding it.

So your not going to answer my question then?
