I felt he made some strange comments last season when interviewed after matches etc and said then that he could do to think for a bit longer before saying something. As much as the Boulevard will always be a special place in Hull fans hearts I personally wouldn't want to go back there. If nothing else it would certainly cost us our A grade franchise.
more to the point i dont think there is the space to build a 15,000 capacity RL ground there, not without buying up houses and land.
sure the boulevard may have fitted that number back in the day where you could cram people in and have open air toilets...but a modern ground would struggle to fit that space. Also it was hardly the quickest to get out of with 6,000 in during our final days, it'd never cope with the crowds we get now. And who exactly would pay for it, we've had more than our share of the councils cash.
if the KC does get expanded to 30,000 I'd hope that Hull would take the attitude of 'fine its now 5,000 seats bigger, lets sell 5,000 more passes then' and cut prices/do more marketing to achieve that aim.
personally i think the boulevard could eventually be a good site for a HullFC training ground/academy if we ever have the resources to build one.
