Think it's about time Hull supporters stopped listening to Fifth Columnists that think that much of us that they can't seem to use their own forums.Stop looking back and look forward,the K.C. is the future, the Boulevard is the past.Don't let nostalgia cloud your judgement,the Boulevard would just be a millstone round the clubs neck.Stop listening to the Bandwagoners who love to come on here and try to undermine the club.Try and say anything on their site that they don't agree with and you are immediately banned.

Using what money?

If we left the KC, the SMC would have to pay off 20 years of a lease.

Afterall we know it's confidential and nobody here knows any terms or conditions

i e -mailed RH tonight and got my email read out , i strongly believe that Radders comments about returning to the Boulevard was inspired by the board no club will let their players speak out on such a contraversial issue with the potential to upset the fanbase without their consent , i feel that Hull City want the KC to themselves and that basically our board have bowed down to them , Radders i feel was prepped into making this comment about returning to the Boulevard to see what the reaction would be from the fans , i mentioned a couple of months ago about Citys dominance at the Kc but got slated for my comments from certain individuals on this forum , i strongly feel that our days at the KC are numbered , remember our board treat the club as a business , if they can secure an attractive deal from Hull City (and forget the tenancy agreement for a while) that would be financially rewarding that could possibly pay off a lot of our debt , i feel that it would see us leaving the Kc and playing at the Boulevard again, did no one smell a rat at Albos "basics" training at the Boulevard, the club video on the official site at the Boulevard, read into it what you will , do you really think it was an off the cuff remark from Radders ?

you may find out that radders was stitched up with the mail article,whats to say he said all of it the way the daily mail put it?

That's what my thoughts are on the matter. Nearly mail misquote from an off the cuff remark. Par for the course if you ask me.

When you say they would have to pay off 20 years of lease, you really need to clarify the fact that they would simply have to cover the shortfall of the rent they receive from Hull (and as the SMC and Hull City are effectively the same thing, thats why I said City's costs would inclease).

Hull would not receive anything if they left the KC voluntarily. Even if we were pushed out it would take a court decision to ratify it, and that simply will not happen.

when the KC stadium was first mutted was n't there some thing mentioned that it would only be built to home at least 2 professional clubs and if either did n't want to move in it would not have been built. i was also under the impression that Hull city council owned the ground (not Hull city) and it is managed by the smc so i wonder what the councils stance would be if ever the club did want to move?

wasnt the terms of the lease re-negotionable after five years anyway? sure i heard the club was in talks with the smc last year.

Think you're confusing the lease with the rental/operating agreement.

It is odd how the Club Captian was asked for his thoughts on the matter, why not just say "nah it wont happen end of, would be nice tho"

But What Radders said sadly puts him up for a public flogging on here, but why?

I'm sure if Gary Neville went in the media and said "i wouldn't mind a 39th prem league game to be played in Dubai" he would not be expected to be sacked as Club Captain of Man U or the club itself would not feel the self importance to comment on the matter.

So is this Hull FC's board testing the water?

Possibly rebuild Boulevard back to 15000 (lets admit at the current prices we have hit the crowd max for us i'd say) and play 2 derbys a year in a 35000 capacity KC so us and Rovers can get the maximum income from the minimum effort? Rovers could stay as they are as 9k is probably their max crowd so no more redevelopment there.

2 monster games a year?

70000 watching Hull v Rovers a season?

Does anyone seriously believe that we would have made it to 3 finals in 4 years if we had stayed at the boulevard? The KC has given our club opportunities, commercial and otherwise, that the boulevard simply doesnt. The boulevard will always be sacred to every fc fan, but the ground was a dump. The 3d stand hasnt been intimidating for many many years. People need to stop looking back through rose tinted specs and see why we left there in the first place. A move back there takes this club back 20 years.
