his bobness comments really made me chuckle. He should be working for Boris and his propaganda team.
I wonder if the Massive plans will include bringing cooper Cronk over and and possibly winning a trophy.
I personally think craven park will eventually be sold for affordable housing.

Its why Hudge has taken the club off the market
The ability to purchase the freehold from the Hull City Council and now the partnership with Sewell speaks volumes what his future intention is with the stadium if thats what you can call it.
Its built in the middle of a housing estate and was always the the wrong position for a sport ground.
I have no doubt it will be demolished for a future affordable housing scheme with the help of course of Hudge's pals at the HCC.

I stopped reading his post as soon as he said we’d signed Gale as a marquee player. Amazing how he must have such inside knowledge to be able to claim this.

Do Rovers fans realise they’ll have to play Saints and Cats etc, home and away this season?

There’s no Leigh to play theee times en route to Old Trafford this year.
