Get used to the thought of it, as Hull FC rent the stadium, and Rovers have just as much right to also rent the stadium.

Actually no they don't


The user agreement names both Hull city and Hull FC as joint prime users, either or both can veto the renting out of the stadium to a third party. Hull city council own the stadium and did ask KR right back before it was built and KR said no, that was the end of that. KR pay a peppercorn rent for the use of Craven park which they have to maintain and now they are having problems with funding devopements now.

You might need to add

I don't think Allam owns any shares in Rovers, at least if he does, they've not filed the return at Companies House yet.

Would it be business practice to issue shares to some who had loaned money to the company as a sort of surety ?

Looking on the positive side, I've missed Hull 'A'.

Like to see that when other members complain and say no no-one replies to them about cost and that.. must just be me haha..

Re: hull kr to move in : Sat Feb 04, 2012 6:30 am  

can I just ask, why are some of the more sensible FC fans even concerned about this, firstly it's in The Sun, so that makes it nonsense inthe first place, secondly it's written by Dave Parker, which means it was written in crayon.

KR getting anywhere near the KC as their home ground requires a lot of council discussions, a lot of consultation with both FC and City AND the various bodies that have already funded Caravan Park. They get 8,800 for a reason, small club, small chairman and a small mentality.

People would be much better served looking into where Mr "Knight in shining armour" Crossland has disappeared off to, and the financial stability/viability of Hull KR.

merger is not on the cards, despite what a few people might have you believe

No merger but hudge is painting himself into a corner with the lack of capacity at caravan park. If the north stand falls through then he needs to do something and the council won't refuse a request from rovers to play at the KC.

It's a council facility and we only rent it. I have no issues with rovers playing their home games there

I haven't seen anywhere that suggests it's not happening. It's a simple, perhaps inevitable, delay in the European funding. Maybe Hudgell should have spent £200k less on players this year - they have a very big squad - and not done the Tenerife camp, to balance the books. Hudgell want his cake and to eat it. It's within his gift to balance the books in the short term and he could accept this and act accordingly rather than blaming the council who have bent over backwards to assist Rovers over a number of years.

The funding isn't approved so at the minute it isn't happening. I don't doubt the grant will be approved but unless the council bankroll it in the short term I doubt it will be ready before mid 2013 at best

Re: hull kr to move in : Sat Feb 04, 2012 8:36 am  

Surely the knight in shining armour Mr Rob Crossland could bankroll this at the opening of a parasol... or maybe he's as skint as the dobbins?

answers on a postcard to MRC Revenue and Customs, VAT and IR35 investigation unit...................perhaps?
