I agree, but it's Hull FC so it doesn't matter.

Bit out touch with your ground developments, so,

Why was the first game switched?

I am back for the derby and it will be first live derby in three years, but really not keen on the south stand after my last visit there.

What is the capcity at CP currently?

I'd be slightly surprised if it isn't switched to the KC. Though it's too soon to have that argument over!

Moving the game to the KC would deffo be a money spinner now after saturdays result. Hull will be gunning for revenge after the perceived injustice of saturdays loss. Their fans will turn up in numbers for sure. In terms of giving ourselves the best chance of a victory we are probably better off keeping the game at MS3 Craven Park.

Also after Saints, 4 of 5 of their games prior to the derby are away so a few more might come along. I agree we'd have a better chance at MS3CP, but if it is a couple points on the handicap against tens of thousands of pounds that might help us maintain/improve the squad, I'd take the long view - and buy a ticket.

edit - I've just started the argument over, haven't I? Massive gormcloptitude.

What's happening now?

Re: And so it begins..... : Tue May 29, 2012 12:57 pm  

Temporary ice rink.

Perfect for keeping cool in the hot Summer months.

Superb, I'm looking forward to seeing Tonya Harding & Nancy Kerrigan round 2 during half time on Sunday.

It could be a geotextile membrane given they appear to be putting hardcore/6F2 fill over the top of it. In layman's terms it is 'reinforcement' for the ground to improve the ground bearing pressure for a ground-bearing floor slab or possibly to improve the ground bearing for the piling rig, piling mat if the ground is really poor. You mentioned they were piling for the founds, so depending on the state of the ground it could be for either.

Well that would tie in with my info on the 18th of May about piling mats going in.
