At this moment in time there are NO fixtures scheduled to be played at the KC on any of the weekends the RFL requested. It is complete nonsense to suggest that nothing could be fixed up for the GB game. Let the FL or PL work around the RL fixture not the other way round.
Hull only have one home fixture in August and one in September, granted they may make the play-offs but they will probably not have more than one home game if any.
Its all a load of bollox from Duffen and like SB said .... Wigan?? |

I have booked to see her in Rotterdam in December as couldnt get decent priced tickets in the UK
I agree with the acts being poor, Killers would be awesome, even take that i think could get 20k
The SMC are not looking big enough in regards to the acts they get |

| Quote Vicenzo="Vicenzo"Which is why I said "on reflection". What Duffen didn't know was how sensitive RL supporters can be!
 Let's face the facts here. He is chairman of a club which is in the greatest sporting league in the world and his thoughts will be on staying in it next season. The rewards are in the strasophere and he can be forgiven if in the middle of this he is asked if he can put a game on next season which may bring another of his business interests about £25k. I know where my priorities would lie. Why didn't the RL ask for the game to be on a Sunday or Friday night like all other fixtures?'"
What, like the GF, CC final and other internationals? Or upwards of 40 SL games which will be played on a Saturday.
If he cannot perform his duties as head of the SMC objectively for its owners he should step down. |

For what, being denied the chance to see two countries competing?
So, where the reasons you were defending prior to todays HDM merely another throw away comment until he wanted to come up with another poor excuse.
Wigan, Huddersfield and Doncaster appear able to accomodate these fixtures prior to Duffens March deadline.
He could get more credibility by simply stating he would rather it was City's stadium and he wanted it solely for football. This is wht he is implying.
Fortunately for the public of Hull, that will not happen (well not in the next 20 years anyway) |

TBF i think City fans would be glad to have you out the KC and their chairman definitley would. With Rovers fans it wouldn't matter one iota either way.
So the only public of Hull who would be bothered about it would be you B&W's. |

THE FACTS
- RL Needed a cast iron/set in stone commitment to a free weekend NOW
- A request to Football League can only be made in MARCH
- The confirmed fixture list comes out in JUNE with no guarantee of this free weekend being granted
Unless SMC took a huge gamble, the decision is correct.
Remember that TV Coverage, Hotel booking for supporters and Teams, Police cover, etc etc does not happen at the drop of a hat.
They take months of planning and months of notice.
If the ONLY time SMC would get a confirmed answer was June, and someone needed an answer - only a moron would agree to hosting the event.
This is good business sense, not one person on her does anything on a hope. You dont work unless you have a PO, you dont do anything till it has been approved, you dot every 'i' and cross every 't'.
Thats SMCs job, and thats exactly what they have done.
A decision like this cannot be made based on emotive factors. They are a Stadium Management company and they managed it correctly.

| Yeah a request can only be made in March.
Doncaster, Wigan, Huddersfield, Manchester United, Man City, Hull (in the past), QPR, Watford and Blackburn have all had this problem in the past so many years haven't they |
