Absolutely bang on from Barnacle Bill. Mind you, don't expect anybody to believe you or Duffen!
The KC is a Community Stadium which is managed in total by SMC which makes all the decisions as to usage outside of the normal tenants requirements...FACT!
I honestly don'tthink PD could give a monkeys s*it about a so called "guaranteed sellout" in the light of the fact that Hull City's games bring more revenue into the SMC than a one off possible sell out. Are you telling me that if the game was against anyone but Australia it would still sell out. History proves otherwise. If you don't believe what PD said then tough! I do!

Why don't you go and watch City because your contribution to Rugby League is pointless.

City would not have to play away the weekend of the non international all they needed to do was tell the FL/PL that they would have to play on a sunday if the fixtures popped up a home fixture for that weekend.

Its not rocket science, they do it all the time during the regular RL season, FC will play on a Friday/Saturday/Sunday depending on City or Sky. Games are moved by Sky at a whim for television, Duffen just did not want the good people of Hull to have an international end of.

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.

I was thinking a bit more bigger picture on the basis its a community facility. The lack of concerts at the stadium since Duffen took over affects more than just B&W fans.

And do you think it would have been a 25,000 sell out?

I don't really understand your position on this point. 20,0000, 22,0000 or 25,0000 it could have been a profit making event in addition to City's home games not in replacement of one.

Not only that it would have spotlighted the KC as a venue, Hull as a city and RL's importance and standing within the community. How can you not see this?
