    Funny looking back and remembering the RL lot, two of them in particular ( my memory is going but I bet Urika Peece can remember them) going on about the KC would be a white elephant and it should be a 15,000 seat stadium where you could change ends at half time as a bigger stadium would only be needed if Leeds United moved here. These two idiots got a lot 9f time and space on RH and in the HDM spouting their nonsense. One was a fat slob who ran the FC fans forum (with a signature of Hull FC and Leeds United - Pride Of Yorkshire. That disappeared after TWS went down to Div 3.) and the other lived down Glasgow Street. I once contacted RH and asked them to invite them on and ask them about their statements they had given on Sportstalk given the crowds City had and the 20,000 + crowds for football and rugby internationals. I was more or less told that would be too confrontational.

    If I win the Euromillions I will build them one. I am sure there are some good sites in East Hull.

    The obvious solution is Hull FC ground sharing at a purpose built RL stadium in Hull, with quick access when Castle Street is complete down Roger Millward Way to Preston Road.

    One rl club is enough for a city this size.

    Let them merge.

    FC started playing in East Hull so they will be going home. Mind you, Rovers first played in West Hull.

    Lots of similar sized cities, and larger ones, manage with none.

    Hull played at the rifle barracks down Park st/Londesborough St when they first played in the city.

    "Hull F.C., then nicknamed the All Blacks, were one of the initial 22 clubs to form the Northern Union after the acrimonious split from the Rugby Football Union in 1895. The club moved from East Hull to the Hull Athletic Club at the Boulevard in 1895"

    So they played no games between 1865 and 1895.

    Is that what you're saying? Well, is it?

    " they first played in East Hull."

    I think you have expressed yourself clumsily and meant to say "Immediately prior to playing at the Boulevard, they played in East Hull for a few years"

    Didn't you ?
