Or leave it there so those of us who travel all the way across East Yorkshire to watch first team games, don't have to travel as far to see the A team

Yes, as a club representing the City of Hull, we should cater for those outside of the City!

Or just scrap the salary cap it hasn’t stopped clubs going bust or at least up it

Scrapping would mean the rich clubs getting richer and poor clubs going bust trying to keep up, Wigan and Bradford come to mind???

I live in a West Hull village and attended the previous A team games, Brantingham is an excellent ground and was well attended. It’s only 15 minutes from the town centre, unless there’s a bloody accident on the A63.

I like Brantingham, and have even walked there. I still maintain we should play in Hull though. Brantingham and Bishop Burton both killed any walk up crowds, despite both having many benefits.

A club who's catchment area includes vast swathes of Yorkshire, and beyond. I appreciate that the largest percentage of FC supporters may come from within the city, but a large number don't.

Indeed they do. However to stage A team games in the KCom would be prohibitively expensive, so they should be played wherever the facilities exist that are available at the right cost. If that happens to be in rural East Yorkshire, then so be it.

If it's in Hull then that's fine too, I was merely stating that it doesn't HAVE to be in Hull.

So the club should only cater for people who live in Hull. What a stupid attitude.

And obviously Withernsea.
Forget those fancy West Hull villages.
