Once again we are a few weeks before local elections and cllr Box wheels out some new soundbite that looks really good , but on closer inspection turns out to be nothing but blowing smoke.

I hope i am wrong, but this is what i am expecting.

I reckon you are spot on.

My memory might be failing me, but isn't this roughly where Uncle Ted intended to take us to before Box came up with his grand plan for Thornes Park?

I reckon the council have been tricking us all along. Inside that giant white box that we all think is cold storage is actually an 80,000 seater stadium they've been developing in secret along with the RFL and EFL to be used as a 'Wembley of the North'. There's going to be a grand unveiling in a few months time where they wrap a massive ribbon around the whole box and then the walls peel away when Peter Box cuts the ribbon to reveal the stadium

Oh, and we wont be given permission to play there

I think of this post every time I drive past it now
Can't wait for the big unveiling.

Thanks. You've been playing in the Championship and will most likely be bottom two again next year whilst your biggest rival has won back to back Wembley finals. I'll just leave that here.

Has there been an actual announcement of anything?

Very good Jakey. Wouldn't know what the salaries in Hull are like to be honest, as I have never lived or worked in Hull.

Jeremy cross has just tweeted a few minutes ago, saying huge news coming up soon.
