None of us know the answer to those questions. I suppose a lot depends on whether City stay up or not.

Although sporting events make up a huge slice of stadium revenue, other means of income (conferences etc.) keeps the pot boiling, so to speak.

Exactly the point I was trying for. If City go down, might the council bosses, and the council tax payers of KuH, be a bit miffed that the managers of the stadium appear to have turned down an opportunity to bring in some additional revenue to the SMC/city economy when one of the main revenue bringers suffers a decrease in income?

I tell you what....I almost let out a small wee when the final whistle blew last night......Just the thought of Duffen and co whincing at the prospect of a relegation battle made me feel glad all over


OK.....Sad I know.....but I just can't help the way I feel. We are being ruled by wannabe world beaters.....and it sucks! If it means that Hull City have to go down for us to host a major international.......So be it

If this is true then it is very shortsighted by Mr Duffen.

OUR community stadium had the opportunity to host a top RL game (we would have got the England V NZ game apparently). The current world champions in our city...what an honour and another big crowd.

Seems that it is after all. Alone among all the football sides involved, Hull City were unable or unwilling to compromise on fixtures.

Pathetic.

And this is why the SMC should be run by a neutral person.

duffen has to resign from the chairman of the smc imo, he HAS a conflict of interest, what a load of b0ll0x regarding waiting for the fixtures, hull city ALWAYS request an away fixture when hull fair is in town, so what is the difference!?
