I hope England do get the world cup in 2018 as a football fan, but first and foremost im a Hull FC fan and i believe if Hull was to be chosen as a venue and the KC was extended then i believe it would be too big for us to play in.

Yes its a purely selfish point of view but its on the basis i want the best for Hull FC so i wouldnt lose no sleep if Hull wasnt chosen as a venue.

I can see London, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Leicester, Sheffield, Newcastle, Leeds, Sunderland, Nottingham, Derby all above Hull in the pecking order anyways due to the history of football in these areas.

Put the party poppers away and send the cheap champagne back to Netto's, nothing to see here.

Exclusive - Plymouth , Bristol or Nottingham WILL NOT find the funding for a new stadium and Hull will be offered first refusal as the Council have given guarantee on funding 44,000 seats so do not be too disappointed.

I can't see it happening for a few reasons as some have already stated.
Hotel accomadation- not enough by a long stretch, where would you build them in any case?
Location/transport- basically Hull has always been geographically challenged, reasonable road/rail links but couldn't cope with huge numbers for the likes of a 40k game.
Stadium - Capacity would have to increase by almost 60%, currently the KC is ranked 35th in terms of max capacity for English football grounds.
Whilst we have a very nice stadium compared to a lot of those with larger capacities, I just don't think we have or could build the infrastructure to cope with a 40k stadium.

As a side note I think we should be let off the % of capacity rule IF the KC did expand massively.

The World Cup lasts 4 weeks, and the KC would realistically only be used for Group games so thats more like 10-12 Days. We wouldnt need 4 weeks to get the pitches right as the World Cup would be at the height of summer when the pitches would be at their best and City wont have played on it for at least a month.

I'm sure we had a period of about a month when we didn't play a home game last summer so its not that unusual and I believe Wigan didn't have a home game for the first 8ish games either last season or the season before that. It really wouldn't be a big deal at all.

As it happens it makes no difference anyway

Yeah, probably right there. Group stages normally last about that long. but as you say it doesnt matter now anyway.
