agree with standee - its a prime site to kick start some council house building and regeneration

Surely a few tents and portaloo would suffice

At first I though that was a pic of the new stand at Craven Park!!

i know the kc is a great stadium..but it doesnt bring back the atmosphere of the old boulevard..i spent some good laughs there years ago having a good old banter with you hull speccies..

move back

great idea.

I agree, I wouldn't look forward to your new stadium too much mate. It will bring more fans and revenue but the experience is nowhere near as enjoyable.

the stadium isnt going into ruin.. its still looks fine, they have put money into it

Nah.
Rumour has it that the Boulevard is being bought for by the cosmetic industry as it is the biggest rat breeding ground and craphole in the world and will save them a fortune!

So it is the new Craven Park stand ?

At least they would have to buy it, you'd have to give your sheethole away or pay them to take it off your hands.

I dont get it!!

Oi, who's chucking tumbleweeds?!!!

And this comming from someone who's ground is comming off pramland Preston road.

shame weve moved on then to the PREMIER sporting facility in the league wereas your crap hole still stinks of days gone by...
when rovers can play at a 25000 seater stadium come back on here and gloat, until then id stay silent as your sounding foolish

Although I love the KC.......It just doesn't create the same atmosphere as the Boulevard. If it ever happened.....I'd welcome a return there. And I bet there are many others that would too.

To suggest that it should be flattened is just WRONG.......Do you have no nostalgia in you at all Martin? Remember your roots......They keep your feet on the ground mate!!!!

Evening Gordon!

Read that last bit again please mate!!!!!!! Or at least add "every other week" to the statement!

why would they want to buy the boulevard when they already own craven park?

So, it's wrong to get rid of an expensive liability (which is what Boulevard will become) and look to provide affordable social rented housing?

I tell you what, lets keep it, some half baked idea to move back might come along shortly, it might be part of the "takeover master plan".

liability? the only reason the dogs are stopping is because it never got a good crowd. They will not flatten it since they have just put a quarter of a million into it. It can be used for allot of things

was it not marshall and rennison who put up the £250,000 to improve the boulevard?could be wrong though!maybe the fans who are looking to start back up the independant supporters group have a cunning plan!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course it is a liability, the council have to pay for insurance, maintenance etc. as well as ongoing security etc.

What are the things it can be used for, where is the income stream?

it may not sound much but hull isberg arlfc pay approx£4000 a season plus extras for continued use of the stadium(matchdays,training etc).hull fc will also pay an undisclosed amount to use it for training (1st,reserves and acadamy).don't know of anyone else using it in any way,but i'm certain there will be.i think the council will keep it going for the short term to see what income can be brought in,and also to let schools use it(?).but i think eventually unless someone takes over the greyhounds side of things,they will close it and knock the remainder down

The thing is there is a recession on.Do you really think they would pour HRA money at this time?.You only have to look at Boothferry Park to see nobody could care less about regeneration.

It depends, the pressure on HCC to start a new build programme may increase given changes at DCLG yesterday and in the coming week, if so then the Boulevard and Boothferry Park areas are ideal for regeneration as land clearance would be minimal.
