taxpayer.did the council not lose a bit of the kc money invested in icelandic banks???

Fewey reckons that the council is sitting on a pile of cash from the second tranche of KC shares they sold. Dunno if it is true. Info on the North stand, has always involved talk of multiple partners. The council would be one and a very important one. there'd be commercial input too, I'd imagine. And I think there may have have been mention of an application for an EU grant (there goes a huge swing to UKIP in West Hull

).

First they take our cod, then they close our airspace, now they deny us our superstadium. Damn you Iceland, damn you!

tbh,i'm not bothered where you get the finance from.but it would be nice to be able to sit/stand in a ''area'' better than the one i did on good friday!!!-so tell hudg and co,to get a move on!!!!!!!!!

One reporter decided that East Hull needs a new stadium and with very little thought about funding and other major elements wrote an article and started a poll, this new stadium wont be talked about anymore in 2 weeks time.

what beats me,is,who actually decides where to invest this money????

There is no funding coming from anywhere for this stadium because, as it stands, it doesn't exist and isn't currently on the agenda.

It may seem a bit 'pie in the sky', but I wouldn't want the club to invest heavily in Craven Park only to realise 5/10/15 years down the line that we really should've put the money into a new stadium that would benefit the club and community.

Personally, I can't see it happening and think the club and council will continue to press on with plans to develop CP, but if nothing else I suppose this interest and the petition will at least get that question asked and hopefully make sure the correct course of action is taken.

Mark Fewings is not a reporter, he started at hull daily mail as a cleaner found and pencil and note pad in the bin and started writing about his love for household pets.

The rest is history.

Surely to secure a prestigious post with the HDM he must have at least completed the Shoddy Research Course.

maybe ought to put them back in the bin!!

You'd be surprised.

There is rumours that when his brother, a superb piano player, was asked by Mark Hateley to play wing back he'd only do it on two conditions.
One that Hateley would get his mong of a brother a job.
Two that he could have a go on the blonde behind reception.

From that day on Mark Hateley refused to talk to the local media except Mark Fewings.

And the blonde left with a big pay off.

This is FACT

it could be.

But so could the rumour that he ran in the hdm offices chasing a butterfly and never left.

I can remember bumping into MF at leyton orients ground in a play off game years ago.

We chatted about the game and he was trying, I use the word loosely, to get fans reaction.

In the end he said 'balls I can't be bothered I'll make some up, no one reads this poo anyway.'

the day after I read the paper to see what he'd wrote and was surprised to see 5 people quoted who he knew that never went to the game.

On a side note I travelled down to the game with a current hkr shirt sponsor, I know all the hull celebs!

Its great that Fewey is highlighting this point and raising awareness, but will anything actually happen from this? I doubt it.

nothing will happend because Fewey has started his article on a whim with absolutly nothing to back it up whatsoever, next week he will start another pointless article and the East Hull super stadium will be mentioned no more.

raise awareness? It's not cancer!

Hkr don't need a new staduim, the redevelopment plans are enough.

why don't you get a quote together for him?

I've already told you, my newspaper days are over, my new radio deal prevents me from talking to other media companys.

Hull KR are still new as a club to the modern game, they are making much better steps than most clubs in terms of stadia. In 5 years the East stand should be completed and will be full for every game. The North stand should also be completed with great facilities and then the club can look at a new south stand. All seems pretty good to me.

15,000 capacity seems about right as well.
