Congratulations to everyone associated with the club, I thought that would do well to make the playoffs this year but have been pleasantly surprised. I will be good for the profile of the city and hopefully will bring some much need money in.

Looks a similar layout to the Boulevard from the air

The usual suspects de-railing without consequence.

I agree with the OP, quite surprised at how well City have done this year. Bit of a wobble at the end but they fully deserve promotion. Will be interesting to see whether they get the financial balance in terms of player acquisition vanity vs business model sanity right. Duffen was there today apparently, that's interesting.

Mental last couple of minutes at the KC and that agonising wait - crazy finale.

Whats this thread got to do with hull kr ? lets see how the mods play this one

Erm, what does this have to do with Rovers and Rugby League!?

What did the Hull mods say when you raised it about the thread on your board?

Big local sports story and not doing any harm - easy enough to ignore if you're not interested.

Because we share a stadium with hull city and have to deal with mr Allam is the reason why our mods allow the thread on our board (i'd imagine anyway). Were as this thread was starting to have cheap digs at hull fc and no more

Makes you wonder why you even bothered to comment.

Great news for all the Liverpool, Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal fans in the area who get to see their heroes playing locally.

We wouldn't dream of it.

If the Allams do move to Melton. Is it still viable for Hull FC to play at the KC?

Congrats to the round ball followers

If it is about City, that is fine and appropriate. What you imagine the implications might be for Hull FC - they have a thread, where I'm sure they will welcome sensible contributions.

Is this hull city related MR ?

No it is a tiny dig at Hull FC. If that sort of thing upsets you, perhaps spending time on a Hull KR forum isn't a good idea. Or the board for six-fingered morons, as you might know it better.


As for the shared stadium - it is a community facility, after all, so while today isn't the day, that isn't much of an argument. Any further comment via pm - cheers.

Now... Well done Hull city.

Fantastic! Well done to Hull City, it is great news for the economy of the city.

Great news for the city and well done all round. I remember city fans thinking allam had gone mad sacking Barmby, seems like a very good decision now. Only city could have a german who misses a pen tho.

I thought Watford were fated to win with 10 when Cardiff equalised.

2 points from the last 12, they stumbled up more than climbed. Still,'up' is the only word that matters. I doubt they'll get too carried away, but it'll be interesting to see who they bring in.

I luvre Chelsea

I suggest you re-read the OP and stop making things up.

Firstly what's it got to do with the Hull fans what's on our board were just saying we'll done to Hull city just because you lot don't like the allams that's your problem and if you look on hudds Leeds and Wigan boards they have threads on there respective football teams it doesn't seem to be a problem

and then on the last day a young debutant keeper who only went to watch the watford match ends up playing and gifts city promotion after producing 2 howlers,i would call it fortunate.

They were the second best team over 46 games. They did rather fall over the line, but they deserved it more than those below them - who couldn't even finish above a team who were unable to win any of their last 4 games etc.

There is a massive increase in the Sky/BT/Overseas TV money for all Premier League Teams from July 1st. The numbers are just crazy...

Each Premier League Clubs gets a [uminimum[/u of...

£25m (50% of the Total Sky/BT TV Money split evenly between the 20 Clubs)
£1.5m for finishing 20th + £1.5m per position above 20th, Champions get £30m! (25% of Sky/BT TV Money)
£5m-20m depending on the number of Live TV appearances. (25% of Sky/BT TV Money)
£10m-£15m Overseas TV Rights.

So you get around £40m even if you finish bottom, plus £15m/year for the first 4 seasons after any relegation.

Most of this will of course be swallowed by the crazy wages, and if not for the Allams after City's last relegation the club might now not exist I just hope that City are more sensible with their wages this time even if it means a big struggle due to not being able to attract some of the best players.
