Council hit back at Hull KR in row over North Stand delays

“Absolutely laughable that prioryred and other numpties of his ilk still continue to end their half wit posts with a word that's supposed to represent BELIEVE !
After all that's gone on please tell me that they don't continue to BELIEVE?
How gullible can some people be? I guess that's an indication of why they inhabit east hull :-)”

“Tell ya what, keep having digs at each other whilst your own clubs are failing. It must block out the pain eh? Instead of digging the other club try rectifying your own clubs problems both on the pitch and ESPECIALLY financially by helping somehow. BOTH clubs are financially crippled as is the whole sport of Rugby League..........but don't let the facts stand in the way of a good niggle eh Haddock and everyone else.

I guess it's the mentality of rugby league fans in Hull eh???”

“Abnormal norm,

Let's get a few things straight about "spin" and where it's coming from shall we:

THE NORTH STAND DEBACLE: As I see it this is in effect an office block and Community Centre (that's how they got the EU funding) which has a stand attached for Rovers to use. It is a council owned building, just like the KC. Rovers will benefit from the revenue from tickets and hospitality if/when they ever start to use it. Yes, they will pay a rent, but the revenue must outweigh the rental cost otherwise they would not be doing it would they. Rovers are not contributing anything to the building costs.

Now a little test for you. Using the equation:

Revenue – Costs = Profit

Why don't you get your head together with Forest and Slammer and all the other numpties on here and do the maths. When you've finished (you will need at least a C in GCSE between you to work it out), why don't you come back on here and enlighten us as to why this is not a freebie for Rovers? I'll give you a clue, for it not to be a freebie, the answer to the above equation would have to be a negative number (that's one with a little dash in front of it).

Now lets cover the so called subsidies being paid to FC by the SMC:

CATERING: When FC where at the Boulevard, they benefited to the tune of around £70k I think from the catering within the ground. The agreement (contractual I assume) when they moved to the KC was that they should not be out of pocket as a result of the move. Therefore the equivalent amount is due to FC annually from the catering. This is an enticement NOT a subsidy.

TICKETS PAID FOR BY THE SMC: When the stadium opened a number of Premier Tickets were sold. I don't know if these where for life or a fixed term. However the Premium Tickets enable the holders to attend not only the football but also the rugby and other events like concerts. Therefore some of the revenue from the sale of these tickets is for FC. This is an entitlement NOT a subsidy.

Anyway, as the journo's say - let not let the facts stand in the way of a good story (and the North Stand debacle is great story!). Come on you Light Blues. Up the Blue T*Ts.

Oh how we laughed!”

“Eddy (Sandra)

What do your friends in the construction industry say about it?”

“Poor eddy off on one again, he probably had an too much navy cake last night.

They are getting slack in Rampton Secure Hospital.

“Poor eddy, no doubt slobbering over his keyboard again.

It takes all sorts.

“Finbarr

"It's about time that someone stood up to the "spin" of some of the over-large personalities dominating sport in Hull."

ADAM PEARSON?
SHAUN McRAE?

Can't write the word 'spin' without talking about these two.”

“Eddy (Sandra)

Talking of BEGGARS dare to explain how you can spend 8 hours a day on this website every single day of the week?”

“I have to agree with Dr********, there is a lot of hype and wishful thinking emerging from the Gateshull (est.1998) Muppet's over this issue.

I suppose it takes their tiny minds off the troubles their heavily subsided mongrel club is currently experiencing.

BEL13VE

lol”
