It's a decent point. You could also argue that things like Yorkshire Forward and other iniatives that are been stopped to save money also bring the same benefits to the area.

Don't know if you ever dealt with yorkshire forward but all the dealings I had went more backwards than forwards.

And the NHS are progressive because...?

Wasn't that the role of Yorkshire Forward?
The "hub" is a load of bollox. It's free operational infrastructure for a private limited company that the council have bailed once already by buying back NCP and which is not a going concern without directors underwriting it's losses. See the handout for what it is. Fantastic negotiation all round to get £4m of your money into a facility that in reality will be used for 30 odd hours a year. Enterprise hub my @rse.

Except you choose not to include the FACT that this is no handout, its being repaid, like a mortgae, over 30 years, along with partners in the project like Sirius and the University of Hull and Hull Adult Education and Hull Training etc.

So once again the "handout" stays firmly with yourselves.

Once again the only bollox being spouted is from a bitter and twisted female obsessive who may as well be called Mrs Wikpedia.

Where did you get that info from? The article states that the council will meet 4.2m of the bill but will look to reduce that through euro funding.

If it is a loan as you suggest then what kind of favourable agreement will that loan cover? That in itself is still a handout. I'm yet to see evidence though that this is a loan and not a grant.

Nice to know that you'r not bitter about it love!

I hope it is a grant and not a loan. I would prefer to see my fellow Rovers fans take a bit of banter/stick rather than have the club saddled with more debt!

this would have been great news if it was done at the Boulevard back in the day, but i guess that as its happening across the city the green eyed monsters all come out.

maybe the NHS dont want to build a new building and find it more convienent/cheaper to use as existing facility for there centre?
Anyone who doesnt like the idea of this money being spent in this way should take it up with the NHS, not Rovers.
