Dunno, but he said caravan park isn't capable of supporting rovers financially and tough decisions need to be made for the good of the club.
Personally, I don't care. We only rent the stadium from the council, it isn't ours and it doesn't matter to me who else plays there. It would definitely see your club subsidising mine which is a good thing

If the North Stand has fallen through - which'd be shocking enough in itself - what other options does he have? Nobody can be expected to keep tipping in their cash forever. So he has to play chicken - in the first instance with the council and if that fails with a section of the fanbase. I'd hope they'd see it through to the end of the season, so a transition can be managed, if he loses twice - but beyond that nobody can say he didn't try his utmost and if people choose not to back him they have to face up to the (probably unpalatable) alternative.
Someone will blink, I reckon.

Dont you all wish it was 2010 and youd see the grand opening of a 14,000 capacity CP
Joking aside
If i was a Rovers fan, especially a club member (excuse me if i didnt get the correct name) I'd be demanding aswers from NH very soon, and i'd be wondering if Kath and Rule were involved!

I don't believe the council have any options on this and I doubt the ERDF funders give a flying ferk about some foot stamping from an east hull ambulance chaser. The funding bodies have pulled the plug on live projects costing 1000's of jobs so doubt they'll care about backing out of a deal which primarily benefits the owners of a small sporting club on the east coast

He said nothing would be done without the fans consent, he also said that if there was no progress especially off the field he might walk away. Sound like he is frustrated by the delay in the funding. he also said he is totally confident that the problems will be overcome and the club will progress both off and on the field.

Gollum asked him about The Sun story and Hudge wouldn't rule it out. He said there'd been a further delay on the building work and without that work being done CP was not economically viable for a club wanting to progress. Said a couple of times that at some point it might have to be accepted that it would never happen at CP and that moving elsewhere had to be considered.
Apparently there should be a statement next week on the latest state of play regards funding for the North Stand. Doesn't sound like it'll be good news.
He did say that the fans would ultimately have the say on any move, but he also said that he might well walk away from the club if he felt it lacked ambition.
Hold on to me baby, his bony hands will do you no harm It said in the cards, we lost our souls to the Nameless One

How can the club lack ambition if he doesn't and he owns it?
