It was a toss up between Hull and Huddersfield for the worst ever SL team that year and IF Hull were relegated they would have not merged with Gateshead and you would not have got a new stadium and the club would have folded.

Thanks?

......and your point is?

What did the so called "merger" with Gateshead have to do with the building of the KC stadium?
Totally unrellated...

Absolutely correct, all three clubs in city were invited to play at the new stadium. Rovers were nowhere near super league standard (bit like now) and declined to take part, because they thought they had a new sponsor (Caddick) who unfortunately for them pulled out at a later date. If they had come on board the KC would have been built on a different (more central) site.

Huddersfield finished bottom. I don't recall them getting relegated?

The club would have restarted at the bottom, like rovers did when they folded. At least the merger did not result in a load of local businesses getting shafted which is a bonus/

Mmmmm, but we beat Sheffield, I know because I was there, which saved us from bottom place. We did merge????? Seem to remember RFL gave us 2 million quid to absorb a failing team. The KC was built, and would have been irrespective of anything else that may have happened. If ifs and ands were pots and pans, the rest is history, Challenge Cup win, 2 finals at the New Wembley, a Grand Final plus who knows this season. Really poor trolling old boy. Lock it.

And weirdest post of the year goes too MR FRISK.

I remember you now !!!!
