Don’t underestimate the amount of goodwill the Dobbins have in the upper echelons of the Council. Certainly get looked after more than any other professional sports club in the city. Only because you don’t know about it doesn’t mean it’s not happening. They’ll get their ground at a good price as they’re worried Grudgell would pull the plug if not.

Do you want to back that up with facts? or you just having a rant because it's KR and are still stuck in the 80's?

The council should help the clubs within reasonable bounds but if they sell some land to rovers which is then developed at a profit then the council should share in that profit imo. They must have stacks of land sat doing nothing that they could give to us on some long lease if we could put a finance package together to build a ground

There’s some fine council owned lands, on the road into Cottingham, maybe we can have a word with the deputy leader of the county council, who I know for a fact, even though he is a Londoner, is a massive rugby league supporter of one of the Hull teams.

Cottingham is in the East Riding, the KC isn't viable without us, we don't need to own a ground, if KR weren't discussing it we wouldn't be.

I respectfully disagree with you, to own our own ground has been a subject well documented in the past, regardless of any intentions by the robins.

Disagree to your hearts content, that is what forums are about. As I have said before, unless one of us drops £100m plus then the KC will remain our home.
