Hull FC changed its annual accounting date this week to 30 November 2020 from 31 October. This matches Hull KR's accounting date, and Hudgell steps.down the day after...

Mmmmmmmmm

I fail to see how that fixes anything though? Its not like you get double SKY money, you just get double the squad on the payroll to try and get rid of. And fans on both sides will quite rightly raging so even less likely to buy tickets.



Only possible thing is the merged club gets Craven Park as a much needed asset on the books, but as we know its in a poor location and even if some our fans are ok with a merged team playing there its a trek to get there from West Hull.



All that would happen is two new sucessor clubs would pop up and start from the bottom.

Just putting a few facts out there, may or may not be connected

IF the clubs merge, there’s no one out there to fund pop up clubs to take their places. If there were, the clubs wouldn’t be struggling. I do think that Pearson, seeing him tonight, has had enough. He made the decision to bin Radford, probably a year too late, Covid hasn’t been kind to us. He looks like a man who feels everything is conspiring against him.

I meant pop up at a very low level like League1 with a consortium of local businessmen. Hull would still get a few thousand playing out of Costello with the ex academy players. Id rather go watch that than some monstrosity playing in Black and Red out of Craven Park.

What's the capacity of Costello?

78

Lots of room for temporary stands, maybe the new merged club could give 'New FC' Craven Park's old Golf stand

“Hull White Star” playing out Costello?

Might take a bit of pressure off the government when the RFL try to broker some kind of longer term financial support.
