tonyXIII 2,214 Report post Posted March 11, 2017 Just seen this on the BBC. Of course the ground share should be stopped. It's ridiculous. Hull City should pi** off and find their own ground, after all, they get millions from SKY for their kickabouts. Rethymno Rugby League Appreciation Society Founder (and, so far, only) member.

If he didn't like the set up then why did he agree to become their manager? Will probably be less of a problem when they're relegated at the end of the season anyway. RADFORD OUT!

Agree, this sounds far more like deflection from a season of poor performances than anything serious. Though I did hear talk of bidders for city wanting to build FC a new stadium a while back.

Chronicler of Chiswick 910 Report post Posted March 12, 2017 This crops up once in a while with groundshares when the soccer team's doing badly. The former Fulham groundsman, Steve McGee (later to become one of our stalwarts), always reckoned that soccer caused more damage than RL - and he was the person who had to repair it!

moorside roughyed 2,960 Report post Posted March 12, 2017 The bbc article also mentions the situation in Swansea with the soccer team and rugby union team sharing the stadium. I watch both codes and Union in my opinion causes more damage than league due to the nature of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
