totally agree for me to get the club back in the city regarding traning and academys ect is great news and thats tthe important thing now people have a great chance of been able to attend the academys games ect, yeh ok the facilitys are not the best but im sure ap will be working very hard on this

I can't contain myself yet more exciting news to come out of FC.



!

I can't remember where i read it but i'm sure i did about any money made from FC will be re-invested in the facilities

i know i expected pearson to build us a state or the art facilty with everything thats goes with it before the start of the season becuase you dont need the right location, or plans, designs, planning permission do you oh and the money.

the news today is hull are moving back into the city regarding first team training yet people want to moan about coz the facility isnt the best what about the posistives that people now have a great chance of going to watch first team traning and watching the academy teams

"It's just down the road, down the road apiece..." for me too

. Just hope the facilities are given the investment to match Brantingham pdq, or this could be seen as another unfulfilled promise...



(Locko, have you become a Dad, or has Garbutts started selling PG Tips tea in fancy cups?)

That's why I am excited develop the facilities with Hull RU.



Exciting times.

YPI is a charity I believe, clubs play rent in order to play there, a board of trustees take the ultimate decisions (with reps on from the member clubs), though there is a management board which handles the day to day running I believe. Any money made from rent and hire gets re-invested into the YPI or is used to meet running costs. So any money generated by FC would go to improving the facilities as the YPI trustees see fit, whether those improvemenst be on the tennis courts, changing rooms, bars, squash courts, or rugby areas etc.



I can't believe the place makes any money at the moment so I am sure they welcome FC's arrival.



It won't be money directly into the pocket of a rugby union club like it was at Brantingham however.

The great facilities they had at Brantingham didnt do the players much good did it.

10 year rent with regular reviews from both parties



The gym is getting extended into the physio room next door and fully refurbished



New offices will be built next to where the new changing facilities are, and that is already in the process of being sorted.

Used to play cricket there for Hull YPI in the 80's. It was the best wicket in the City. They used to put silt on it from the Humber as it stopped the pitch breaking up. So good to hear that the picthes there for rugby are good.



Presumably the fact Hull have committed to the site as a training venue means that additional investment in the facilities can be made, which will be good for Hull and also all the other sporting clubs that use the club.



The main thing is the location. Back in the city, closer to the population it will add to the attendances to the development teams and allow more fans to see the players of the future.





On a side note, if the club really wanted to get state of the art facilities, then this is something the club could really look closely with Rovers and City. In theory, nothing stopping all three acquiring some land and building some proper facilities. I'm sure it will never happen, but as Hull & Rovers had been thinking of ways to work together... just an idea

Good to see it back in Hull , Maybe this will encourage a few more supporters to the lower grades.

All is not well at the top at FC. The move away from the CEOs beloved Brantingham was a decision made by Mcrae. It won't be long before slugs interference has no boundaries.
