They are looking at expanding their boundary into Cottingham and

I spoke to Councillor Parn`by and asked him what percentage of

the East Riding, did he think, would be against being merged into Hull.

I would think that 80% of pdople. This is the third time in three

months that this issue has been mentioned. You not mentioning it too

much? No, we did not start this. We have

had no conversation with thd City Council, it is all they're doing, we

are simply responding on behalf of our residents.

But too frightening people, saying that open would be lost.

I used scaremongering? No, I am just I used scaremongering? No, H am just

pointing out fact. The jobs and everything would go together, they

would build on the spaces. That is what they would do if they

control. We do not want to see that control. We do not want to see

happen. The residents do not want to happen. The residents do not want to

see that happen. But you are anticipating a

referendum, you have said 80%. Is this not first class snobbery?

No, you asked me how many pdople I No, you asked me how many pdople I

thought were against it, not how many people would vote. It hs not

snobbery, I think that the city of Hull is great and I think that many

people in the West and the East of people in the West and the East of

the city also agree, but thdy also the city also agree, but they also

Do you agree with Stephen P`rnaby that Hull should leave land

Or does the city need to expand and should the two councils work

If you live on the edge of Hull what do you think of the plan?

Even the Prime Minister was against it.

If this extravagance had been published online, the peopld who

had to justify it or scrap it. But five years on, it seems

politicians are eating their words. Cat Zero saved my life. Thex opened

their doors and gave me the confidence that I needed. I am

working full time and it is fantastic. It is doing something

different, you get to do other things than staying at home.

It has been described as a boot camp on a boat where people are on the

ocean for four days at a tile, on a boat where people are on the

ocean for four days at a time, they ocean for four days at a time, they

which has seen the Tigers go from almost dropping out

of the league to mixing with some Welcome to the northern part of

Slovakia where Hull City make their European debut. We boarded by the

Czech Republic and Poland the ground is about ten minutes behind me and

everybody is getting very excited, as Steve Bruce explained as they

left the game. I sensed yesterday that there was a

different feeling from the friendlies that they have bden

friendlies that they have been playing. I think they have realised

that now when they get to the airport, they have a big European

competition to play in. Let's hope we can do people proud.

It is a monument as occasion, so what will be good for those who get

out there to be there for the first game and hopefully we will pualify

and give them more games to go to. If you think the management and the

players are keen, can you imagine players are keen, can you imagine

how the fans feel? 110 years of history and finally Hull City are in

Europe. We have waited a long time for this.

It is superb. It looks a nice setting, so we will find out soon.
