Hull City FC

This weekend saw Hull City FC secure their place in the Premier League with their 1-0 victory over Bristol City. The team’s win also means they have won the richest single match in world football, estimated to be worth £60 million.

Spring Estate Agents Ltd which is located close to the KC Stadium on Anlaby Road are not only big Hull City fans but are involved in the Hull’s regeneration & are excited about what the win will mean for the city. The Premier League could have some financial spin-offs and the city’s urban regeneration is reflected in the team’s sudden rise.
Hull’s council leader Carl Minns claims schemes like the £100 million regeneration of the Humber Street area, home to the city’s fruit market for nearly 200 years and the £165 million Humber Quays development on the river Humber are proof that the city is in the middle of an economic and social renaissance.

“To get to the Premier League is a visible sign of Hull’s resurgence.” __ Carl Minns

A lot of multi-millionaire owners would come to Hull for away games and they may then look at the city as somewhere they could locate a business or they may want to come and spend a weekend in the East Riding and visit Beverley, the best town in the country.

“To see the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo coming to the KC and going to places like Anfield and Old Trafford will have a massive positive effect on the city.” __ Nick Barmby

The city’s football club will now also be a source of great civic pride in Hull.
