I can not see what Hull FC are going to gain at all if this goes ahead. A load of facilities which we do not need and an extra 10,000 seats we will not use and an excuse to increase the rent we have to pay, and he thinks giving Hull KR a million pounds is a way of treating the two clubs fairly. I don't think so. I believe the reason he gave Rovers the money is so they will have to play ball in the future if he wants the two clubs to merge or to play in the same stadium. I just hope Hull FC don't accept any soft loans or any shareholders sell to him.

It is imperative that the Council explore all eventualities before agreeing to sell. That includes ensuring the price is the full original cost of the stadium plus an extra amount for the land, and a buy back clause if his pipedream never happens or a guarantee of any profit from any future sell on comes back to the Council. He should not have any problem with this because "I don't want to make money out of sport"

I also think it is essential that Hull Fair continues at its current Walton Street site. Health and Safety issues would probably stop any re-location and it must not be allowed to die. It is part of this City's heritage. The way he dismisses this in interviews as not worthy of a response just shows how far removed he is from the people of Hull, but then we already knew that when he suggested the two rugby clubs should merge in his first interview.

I think you really are living in dreamland. Walton Street a wasteland - who decided that and when. Its been there for as long as we have all been around and just because some 'philanthropist' wants to now 'develop' it you decide to ride (to quote you)on his coat-tails. As for the status quo - What do you mean ?

Quoted from Humber Business.com
"Melton-based diesel generator manufacturer Allam Marine reported gross profits of £20 million for the year ending December 31, 2010, up from £18 million in 2009.

The company, which is run by Assem Allam and his son Ehab, saw turnover rise by 14 per cent to £132 million from £116 million the previous year and £106 million in 2008"

Is this Allam guy giving you money to promote his plans? He's a joke and is trying to create a super club among KR and FC if you are happy for this to happen then you can't call yourself an FC fan.
