Quote ="Neil HFC"Does anyone know how the Allam Open Squash tournamnent, due to be held at the Airco Arena will impact on the supposed sole use requirement of the Tigers/EPL?'"
It will have no effect at all. The Academy audit is unlikely to be complete by then so there will be no legal action hanging over Assem Allam's squash tournament.
If I was being cynical it looks like a deal has been done. The Council get the planning permission for the bubble pitch. Academy status is granted on the bubble pitch facilities and the Airco Arena is cleaned up and becomes available for the people of Hull again.
No doubt at some cost to the council tax payers of Hull as we make a financial contribution for the bubble pitch and the costs of removing the 3g pitch.
