Dont worry she'll send the other playground bullies from the hareem round

I know it's election time Phil, but look at it from another viewpoint if you are so able. There have been incremental erosions of FC's tenancy for a few years now. Hull Wasps IIRC were priced out of the arena ages ago. Perception which arguably may be totally flawed is that the council have let this go as it's been small scale and not worth the hassle of taking on a loud, dangerous (but generous Labour Party) benefactor over.. The court of public opinion might be your tipping point for action, but surely doing what's right and not easy should be the primary trigger.


We're hugely grateful for your support clearly, but your pitch about not taking it lying down as if there would be something over and above your responsibility to deal appropriately with public asset custodianship and compliance enforcement is a bit weird. If you're fulfilling this role, great. I look forward to the enforcement stage. With the sale of Ferriby and rumoured calling-in of other loans, the ante against Hull sport in its broadest sense is being upped on an hourly basis. Whilst the council 100% played a blinder in not gifting him the stadium, the question may still be asked as to whether this could have been avoided with earlier action.

Phil,

After listening to the interview of Cllr Brady, he seemed to be apprehensive regarding the cost of an injunction served to the Allams.

I hope, I speak for the majority of the citizens of Hull that irrespective of cost, the Council will serve an injunction.

If the Council fail in this matter, the Allam's will see it as carte blanche
to do as they wish, as a Hull FC supporter, it is indeed nervous times.

I back the Council 100%.

Amen......

I think the time for an injunction is probably past. If, as it seems, the Allams are now in clear breach of their lease obligations then there are other avenues to pursue.

What would other avenues be? No idea what options are open.

Dont worry, concerts coming back if you read yesterdays Dull Daily Fail.

The new LED floodlighting system thats going in, will offer more flexibility and be able to be adapted for concerts and stuff.

Bet its blinking good for Squash and polo

We can all see exactly where this is heading and I agree it is nervous times to be an FC supporter

It isnt really, its great that this is coming to a head and lots of others are seeing Allem for what he really is and it also seems his step too far with Airco could be great in terms of him losing the SMC. And all this when city are possibly six games away from relegation. He really is tapped in the head

As a purely tongue in cheek post wouldnt this be a good time to take back the SMC and hand over to the Councils new Private leisure company to run.....With an experienced Commercial Manager there could be some short term pain but surely for long term gain??? There are some seroius cons but also many pros!!!!!

I am 100% sure that the overwhelming majority of HKR fans would offer exactly the same support to HFC that their fans showed HKR in their darkest moments during the bad times.

Did you not read Kosh's post Zoddy? No place for it on this thread.

He should be tapped in the head.

Preferrably a double-tap

I don't actually see this as a Hull FC issue or supporting Hull FC in a time of need. This is a much wider issue that fundamentally affects us all. He is asset stripping the SMC of assets he doesn't own and using them for a company he does own Hull City.
I've never understood the SMC being run by football people from day 1, its not a football asset as its equally not a rugby asset. Its a council 'people of Hull' asset that should be used for the people of Hull.
The fact that FC lease the stadium for there matches is as irrelevant to the argument of our support for them, that says I've become a trampolining fan because I think its wrong to throw them out.

The stadium and its surrounding facilities should be independently run as a business. Rent from City and FC should be independently assessed and set at a figure that allows the stadium to at least wipe its face. If City or FC can't afford that sum then questions around the viability of either the stadium or the clubs gets called into question. Then I as a council tax payer wouldn't want either financially supporting with my money.

The issue being discussed here is not an FC one, (it may become one if a certain megalomaniac makes hos next move) its Hull residents issue as Hull City have taken an asset I could have used and made it for the sole use of an Allam business.

@RadioHumberside: NEWS: Hull CC write to the SMC asking for the removal of the 3G pitch at the #Airco Arena. Failure to comply could result in legal action

Maybe hcc has had enough?

On top of the community clubs that have lost their home;

No more top flight netball being brought to the city either. Yorkshire Jets used to split their home games between Leeds, Sheffield & Hull, attracting a few hundred fans to their games and televised on sky.

There isn't anywhere else in the city suitable to stage their games.

Just on twitter Matt Dean ‏@mattdeanradio
#hcafc are given 14 days to remove 3G pitch at Airco Arena or face legal action. Stephen Brady tells @andycomfort cat 2 status won't be granted by the Premier League whilst the dispute is ongoing

i can also inform the fans on here that the Allams DID offer the SMC back to the council for £1, the only problem was that they gave us that day to agree, on further investigation the owners had put the £ms that Adam borrowed against the SMC back on the accounts as a debt which would have left the council with a multi million pound bill, making an agreement essentially impossible. so with possible legal action now in the pipeline you will find that it will go quiet as anything said would likely be raised in court, but as I said earlier we are fighting this.

Wasn't that Bartlett ??

Good on Hull City Council for the threat of legal action. The arrogance of the Allams knows no bounds and they must be stopped.

Just seen this on twitter

.... there are also rumours that the original floor will have been ruined when the 3G pitch was installed.

Welcome news that the the council are doing their job.
