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.

And that just highlights the pettiness of the egotistical madman, 2nd hand basketball gear will be worth peanuts, surely the City's great philanthropist would have at least gifted the gear to the club he's evicted.

I'd say it was unbelievable, but really it's entirely to be expected. The volume of stuff going on and the fronts they're choosing to fight on is reaching mental proportions now.

I said this a while ago, but I just don't see what the end game is here now. As most sane people recognised early on, objective 1 was to get the stadium for nowt and borrow against it for a commercial development. When that door was shut my perception is that everyone then became a target for different reasons - the council for not gifting him a public asset for private company game, FC for sharing the tenancy, City's own fans for not buying a baseless marketing idea.. but what is the ultimate objective. City are currently a viable operation and need to remain so for him to protect his investment, but is peeing off the FA and City's fans the best way to continue? Or creating a storm in the press on a daily basis? What exactly is success now for Allam? I have absolutely no idea.

On one of the twitter pictures posted by Angus Young there's an awful lot of what looks like large tubs of adhesive.

Next line from Allam - "It's impossible to take the pitch up without causing £10s of thousands of damage" ?

It is baffling, you'd have thought all his attention would be keeping City up, with a bumper TV deal windfall that would pay him back his investment and also make them more attractive to a buyer if they do. But instead he's taking on Kingston Panthers!

Yep I think it was !

I thought so as well - we don't want subtle typos like that been made at this stage of the proceedings.

Talk about putting your energy into random acts of destruction! Nuts!

A lot of MD's / CEO's are driven and intelligent. But, they are in come cases genetically predisposed for meglomania (one gene away from serial killers if you read certain scientific papers). Clearly he feels slighted, and this is purely about hell bent revenge and control. He will have his way or else. Hopefully we don't let him but he seems to be getting somewhere will the name change, and this, well, the council needs the busfare to go through with this and sort him

I read the same, 4% of CEOs are psychopaths compared to 1% in the general population. Typical traits include egocentricity & grandiose sense of self-worth, untruthfulness/insincerity, lack of empathy, failure to take responsibility for own actions.

Just a question on the council putting in an application on the dome pitch. Who's paying for it? (the pitch that is, not the planning application).

Assuming it's city, another question: Who owns the dome pitch when city's lease expires (assuming it's built at the KC)?

It's a great way of saying to Allam who's the prat now .
Think Allam will have to pay for it .

Only will hockey team miss out?

Been reading not 606 eh?



Even the city fans think the councils doing it as a way of placating Allams argument about not being able to erect the bubble pitch so he has no come back when he says he had to do Airco as there was no other alternative.

I seriously dont understand your point in all of this. You just love an argument but have no cohesion in what your saying. I never remembered you being so vociforous about anything Allam has done previously yet the council are now standing up to him and you are now questioning them. Are you on Allams side as its almost how your coming across or again do you just love arguing?

But their principle is not spending money building an extension on someone else's house. This is similar, surely?

I think this will be the end of the Allams, the council can not back down now its a fight to the end. The simple fact is that when Bartlett took over SMC the then Lib/Dem council allowed a lot tog o through on the nod and the present Labour council are trying to pick there way through the mess. The Allams have now provided enough conditions which would IMHO where a council legal challenge would prove successful over time. Now I fear an attack on FC at some point anytime now, clearly he will try and ramp up the anti and using FC is an ideal way. I for one will stick an objection in to any "bubble pitch" being put up that will in effect evict of the hockey teams, they have a right to be there as well. Kicking them out to let the other back into the Airco makes no sense to me and in some ways is even worse.


I think he is about to depart soon for pastures new, leaving a legacy here would appeal to his sense of fun lets not give him the chance ..........
