The thing is, public assets have to be sold at market value. Anyone party to a decision that loses public money can be held personally liable under a surcharge. Can't see any politician wanting a 35m surcharge.

The council would also look foolish if a Super League club which had a tenancy of a "community" stadium found itself homeless.

Business as usual, then.

Not if the Allams negotiate a referendum, and the public agree.

I'm not sure that's correct. I doubt the council can ignore the law regardless of the result of a referendum.

A referendum would exonorate any individual from personal prosecution.

it would be much better for us to have our own ground it surely cant cost to much to knock up a stadium like warrington have proper little rugby ground and it would put an end to the ridiculous ticket prices and rent hull fc are paying at the kc and we would be able to get a great atmosphere back just like the good old days at boulevard. we can only dream of course though lol

If the council were to give the land away. Probably around 20 million

Have you tried contacting Tony Larvin? Rolling in it apparently.

OMFG...All this ridiculous speculation because Holdsworth could, nt practice.
Bring on the daft trolls.
You could, nt make this one up.
Is this the Drovers board?

as much as I detest what is happening, are people really going to blame the Allams if we lose on goal kicks?

on that same basis we can't expect to win away games, afterall, we can't practice kicking there, or Old Trafford, or Wembley, or the Etihad Stadium, may as well pack up now.

Tickle never had a problem.

There could easily have been a justified reason for not allowing Holdsworth onto the pitch.

we don't even know, for a fact, that it happened.

AP did state at a meeting on Monday night ."that the Allams were being clever and under cutting him on a lot of business matters .AP did say let him get on with it lol

It would have to be a sale at market value

Im really sick off all this cack to do with the stadium and the Allams. Perhaps we should go play at Grimsby instead

Or Gateshead

Just cos you got your lucky with your peppercorn rent in you RENTED stadium

Do FC fans really think that the Allams have a vendetta against your club?

No, not the club, the owner maybe, but definately not the club

The Allams have a 'vendetta' against Pearson. Pearson owns the club. At the very least we're likely to cop some collateral damage. And I believe that we're inconvenient for their future plans so anything that might make us consider moving out will be considered a win.

It is true and it wasn't the grounds staff that stopped him either and although I know that you don't ever believe them anyway but its in tonight's Hull Daily Mail, and judging how running scared they are of a certain gentleman its hardly likely they would print it if it were not! Oh and Danny Tickle had a practice at the start of every season at the KC before the first games took place. Feel free now to slag me off!!

I agree. The council can't give away assets worth millions of pounds, referendum or no referendum.

Mick Crane is right here. All the referedums in the world wouldn't stop the Government putting a block on an authority selling off cheap a capital project that it had financed with funds that had to be released and agreed by Central Government in the first place. Local authorities can't just spend capital receipts wherever they come from without Government permission and when they get it they have to ensure that they get full market value back when they sell up!
