No all the food and drinks goes to a company owned by AP's other half. Something he did before leaving hull city

I would like to add my thanks, if you can advise us of anything constructive we can do that would be appreciated too.

Thanks for the clarification, I can continue to by my lad an extortionately priced hot dog!

I was in the Kingston Suite last night and there are no FC pictures in there any more.

The food and drinks are wholly owned by the SMC, the Allems, in effect. Pearsons wife did previously own that side but it was sold on by AP when he left for Derby.

can somebody please confirm for definate who gets the profit from the food and drink at the stadium? as if its the allams, whether through the smc or whatever, after this latest outrage I dont want to be spending my money on anything that would benefit them!!!

Thought it was a company called EMC Ltd??

I've heard from numerous people and very good sources that AP split the food outlets from smc for when he left so that he still got income and that his wife still holds the "company".

Honest question , Don't smc change the "décor" to coincide with the current teams season ?. Ours has only just begun and citys is well into their season .

That (I think) was in the original agreement but starting from last season, that has slowly began to change to the point now where you will find nothing of Hull FC in any of the public areas of the KC thanks to Mr Allem throwing an almighty strop.

EMC is Event Management Catering Ltd who are based in Uxbridge. I don't know if they run the concessions though...

FC Voices, have in the past had meetings with representatives of the EMC regarding the food outlets around the ground, so unless its changed hands in the last 2 years or so I think its still the EMC. IIRC they have other outlets at other rugby grounds.

Just to make it clear to everyone, as I said in my first and earlier post, when I had a sly walk around the KC a few weeks ago, I did not find one single FC photo in the Kingston, Sterling and Whiteley Suites.

It's a slap in the face for the whole of the city. Johnny Whitely is an absolute legend in Hull and one of the finest individuals you are ever likely to meet. He has influenced the lives of countless kids in the city and is one of the few who is genuinely reveered by both sets of rugby fans. The scumbag allams should hang their heads in shame.

It is a disgrace! credit to Phil Webbo for offering his help to address this..

i agre good one phil thanks for your surport

Alas I'm not sure that shame is an emotion that said Egyptians would understand. All this from a man who supposedly wants to give something back to the people of Hull. What a diabolical situation created by a disgraceful act.

Thanks to Phil Webbo for your input - this needs to be sorted and help from the council will be needed.

Disgusting lack of respect, I think they may have shot themselves in the foot here, not realising the high regard Whitely is held in at both sides of the city.

Absolutely. However wheels are in motion.

I wouldn't have a clue how to go about it personally, but it would be good if someone could organise an online petition to present to the council to show the strength of feeling against the muppets running the "community" stadium.

I've contacted the local media (although I know the HDM have been pro-Allam) and the trade press, and most importantly Phil Webbo is going at the HCC angle.

Get some protests going outside the ground (Arab Springs), and invite the TV crews etc..

I've contacted Yorkshire Post and League Express.

Im sure Twitter and some strong hashtags will sort this situation

From an outsider looking in,what problem does this Allam have with Hull FC,I take it he owns Hull City
