Take a wild guess

Can't believe how many people who should know better have been taken in by Assem Allam and his pipe dream.

Seems to me he wants/needs the KC stadium to help fund his dream and just wants HCC to simply hand it over as a contribution to his sports village!! Then he'll turn round and say the sport village is no longer viable due to the level of ASBO's etc and sit there laughing as he has got a £50M stadium for sweet f.a.

If it is a gift to the City why do the Council need to make a contribution?? His gift to the city spiel is just bo!!ox as proved by his 'I dont want to build an extension on a rented house'. HCC have even said they would look at extending the stadium if they got to a level where it was sustainable and viable to do so.

Let him take his ball home and build a Stadium in Melton as my guess is that won't happen either.

he'd never get planning permission, the land is prime for housing too.

Whats coming next?
The East Hull Sports Village?

"Welcome to Poorhouse Park - home of The Tigers"

Well if he asks for his money back anything is possible.

spoke to a market trader i know. He told me they pay £28 for 10 foot if registerd 32 if not CAR BOOTS pay £7.50 good earner for wastland well done hull cc for not letting them have it

The Council won`t let him build anything in Hull.
Why do you think he keeps threatening about building in the East Riding at Melton.

Sportstalk should be interesting tonight.

I might be a lone voice from the Rovers supporter base, but I'm 100% behind the council on this. Allam comes across as a total nutjob. Why on earth should our elected councillors give away the most expensive asset they own?

Fewey is on now, missing the point by a country mile.

You think?

He's just the newspaper equivalent of a shock jock. Thick as 2 short planks and just seeking attention.

He's stated again today he wants Rovers playing at the KC. More money to the SMC if they do, of course.

If he recalls his £1M debt he'll get them there, too.

Thats not what he said. He said that he asked Rovers to move to the KC (past tense). Hudgell said no. This was before the £1million quid loan.

You're behind the times, I'm afraid. He's reiterated the desire again, today, just confirmed on Sportstalk. White and Gollum sounded a bit sheepish as they confirmed that's what he'd said.

Hudgells puppet

Feel a bit sorry for Gollum in all this. He's the only one trying to be balanced and I can tell he has massive reserves about Allam. The rest of them just ignore him and carry on screeching hysterically in outrage on behalf of the Egyptian.

Gollum's probably sceptical because he can see Allam's full evil plans for his precious Rovers at the KC via the recall of his "loan"

I can see him pressing for this now his plans have been scuppered and he needs bums on seats recoup some of the dosh he's just p$$ed away on city.

But it will be SMC that make more money if Rovers were to move in, not Hull City or Allam.

I'm delighted that the council has seen sense and not let the stadium slip into private ownership. Whilst they own it, it is secure and cannot be borrowed against. Can you imagine the mess everything would be in now if Bartlett and Duffen had been able to mortgage the KC?



It doesn't bear thinking about.

Allam owns the SMC. It's his only income stream via the KC while City remain unprofitable.

you beat me too it

I would be happy to see Rovers spend a season at the KC whilst the building work is on-going at Craven Park. He might even deduct the rent we pay him off the million quid we are going to owe him.

It'll be his only income stream from the KC when he moves City to Melton.

What building work?

I wouldn't be, but I can see it. The only thing before was our right to object as co-tenants but now I can't see AP objecting.

Do keep up Coddy. It's all here, April 2008.

You already owe it, you fool. Open your eyes. Allam is as bad a piece of news for Rovers as he is for us. And ultimately City, although their fans, more understandably, are as blind as you. Once you're at the KC Allam won't let you go while he owns the smc. And while he effectively owns Rovers. Perhaps you can get Hudge to run a bit faster after the ambulances to raise the funds to get him off your back.

Why don't you think building work is continuing at CP? It all seemed to grind to a halt at about the same time as Hudgell got into bed with Allam...
