New (rovers supporting?) council leader says there will be a referendum on whether the KC should be sold to allam. There are 20k city fans (at least) who will probably vote yes

Why anyone would want him to buy it and do a Ridsdale I'll never know.

he's a 65 year old socialist war horse who still believes everything is Thatchers' fault, he's irrelevant.

serously, 65, shows how progressive Hull is

He is far more relevant than a total muppet like you. He is the new leader of the City Council. Which mighty position of political office do you hold?

he will be gone in 12 months, I wont, and my occupation is widely known by relevant people, maybe you should challenge me on something you know about, Hollyoaks maybe?

The number of City fans is irrelevant. If they word a referendum question intelligently they'll get a massive yes vote from the general public.

To be fair, being leader of a provincial City Council is not holding 'mighty political office' and neither is it any measure of relevance.

How do you work that one out?

That is the major problem as far as I can see.

Quite who will oversee the wording of a referendum question, I have no idea but it is imperative that the voters of Hull have all the facts at their disposal, especially regarding what any money raised can be used for.

Answer to the opening question - YES.

I'd hope any possible sale of the KC will include some form of legal protection for Hull FC, don't we have some sort of leashold agreement in excess of a 100 years?

Didn`t know being 65 was a crime.

And also would any Referendum include people who live in the East Riding - Pass Holders of Hull FC and Hull City - and before any-one jumps in bought webought KC Shares and have KC phone lines - so I think we are very relevant. As for being 65 Standee my old man reaches that age this year on your analysis Im worried- get the wheel chaire out -

Sorry Grammar theacher

Total muppet.lol.

If we had the chance of a new purpose built ground,allowing Allam to have the KC would people be happy?

A referendum on the future of the K.C. Stadium?
I suppose it would generate more interest than the Elections/Referendum this week as only two wards managed above 40% turnout to vote on something that will affect our lives for the next few years.

If it was at least 18k and had standing then yeah definitely! Won't happen though.

I'm worried.

The KC is the best thing that's happened to FC for decades. Hopefully, RLFC have as much say in this as AFC.

Even if fc agreed to depart the kc,i would imagine it would take a sizeable compensation fee,enough to build our own place.

We should vote yes though? Voting no, he decides to build a big stadium at Brantingham for City we are sole occupiers of the KC which will make it financially unviable. The I can only see things going down hill at the KC.

Vote yes he builds some extra stuff around the KC and keeps us in tennacy due to the extra revenue capacity may increase to 30k but no point in doing it any further should'nt alter things a great deal?

Or the council do a Jerry Maguire and say "Show me the money".

Allam craps himself and scuttles off back to his dreamworld.

God help me I am 70 I must be a right villian then

I've said before, elsewhere, that IMO the only reason the Allams rescued Hull City was to give themselves chance to own the KC and develop the land around there.

The publication of the HDM with them on the front, purporting to be holding plans up of a new stadium out at Melton, was laughable IMO and an attempt to put the possible sale in the minds of the council.

Hull City Council spent £47million building that stadium, it's less than ten years' old, and I bet they'd only get around a third of that in the sale.

I do worry when one of the first things a new incoming council leader says is "We'll let the people of Hull decide whether to sell the KC or not."

Sounds to me like he fancies running a council with some cash to play with.

I didn't state being 65 is a crime, it isn't, but I have direct experience of local councillors/councils, it's always the dinosaurs that are in charge of the worst performing ones, Hull long suffered under Labour and yet the people have let them back in again.

We'll see what the next 12 months bring, I hope I am wrong about it being bad for Hull and HCC's emplyee's.

Brady has not committed to anything, including a referendum. All he has done is give a politicians answer which makes no firm promises. Quite sensible in this case as he has only just been elected and is unlikely to have the full facts. Lets see what happens after he has seen what Allam really is after and who is expected to pay.
