As a footnote to tonight Spare a thought too for the poor dissapointed and bemused souls who were taken on a guided tour of the KC Stadium by the ex players and who at the finale of the evening where taken to celebrate the greatest loose forward to ever play for the Club only to find that all the pictures of Johnny Whiteley had been removed from the Johnny Whitely suite that very afternoon and replaced by pictures of Hull City!!!

Nicked from another thread.......The Allams are making themselves look very very petty now.Doing this to 1 of Hulls finest sporting giants is utterly despicable and the mad sand-dancer will never achieve the status of Johnny Whiteley.The man is a complete and utter kn0b.

Find it incredible he'd stoop to this level. What, if anything, can be done? I'm up for writing y emails to the HDM or council, but doubt they'll be bothered.

'Sand-dancer'. Classy.

Just as classy as what he has done to Johnny Whiteley.

Two ex players who did the tour last night rang me to tell me about it. He'll of course say we should pay for the right to have them hung there but they were put there when the place was built and the Suite was named after our hero who is also a freeman of the City.

I know folks will say Wilfs off again and there are bigger things to worry about but add this to the Holdsworth stuff the YPI stuff and the fact that some may have noticed our flag has dissapeared as has our team picture from the foyer.

For me the picture stuff is rather like signing a contract for a furnished flat duly paying your rent for a few years before the landlord comes and takes your furniture away and charges you extra to lease it back!

Carry on Doctor.

True, but it's one option. I'm contacting some media types this afternoon.

First time post for me, been a long time voyeur. I had to have my say on this, it galls me!!!! I can confirm the photos of Gentleman John, have gone and have been missing for at least 3 weeks. Went to the Chamber of Commerce do and had a sly walk round, the staff said they were taken down and replaced with City photo some time earlier. The man should be brought to book, he treats it like his own little domain, apart from the official club badge on the front there is nothing to say FC play there.

Cant we get some sort of banners made for the sky cameras at the wire game or lets start a red card to allam campagne. We cant just sit back and take this
Mrs B Could probably come up with a beter idea .. ?

is terry gerraghty still head of the sports for the council? shouldnt we be going through somebody like him

the hdm are spineless when it comes to ayatollah assam!

I will raise this at cabinet on Monday as I believe he is overstepping the mark. This I believe is an attempt to force the councils hand, what might be helpful as a weapon for you is the localism bill, half way down the second page may be a way forward if he tries to force a sale. locality.org.uk/wp-content/uploa ... sm-Act.pdf I do support you on this.

Some answers:
1 No
2 No
3 No - edit Phil Webster as an unlikely latecomer



Originally the SMC was set up as a separate entity. But if you read the accounts, they claim the SMC is only a going concern because of the financial support provided by Hull City and Allamhouse. There is clear opportunity for the SMC to charge City what they like for having their photos in the KC with no impact on the Allams - it's left pocket - right pocket for them, then to charge us as a third party the same. It sucks, but I'm sure AP will have done what he can contractually. In my view only the council as owners can have any influence.

The banner is a good idea but will be confiscated. Doubt the City-loving HDM will get involved. I'll contact the League Express and Yorkshire Post, see if they're interested in the story.

They were the same with the previous dodgy regime, terrified of upsetting them in case they are denied access to the team/stadium. When they upped and left they stuck the boot in. As you say the HDM are spineless when it comes to investigating individuals like Allam

If people could keep any unjustified comments to themselves, I would be grateful.

I guess people will be able to confirm the truth of this tomorrow. I'll report on the Sterling/Kingston Suite

Thank you Phil. A question. If the SMC went into administration, would the existing arrangements be null and void? If so, and new arrangements were to be made, presumably the Allams could play hardball re their own terms. Such a shame a council gift, which has seen a resurgence in both teams' profile, is now being cynically used as a tool to drive the personal commercial agenda of an individual.

I'll double check the agar toilet.

I'll check the Sharm el Sheikh suite

I'm fed up of reading too so decided to join

I don't know what these Allams think are. Are they forgetting that its a shared stadium. At the time we moved there. City were in Div3 and we were still in SL obviously. But I'm pretty sure we treated them fairly.

It's a joke. If they want to hold control of the stadium then let them build their own.

If the SMC were to go bang, then I am of the opinion it would be re-tendered and re-negotiated, I can't see how Mr Allam could play hardball as it would leave City homeless, but Adam could well be offered it as he has a record for delivery with the SMC, I have just spoken to the Leader who intends to get Darryl Stephenson to call Mr Allam in the morning.

If this behavior by City's owners is true it is a sad day for the City, when Icons like Johnny can be so shabbily treated, John is a personnal friend and has done more for this city than all the millionaires put together.

Very good, please keep us informed.

Am I right in thinking that Hull FC get nothing from food and drink sales at the KC and this all goes to the SMC? If so I would suggest a boycott of buying anything at the KC that does not directly benefit Hull FC.
