You're bang on the money there. Most of these billionairre foreigners who are buying up all our football clubs are only generally interested in clubs that own their own stadium. Would make Hull City a much more attractive option to many parties. Don't worry though Hull fans, you could share Craven Park with us, it'll be like the San Siro with AC and Inter

Cleared the debts rumoured to be 21 million
Bought them for a rumoured 40 million
I sincerely doubt they would want to spend another 40-50 million on the stadium and then the money for the expansion they are rich but not that rich.
And as it has already been stated I'm fairly sure that there are covenants restricting the sale of the stadium.

I'd be happy to let the stadium be sold. The council could do with the cash to sort some of the problems out.

No, ta!!

If, and that'a a big IF, the KC stadium was to be sold to the private sector, then it should be to an individual or party impartial to both Hull City AFC and Hull FC.

However, this is Hull City Council we are talking about and they and a certain Adam Pearson did a good job stiching us up when forming the SMC, so anything is possible.

Wouldnt want this to happen atall, I think we would soon be stitched up.
I personally think city fans are deluded when it comes to the Allams, all this 'present to the city' stuff theyve fed through the media. The Allams are business people and I am certain they didnt get where they are from being the nice guys the HDM purveys them to be.
Football is a cut throat business, and it is well known there is no money in owning football clubs. So why have the Allams even bothered?

If only HCC were an extremely good authority.



I'm not concerned about a prospective sale for the reasons outlined by Standee earlier. I have however had a good laugh reading the comments on the Hull Daily Mail website.

Eh! I dont like or watch rugby or football but i'd like to buy the stadium. Come on they are paying £40 mill for the club so want the ground as well. even I would see that as a logical move.

No they didn't. We were offered a role in running the stadium and declined.

Didn't Shane Richardson and Adam Pearson both agree that the SMC should have been independant of both clubs, only for Pearson to jump at the chance of running the SMC a few months later when Richardson had gone back to Oz?

I may be wrong about the events that lead to us not being represented on the SMC, either way, we were initially stiched up when the SMC was set up imo.

It appears to me that you know people who SAY they are connected to FC, they obviously know very little about the covenants on the KC Stadium, the agreements that were made to release the land (which was donated by the Council), the KC Stadium is highly unlikely to be sold, I'm not saying never, but certainly not over 24 hours courtesy of some poor journalism and even poorer trolling.
