Hey I never said anybody I knew was an expert on anything. They do however have close contact with people who DO know what's happening and ARE experts.

You honestly don't believe that people like JR haven't got a good idea of what's going on and what could happen? They have their own legal teams too you know.

Information like this soon finds it's way through the organisation, just like at any other big company eg Smith and Nephew. Their staff have known what was revealed in today's paper months ago. What makes Hull's staff any different?

OK, lets start at the beginning, you're a troll.

actually, that kind of covers the middle and the end of it too.

run along and talk about your club, leave FC to those of us who have a vested (positive) interest.

That's quite separate from the initial sale of Poorhouse Lane too

Was I having a go, I was merely stating that on a £43 million layout, a return of 47k is bad for the ratepayers of Hull, whichever team you follow. Do you think its acceptable that someone has trousered millions on the back of no personal outlay, I wasn't suggesting for one minute that FC have not paid there way, in fact with the over 7.5k deal and the rent I reckon they will have shelled out 47k a week.

Indeed. An inconvenient truth.

1-100 is may favourite KR stat, wasn't that wht they paid in the pound to their creditors?

You could say the same about The Guildhall, City Hall, Costello, East Park, Ferens Art Gallery and every museum in the city. How much do any of them contribute?

Slight difference in a £43 million stadium that makes money by the bucket, even if we had 30% of it I bet it would be a shed load that could be utilised on much needed spending by the council. I don't want it sold, I want it to bring in cash for the good of the city, but if it is sold even for the original outlay its the equivilant to over 7,300 years of returns at current return rates. Even you as a blinkered B&W cannot believe the ratepayers have had a good deal (this included FC fans as well) with what has been returned so far.

If they wanted to 'give back to the people of hull' why 14,000 off by kicking them out? Aren't family members fans/season pass holders at hull fc?

Absolute tosh. FC and City pay a commercial rent, which I know is an alien concept to a Rovers supporter benefitting from a 250 year peppercorn lease. City make a loss and FC a small profit. What are you suggesting here, that FC and City pay a rent over a commercial rate?

Fair do's. As I said I wasn't 100% sure on the events that lead to us not been represented on the SMC, and it seems we can only have ourselves to blame if you are correct.

However, not having reprecentation on the SMC shouldn't open the gates to Hull FC been treated differently to the other tennants of the stadium, which is certainly what happened in the early days.

At the time of the KC opening, a family friend who at that time was a duel Hull City and Hull FC season pass holder encountered some strange goings on. As the KC opened part way through the football season, he went to the KC to pay his money to be able to park in the south stand car park. He paid by cheque and was asked to make this payable to Hull City AFC.

Before the start of the super league season, he went back to the KC to pay for the same car parking spot for the duration of Hull Fc's season, again paying by cheque, only this time he had to make it payable to the SMC. He questioned this and explained that for the football season his money went to Hull city for the same service and he was told that there must have been a mistke as it should go to the SMC.

Later that summer he was back at the KC, wanting to secure the same car parking pass for the football season. I presume that you have already guessed, but I'll tell you anyway, he was asked to make his cheque payable to Hull City AFC. He refused, kicked up a stink and got a full refund on his Hull City season pass and has never been to see them since.

There may be a simple explanation for this, and i'm not suggesting it still goes on, but would this have happened had the council run the stadium themselves or at least got someone independant of both clubs to manage it for them?

Call me paranoid if you like, but I would be very worried if someone connected soley with Hull City was allowed to purchase the KC. Hopefully, because of the reasons you have pointed out earlier in this thread, that won't happen
