i agree, saw this coming

They can put it to a referendum if they want.

What they can't do is avoid their legal responsibilities as guardians of the City of Hull purse. They simply cannot, legally state that "it's what the public wanted"

No matter how rabid they may support the dark side, once the City's legal team have a word in their shell-like, this could get punted into the long grass for many years to come.

Was there a point to this post?

Hope you're right.

The people of Hull should be told" IF"He buy the KC Stadium and the land around the Stadium
the money CANNOT be spent on Council services ..People I have spoken to think it will be put towards jobs Like street cleaning, Schools /Hospitals all local services ..Told them it's not going to happen and that the money can only be spent on like for like

the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning: the irony of her reply, “How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend.

As Standee, Kosh & I have said: all elected councilors are legally obligated to serve their electorate, without prejudice and without personal favour. This lot are rank amateurs when compared to Poulson or Porter and none of them have the financial clout of the aforementioned and they still ended up in the dock.

I actually think that our board are playing a clever game at the moment and would be best served by keeping their traps shut and letting this charade run its natural course.

Very much so - no reason whatsoever for any public reaction from Hull FC.

To be honest I find this situation a little unnerving. It’s kind of like when you climb into a freshly filled bath and for that first instantaneous second you cannot tell if it is really, really hot or really, really cold. As one wise man once said ‘all that glitters is certainly not gold’. The purchase of Hull City as a ‘lever’ to gaining ownership of the stadium seems to be the crux of the issue – confirmed recently by threats of moving the club to another venue and putting a strangle hold on the council’s stadium revenue if the sale was vetoed. For someone doing things for the people of Hull he has a very aggressive way of going about this. If this does not set alarm bells ringing I do not know what will.

This brings us to the issue of ground sharing with our neighbours from across the river. Anyone who believes that Hull KR will remain at Craven Park in the long term when the KC is in the hands of the Allams is deluded. As astute a businessman as Mr Allam is, he will want to maximise his return on his investment by greater use of the KC. We have already had Neil Hudgell openly saying in a recent HDM article that he would be open to the suggestion of Hull KR relocating to the KC Stadium with its superior facilities. And believe you me this will happen. And how exactly would that work for ‘home derby matches’ with shared ownership? Season pass holders not being able to sit in their own seat? Or with the regular friends around them? First come first served? A mess waiting to happen.

I personally like the way things stand at present. The KC Stadium is a community stadium paid for by the flotation of Kingston Communication built for the people of Hull. Its current owners (the council) will never go bust in the sense of the word and the ground will always be safe and our club will have a stable future. To the Allams I can see it being nothing more than a £44 million collateral asset sat on an ever expanding balance sheet, with long term investment & financial gain being the outcome.

I hope I am wrong and and I hope his motives are for the good of the people of Hull, but something somewhere does not ring true. I have followed my club whole-heartedly for the majority of my life. I love my club and would hate for anything untoward to spoil its future.

The Stadium belongs to the people of Hull and should remain so.

You are right they were a big help when I was a part of a buy out team with Hull City Transport ..We did play apart in getting the Bus Company sold but they played a big part in seeing we got it right it now belongs to Stagecoach and the rest is History now ..All the time the City Councilors kept in the back ground We reported back to the leader of the Council

We have not even reached the first hurdle yet and people are getting all of a dither



The opening shots in a war of words from the Allam PR machine, he knows he is up against it and hopes by taking on board a few red and white chancers he will increase his chances.

Wait and see how much he offers first



:lol

The current Labour group are not stupid and there IS NO PRESSURE TO SELL THE KC for any finacial or political reasons. Any money raised from any imaginary or otherwise sale could not be used to subsidise care homes, school teachers, music academys, Hull truck or reduce the local tax.

I also see in his plans that the protected great crested newt colony is get its own special close to the stadium is to get its own playing pitches looking at the plans ...............
