Quote: JACK DETH "To be fair to HCC would the people of Hull be happy seeing tens of thousands of pounds being used on legal fees and expensive lawyers, when services across the city are being cut to the bone?'"
I would. Because the ultimate cost to the city will be the loss of not just Airco, but the KC will become out of bounds as City's ground only (no more community facility (and precious little now, I know)), there will probably be no Hull FC - a massive part of Hull's heritage, not just speaking as a fan - these three things belong to the public (I know Hull FC don't, but we are a community club with massive presence in the city) and amount to a lot more than £50,000.
Another question (being thick again, sorry), if the funds were donated to enable the council to fight the case, would the council legally be able accept the donation?
