Surely if the Planning is put in place any NEW owner would then use it. Council don't have to build anything (as a house with planning in place for extension)

Just remember there was a very BIG caveat to Allam's offer of £500k extra support. It was only offered if Labour walked away from trades union support. So what would you do: accept a promise of a "gift" from a certifiable loon but walk away from £8m+ funding from grass-roots supporters, or stick with the status quo?

The extra offer is in addition to the extra £200,000 and the extra £300,000 donations he has already made, though. He is already a significant Labour party benefactor.

You're right that the additional £500k is a no-brainer and won't happen, though.

You're a card you are, How you can equate my comments to being self congratulatory is bizarre in the extreme, All I can think is that after the council had responded making you look quite foolish, you just went looking for another front to throw insults, I am a director of the Humber Sports Partnership that fund a lot of the clubs that use the Arena, and I make a comment about "being on their side" and you liken it to "Do you hear the people sing" from Les Miserables, it seems the only person on here shouting "Look at me" is you". You really need to take Kosh's advice and leave out the personnal attacks.

Quote Mrs Barista="Mrs Barista"Indeed. Disappointing. www.theguardian.com/football/dav ... ett-tigers'" The article you quote doest spell out the fact Bartlett mortgaged Hull City AFC's user agreement with the SMC, not the stadium lease. So nothing to do with FC Dont forget he also sold 3 years season tickets to ticketmaster

Odd as i recall in one of Allams public rantings that he personally paid off the morgages on the SMC user agreement in qestion in order to save the club blah blah.

So as i undertsand, there are no morgages. CBA to drag up an article, its just too early in the morning

Do you reckon he allows Trade Unionism in his chugger factory?

I've already said I'm really pleased the council are doing their job. This is the third time I think.

Just to clarify your earlier comment, how many millions did Adam Pearson borrow against the SMC? The Guardian link posted referenced Bartlett.

Just read Stephen Brady was on Burnsy's show this morning. Any new insight?

He aint happy. The Allams are liars. Legal action going ahead for the breach of the terms of the lease.

Just that Burnsey on about goes back to council not selling the Stadium.
Brady said he never offered any money or a bid
Burnsey on about Allam still wants apology from that meeting ???
