Apart from the extent of the funding for 1 and 2, if any, and the bill landing on FC's doormat, then yes, that is what I'm suggesting. Whether it is right in the moral sense is another matter.

I understand that the rent for FC is fixed and dependent upon its attendances.

Care to give us the detail of what rent City pay the SMC?

To the year ending 30 June 2014 £4.3 million. Although that may include income other then renting the KC.

how is it determined what City pay?

I think its the same as FC. A percentage of the gate receipts. I don't know the formula but it's what I understand to be the case from previous discussions on the not606 board.

@angus_young61: £300,000 donation Labour by Assem Allam last month, according to new @ElectoralCommUK figures.

Interesting context to the sudden change in visible council appetite for action?

Had a feeling something like the had happened. Local Labour councillors under orders from central office.

It stinks. Allam is about as far as you can get form being a Labour supporter - his donations have completely unassociated ulterior motives, imo. Shame on the Labour party for entertaining him, he represents everything they traditionally stand against.

Just shows you that rich people & politicians still live in eachothers pockets, what a corrupt society we live in!

Circumstantial perhaps, but Webbo's gone AWOL too after being pretty outspoken and unequivocal about the legal action. Here they sang about tomorrow, but tomorrow never came?

It's no good praying to the powers that be....
'Cause they wont shake the roots of the money tree....

Well, that's true enough. Would appreciate the courtesy of confirmation (or otherwise) though.
