Quote: carl_spackler "I'm going to have one more go at this and then I'm going to give up, because you're either incapable of grasping the point or deliberately choosing not to to suit your point. It's fundamentally flawed to state that Hull City would/should pay less rent at a market rate by quoting examples WHO HAVE BEEN PUBLICLY CRITICISED FOR NOT PAYING THE MARKET RATE (West Ham and Swansea). Man City pay roughly the same, it seems (in rent), but they also paid for the corporate areas, bars and restaurants, are helping fund the expansion and campus, and the stadium also makes a lot of money from other activities.'"
The market rate Hull City AFC will pay for renting the KC per match will be the same as what the Council will charge Hull FC. That is likely to be less than the £4.3 million paid in 2013-14.
If the SMC is making losses now, and that is unlikely to change anytime soon, you can see why Assem Allam might want rid of the lease.
