Quote: Obadiah "the deal is also similar to Swansea City's which has been criticised by the EU. If the lease was terminated by the Council any future lease would have to be profitable. However its probable the Allams would want to pay the same rent as Hull FC for use of the stadium. If you rent office space you'd expect to pay the same price per square foot as the other tenants unless you got extras in the tenancy. The rent wouldn't be dependant on how much profit you made.'"
There's no rent payable though, is there? There are central costs of maintenance, utilities, stewarding, ticketing and so on. Many of these vary with customer volumes, not simply occasions of use, surely?
