Quote: Chris71 "Who mentioned the Stadium in terms of generating profits? What I was saying was that if the Stadiums potential was unlocked in terms of other uses other than Hull FC & Hull City fixtures this could be used to offset the operational & upkeep costs, reducing the burden to both clubs, the SMC and Council.
The upkeep required with more use would actually be marginal and any extra costs incurred should/would be added to the price for its use/hire.
It's also not about 'trying to fix it by relying on concert promoters or property developers or suchlike won’t make much difference because those people want the profits from their activities', it is simply about improving/increasing its revenue stream to offset running costs. In simplistic terms instead of just having 2 parties having to eat 2 big pieces of a pie you have 4, 5, 8, 12, the pie would remain largely the same size but each party has a lot less to eat than just 2.'"
I’m somewhat dubious about the amount of potential there is to unlock, but setting that aside…
You are talking about profits… it’s just that you’re immediately converting them into a discount for Hull FC (and City). Realistically, Hull FC are going to be back of the queue behind management and ownership.
Or, if Hull FC unlocked their potential and increased SMC revenue, then maybe they could offer more attractive deals to Bronski Beat or Kasabian or Little Mix.
