It would make the KC unsustainable I would have thought. Even if we went in with you RL plays far too few games to make it worthwhile.

Its a threat from the Allams to say if you dont sell us the KC we'll shut the stadium down.

The allams will buy the KC now and we'll be in a poor position IMO. If it does happen then part of the deal should be a new, purpose built 20k stadium for us with the proceeds

or the east riding council could refuse them planning permission

Scaremongering me thinks.....

Pressure on the council to sell IMO

Don't like these tactics from anyone to be fair it's just threats. I hope the council tell him were to go.

If the Allams buy the KC, hopefully they take Hull FC on as well!

The article says both Hull and KR will be offered the chance to go there.

Can't see this happening, can you imagine the people of Melton wanting this? The hassle of getting there? He speaks about opening an old railway halt (sounds familiar), but that won't happen. The only benefit I could see is that it MAY be marginally easier for away fans?

That will never happen

Which part?

Firstly he's never going to do it, he's been snapped with a piece of paper out the back of his offices in Melton and the HDM and RH have given him some press time because they have nothing better to discuss!

He will get his way in the end and buy the KC, you lot will be safe from being given the boot but you'll have to be on your best behaviour or he will have no hesitation to give you the boot (unless of course you have a written agreement...etc which I am sure you will given Plumber isn't there anymore!).

If Hull were to be relocated with the funds raised from the sale of the KC then an equal amount would have to be given to HKR. The money in the first place was meant for the whole city and the stadium does provide that however the council got away with offering us a place there in the first place but as any new stadium would be for FC alone then we'd be well within our rights to ask for a cut of the dollar.

Nothing is going to change other than ownership though so wont be any need for anyone to get their nickers in a twist!

Somebody needs to get their calculators out here.

KC built 10 years ago at a cost of £46 millions. Allam now reckons he can buy the land and build a "Sporting Village" including a greater capacity stadium for £14 millions more? Get real!

Where would the Allams raise the money? How many people would be willing to invest in a 40,000 capacity stadium for a team that has spent all of two seasons in the Premier League, operating from a cost-base considerably less than the one proposed by the Allams? Let alone attempting to get a mortgage to fund the deal.

Is the site the old Capper Pass works? If so, has it been declared free of contaminants yet?

Hang on, you refused to use the stadium, you're now getting money from the council to improve your own - but you'd want a cut? kcuf ffo.

Don't think it would bother us if he did buy the stadium, we have an agreement.
Also, some of the Allams family are FC pass holders, so I doubt he would "damage" the club. Maybe he'll take us on aswell!
