New Council Leader Steve Brady has arranged a meeting with Hull City's owner Assem Allam to discuss the future of the KC Stadium.

Mr Allam and his son Ehab want to create a £100 million sports village, including a hotel, facilities for tennis, squash and gymnastics, an Olympic-size swimming pool and a multi-storey car park, at the site of the KC.

There had been deadlock between the Allams and the previous Liberal Democrats administration under leader Carl Minns, with Mr Allam accusing the council of being unreceptive.

But Cllr Brady confirmed a meeting will take place on Tuesday, May 24.


He said[iWhat are your thoughts on this.

Would the proposed plans increase your pass sales/ attract fans?

Would an increase in capacity have a detrimental affect on your atmosphere ?

Do you welcome Allam ?, he was at CP yesterday with Hudge , i personally want him nowhere near RL in this city.[/i

I've been told it all hinges on what rovers want to vacate CP and play at the KC

I have a bad feeling about it all to be honest

He'll deffo get the KC and we'll deffo get shafted at some point in the future. Luckily the council are developing their other superleague stadium

Allams were at Caravan Park yesterday apparently - hope they paid to get in - lol

could be brill for us ,we could end up with the best training and preparation ground in the country ,this helps attract players and coaches ,why worry the more superb the KC becomes the better for us in my mind

Suprised that nobody (unless I have missed it) hasnt commented on the other part of this story from Radio Humberside this morning that they believe AA is going to invest in Hull KR despite previously saying he didnt want to favour either side.
If true I would be suprised they wanted that information to come out especially if this does end up going to a public vote (which seems democratic in one sense but a total cop out by the council leader in another so he dosent have to make a hard and possibly unpopular descison).

And around 2 hours 27 in

Watch and wait ..................

This is not cut and dried as people seem to think it is

The council should sell the stadium, and use the money to build us a new ground similar to St Helens' (with standing) and buy/renovate Craven Park. They then still get two teams paying rent and have 3 better facilities in the city, with some money to spare.

City can do what they want then and be of no concern to us. FC and KR can get on with their lives in council run stadia of a premier standard and maybe play big derby games at the KC "neutral" ground.

Excellent idea!!

Well considering the council can only use the proceeds for similar projects, that would be a great idea.

Sell it for £40m+, knock us a stadium together for £15-£20m ish at the boulevard. DONE!!!

Interesting that, i know Allam & Hudge are very good friends ,so who knows.
He must however be deluded if like in his past interviews he thinks the two clubs would merge , the rivalry is fantastic .
personally i think Allam will end up getting the KC stadium , which surely can only be a good thing for Hull FC.

I've long advocated this. City can expand the ground, and we can get one that suits our needs.

One thing I won't accept, is KR moving to the KC. They had their chance. If the owners of City also invest in KR, that puts us in a bad position. I don't expect it'd go down well in East Hull either.

You voted Labour in. On your heads be it!!!!!!
