Quote Edenmain="Edenmain"I bet it will be packed out, horses and anything horsey are huge hobbies in our area. Maybe not in the Centre of Hull but head out into the East Riding and there are stables everywhere.'"
you'd be surprised at how many people who do horsey things are not in the least bit interested in polo, equestrian events yes, Polo, very much in the minority even in the dedicated horse world.
TBF if the pitch is going to be ripped up then it's an ideal time to host it, if they get more than a thousand paying punters I'd be surprised.
The thing I'm curious about is how many people would need to come through so it isn't a loss, or is that another part of Allam's ploy to run the SMC at a paper 'loss' year in year out?
I'd suggest that the little profits in the past and 'losses' of more recent times are entirely due to very effective accounting to the huge benefit of the owners of SMC and certainly no-one else.
