That is twice in as many days you have exposed my posts

My point is he/she will be required to do more work relating to football than rugby if they play double the amount of games to us.

Almost 50 grand a match. Shame we didn't have the cash to build our own place like saints. I reckon they will be flying financially in a few years. Anyone know how much their new stadium is costing them? It looks superb

What exactly is the issue here?

Allam has simply chosen to put money into two sports clubs. Hull City, and to a far lesser extent Hull KR.

He is not obligated to put money into Hull FC or any other sports club, just as David Lloyd wasn't obligated to invest in Hull KR!

What is the problem?

Trolls generally

Our "problem" is, unlike you, we have read all of his comments on just how much assistance he gives Hull FC. Now if you're too thick to comprehend this or simply too dumb to appreciate the background, may I suggest you butt out of the conversation?

The fact Allam has said in the media that he has helped Hull FC by letting them use the facilities at the stadium is the main reason for Mrs B's post. Nothing to do with the fact he has not invested in us as a club. I for one don't want a penny of his money involved in Hull Fc.

Correct. Allam has implied he has assisted Hull FC in effectively gifting us use of the KC. My point is that on a SMC income per ticket basis, it would seem that we are paying our way, rather then freeloading as implied. There is, I suppose, a related point that Mr Allam claims £1m+ is appropriate specifically to compensate Rovers for what he has gifted FC. Allam only took over in November, so I'd be interested in understanding how we've accrued benefits from him of this magnitude in 6 months. Either that, or it's another example of inconsistency of statement and sentiment from him. He can, naturally, do what he likes with his money if he wants to support other clubs, but I just think to state we're freeloading at the KC is probably untrue and unnecessarily emotive, and arguably conveniently so.

i believe we keep the first 7000 of the gate and anything after this is split 50/50 with SMC this deal was set up by shane richardson on the basis we would average 10,000 crowds but i also believe we get a pretty poor return on food and drinks but to pay£ 630.000 for a rugby team is to much and if mr allam does want to help HULL FC then he should look into reducing this cause SMC is making good money from us and city it does not cost 2million to run the stadium for FC and city on match days they also get good revenue from other souces like rents from offices and the pitches and indoor area

You believe wrong my friend. The original agreement was renegotiated a while back now.

I'm a little lost. How can Mr Allam claim to be gifting us use of the KC facilities when the facilities are property of KUHCC?

TBH that's a fair point but he is, I believe, chairman of the SMC (?) so effectively manages the stadium. Although him "gifting" us the use of the KC when he doesn't own it is a bit of a leap of faith. A bit like saying I "gift" him the use of my seat there because he once looked towards it. Its not my seat in the same way it's not his stadium.

I don't think 600K a year is too bad to shell out in the grand scheme of things, other SL teams will be paying far more just to keep their grounds up and running. And at least we can budget fairly accurately for the rent costs, and not have any unexpected costs like roofs caving in, boilers breaking down etc.

Saints new ground is costing around 24million.

Indeed. The rules seem to be that he's allowed to claim what he likes without challenge, critique or even mild eyebrow-raising by our local "journalists". Just print what he says with a nice big headline. Lovely.

My thoughts also. I think that the deal with the Saints ground is a lease too, albeit a very long one.

He sounds like our very own Fidel Castro.
