Quote: bonaire "Yet they were asking a potential buyer of Hull City 5m for the SMC on top of what the they valued Hull City at'"
And that £5M includes the debt no doubt, I wonder how much the Allams are taking as salaries from the SMC, either way it's clear from the state of the pitch and the stadium as a whole that they are deliberately and systematically running it down whilst accruing more debt.
The fact the council relinquished all overseeing of the stadium has bitten everyone in the behind, but the insidious and cowardly way the Allams' have acted is beyond reprehension. The KC could have been a proper community asset, something that contributed significantly whilst being at the very least cost neutral.
All of the issues that have cropped up are what makes people feel that we should move away and have our own stadium even if that is impossible. I like the stadium a lot, I think it is near perfect as a rugby stadium aside from maybe having some standing facility in the cop ends, the views are excellent for virtually everyone and the enclosed aspect makes it more inviting than open ended box stadiums as well as weather protection for fans IMO.
it's just massively frustrating and angering how things have panned out due to mismanagement and responsibility relinquishment.
