Not sure if he’d want to take it on but surely Adam would be ideally placed and has the background to take on the running of the SMC on behalf of both parties. Depends whether Acun would allow someone from outside his organisation to hold such a position

A bit more on the story here

I imagine their new CEO Jim Rodwell and Adam Pearson will know each other to some extent as Rodwell has held similar CEO roles at Notts County, Shorpe, Sunderland and Peterborough.

I think it's safe to say that the signs are looking far more positive under the new regime than the previous owners. Let's hope Adam can get around the table and form a relationship which will be far more beneficial to us and the overall feeling around the place. Be good to get the council onboard too and hopefully breed some positivity as that will benefit everyone.

Someone put on FB that Adam Pearson was sat with Acun at the Blackburn game. No idea whether true

Do you mean sharing some Turkish Delight?

That as well.

Interesting City's guy mentions about FC sharing the costs of repairs etc for the stadium.

Could end out more expensive than it currently is, staying at the MKM

Certainly.

Don't see any mention of sharing the cost of repairs to the stadium.

The original agreement was put in place to reduce the chances of us going bust and was based on our gates being around 7.5K.
The SMC was obliged to buy a thousand season passes to supplement our very limited income.

However, the SMC receives 50% of gate receipts above 7.5K, to compensate them for the pass purchases should the club attract larger attendances

By my reckoning, the books more than balance in the SMC's favour.

So [iHull City[/i are not subsidising the club, imho.

Hopefully that can strike a deal that works better for both clubs.

IIRC, our original deal was based upon us retaining all our gate receipts on the first 7,500 fans and 50% of all gate receipts thereafter. Therefore, it makes any special ticket offer prohibitive as in affect we lose 50% on any higher gates.

I don’t think we make anything from food and drinks on the current deal, or how the current hospitality deals work.

Ideally, both clubs may work on a partial fixed rent that allows ticket offers to be more beneficial to both clubs.

Looking forward to seeing a stand named after Johnny Whiteley
