How, exactly?

Take the top off the West stand and you will have a really good RL ground.

So they'll "look to leave" if they gain promotion. They'll then spend 3 years (or not) building a new place at which time they'll be back down in the Championship.

People who come to rugby and football who live in the East Riding but won't be able to have a say if its HCC wards.

By spending money there.

So isn't it right that they should also have a say more than the Hull residents who have never stepped foot in the place?

I guess if you buy stuff from the concourse you are lining the pockets of the SMC and not your respective club. But that is also a private management company and not the owner, so once again the stadium itself is not directly benefitting.

A someone who rightly pointed out to me, they are an East Riding resident, with a KC phone number, it was built using KC Shares which they are part of but because they do live in the East Riding they wouldn't have a say on what would happen to the stadium that they use and put money into.

Exactly. If there is a referendum I expect a say.

Allam's business model (if even has one) absolutely baffles me!

Last time City were promoted they spent loads of cash, despite this they narrowly avoided relegation in the first year before going down in the 2nd. This time round he intends to spend loads of cash building a new ground and on a load of new players, while at the same time continuing to pay rent at the KC (a new ground would surely take 2 years to develop and build) It sounds like financial madness to me.

I'm also not sure that City need anything bigger than a 25K ground in these economic times, for every big game against the likes of Man U, there is a mid-week fixture against Wigan. City have had arguably their best form in living memory so far this season (their 2007-08 promotion year didn't really get going until after Xmas) yet they are only averaging 15K or so, below the gates they were getting in the Football Leagues back in the better economic times.

I hear what you're saying and your votes would be useful because if it goes to a referendum we're sunk. 3.22412109375:5
