Went in Janaury but no mention in HDM report that it was because of a refusal to train on the KC pitch

So Nick Thompson is trying to have everyone believe that he asked the SMC if , the Allam owned HC could train on the KC pitch and the Allam owned SMC said no. So he had to ask for extra funds or report that to his bosses , the Allams , so that HC could travel to Portugal at short notice instead which was a real pain. I bet the Allams were really unhappy with the decision of the Allam owned SMC because of the extra cost and inconvenience that were caused for the Allam's HC.
What conflict of interest????????????

Why did the interviewer not just ask him the blunt question, or point out the blunt point? He asked how much the charge for displaying memorabilia was (which was predictably and understandably not answered), but why didn't they challenge the stupid response that 'the SMC has to make money somehow'? 1. You've just said it's a nominal amount, so they won't make much, and 2. What they make from Hull City is a cost to the same people as are charging it, so they've made nothing. It's literally like taking money out of one pocket and putting it in another in the same pair of jeans. The only people they'll be making money from is Adam Pearson and everyone knows it, so why not just stop dancing around it and tell it like it is?

As Mrs B pointed out on the "petty" thread

The fact is the SMC managed to tick along quite nicely for ten years. returning a modest, cumulative profit of £42k. Not a fortune but the right side of the balance sheet and enough to give the council a small return on their investment.

Now compare that with losses of £326k and £409k ineach of the last two years. That should be sufficient to trigger a forensic audit of the SMC's books, especially given that one of Allam's arguments for being gifted the KC was that the SMC was making losses. The SMC only started posting substantial losses once it was under Allam's control. Losses of that magnitude are hardly going to be mitigated by charging Hull FC £20k per year for picture space.

The SMC is an asset that is owned by the council tax payers of Hull, the City Council are custodians of that asset and as such, I believe they have a legal duty to ensure that the KC is being properly managed. If losses continue at the rate of the last two years, then there must be serious doubts over the ability of the SMC to adequately maintain the KC stadium.

Do the losses in the recent years relate to lost sponsorship of the Arena, and various units around the ground being too expensive for rental - i.e. the previous council unit?

Remember, the council have moved out, the hockey teams have (apparently) gone, likewise the basketball, the arena has no sponsor, BUT the SMC had £1.2m cash in the bank, didn't pay any dividends (so didn't pay the Council a penny) and probably avoided a shed load of tax......

There are some very unhappy councillors in the Guildhall this morning. JW suite with his pictures taken down very embarrassing for the council and the PEOPLE OF HULL'S community Stadium.

discussions are ongoing so far as I know, but no one's trained or played at the KC since December

cheers, any information anyone has about how the word Community (with a capital C) is being underminded at the COMMUNITY facility is greatfully received, it's our best angle on this one.
