I think that's exactly what it boils down to at both fan and board level. They see us as Hull City's tenants who they are having trouble evicting. Unfortunately it now seems to be descending into some sort of warfare, and never has it been more evident that the SMC needs to be run by a neutral, independent party (or parties).

If the SMC are running at a loss. Who is underwriting the losses?

If its the Allams what if he decides not to after your little protest.

Hull FC could actually end up worse off if the rent needs to increase to make up any short comings.

Be carefull what you wish for

Starbucks 'make a loss' on paper in the UK.

If you'd bothered reading this thread you will have read that notes to the SMC's recent accounts mention that the SMC's losses were underwritten by Allamco et al. So we already know that Allam is underwriting the SMC's losses. The pertinent question is: "how come the SMC can tick along nicely for ten years but then suffer massive losses in each of the two years under Allam's control?"

But thank you for your concern, I'm sure it is genuine and very much appreciated. But if I was you I'd be more concerned about when the great philanthropist decides to call-in his £1m loan to Hull KR

It could be down to the dwindling crowds at both Hull City and Hull FC bringing in less revenue. Also the stadium is more than 10 years old now so I would imagine the maintence costs will start to rise.

Do you [ireally[/i want to troll a topic that has support from fans of both FC and KR, including your very own Councillor Phil Webster?

Tread very carefully...

Im not going to read through every page, just the first couple but if this has happened then I agree, its wrong!

Thanks Rupert, decent fans of all clubs appear to agree.

He's full of horse, and the HDN haven't asked any probing questions.

Pretty much as expected on both counts, then.

He may want to check that "the stadium has always failed to make money" before he says it on record too.

If he wants to run the stadium as an effective commercial outfit, offering a decent service to customers should be top of the list, not deciding to charge tenants extra. Taking the pics down and putting new ones up has a cost, leaving the ones that are up in place doesn't.

Utterly pointless and if this wasn't really happening, I'd think it was all a very silly joke.
