Thing is, he's chosen a picture of Clarence Dock in Leeds. Whilst it looks lovely, the place has been a bit of a white elephant and commercial failure. Recently, the casino there and two pretty decent restaurants closed, and the whole area is a ghost town.
Isn't the picture of Newcastle actually Gateshead?

You get your facts wrong and still have a childish dig when it's pointed out, just petty minded as usual.
If you have ever made a single post that was constructive to a discussion without some sort of cheap and petty dig or attempt at derailing a thread i would be amazed.
I know i can make you a foe and ignore your posts, but then you still have to wade through all the replies.
Why is he still allowed to post on here when it's all just digs and derailing of threads, i love a bit of banter it's amusing but this isn't that.

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?: |

The problem is he (the council) is still talking about a referendum.
My guess is Allam would win - city supporters will vote yes, rovers supporters will vote yes for the wrong reasons, and hull supporters will vote no.
Large numbers won't be bothered and probably wouldn't vote anyway.
A 30% turnout (I assume only 18+ can vote) is maybe 80,000. I'm sure Allam would get his way.
And I guess the East Riding won't get a vote either.
I suppose the key issue is whether the council would be allowed to run a referendum.

Brady says he will call a referendum about the future of the stadium "if an offer comes in". I presume this to mean Allam offering to pay the Council £x million for the stadium, not offering to take it off their hands for nothing. To be fair if he were to offer to buy it for its market value it probably should be sold to him but I can't see many council tax payers voting for it to be given to him or sold for peanuts. |

I read the article to mean that a referendum would be done once a realistic offer for the stadium had been received, which as of yet, hasn't happened. The vote would then be down to the people of Hull to sell or not.
The council aren't just going to give this crackpot the KC and surrounding land for free on the back of some 'sports village' claptrap, & watch him boot Hull FC out, which is basically what Allam's 'offer' was. |

Indeed.
Frankly by the time any offer has been made and accepted and a referendum has been organised City could have been relegated.
Also remember that if Allam does ever buy the freehold of the stadium he buys it subject to our sub-lease. |

The part i struggle to fully understand, and apologies if it has been mentioned previously.
But who owns the SMC and employs the people to run it?
Thought it was the council or am i misguided there?

Adam Wild @Adam_Wild Slightly confused about #hcafc celebrations. Are Allams really trying to exclude the council... by holding it at a council-owned stadium?
