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.

If there is evidence of financial mismanagement or any underhand dealings, I would imagine the council would have the option to rip up any agreement.

It's all very pathetic this whole situation, as I've said on the City board.

Who'd have thought when the council built us both a stadium that we'd have to rent space for a photo on the bloody wall!

Also, who is on the board of the SMC, does anyone know? I've had a quick look but can't find much at all.

I came across this "quote" yesterday. I've no idea who said it or if it's valid, but......

McGuire (City's former CEO) resigned when he left City. Perhaps John North will be appointed for independence. What with him, I think, being company secretary of Hull KR who owe £1m to, er, the Allams.

I thought you'd know! And I thought that would be who was involved.

The SMC should have been either a joint effort from Hull City, Hull FC and the council, or should have been independent in the first place, then arguments like this at least would have some balance to them.

rlHere'srl a link giving lot's of details about the SMC, including rldirectorsrl, rlturnoverrl etc.

Also, the issue of rlHull in Printrl at the time the stadium was about to be opened. It includes...

Anyone who is a Hull resident needs to continually harrang their local councillor until they get sick of it and bring some pressure to bear in some way, shape or form

CCS's earlier post refers to the Community Stadium fulfilling it's responsibilities to the community, does this mean that there is some sort of service level agreement or even list of these responsibilities?

I've always felt that rugby is treat as the second class citizen in all of this. The Allams need to start seeing the stadium as what it is "a community stadium" to be enjoyed by all of whatever persuasion be it black, amber, black and white or even red and white !! ... As for removing memorabilia of Johnny Whiteley they obviously don't realise what offence this causes to people ... or maybe they do ??

On a lighter note take a look at this ... some smashing t shirts ... the wife just got me one for my holiday ... come on you hullaah

Has anyone dowloaded any files available on this site?

It would cost just £10 to get hold of the last tens years SMC annual accounts up to 2012.

Allamhouse Limited might be interesting as well.

I really would like to understand what this statement means....


I'm more than willing to get copies of the accounts, but they would be more useful to someone who actually understands them.



As AP was working for Hull City before and after the Allam's took over City+SMC, surely he (Allam) would have seen all the relevant "warranties"??
