The Allam [iBritish [/iOpen! HA PMSL.

1000 spectators, even Wakefield get more then that

Yep.

But the whole farcical display was just another demonstration by Allam that he can do what he likes with 'his' pitch and 'his' stadium as owner of the SMC. Same with encouraging the pitch invasion at City's last game and hosting the party there (wonder what the 'soccer-related losses' were from that event?).

Squash is an indoor sport and this event was perfect for the arena. Instead Mr Allam would prefer to compromise the interests of one of his major tenants by destroying part of the pitch during their season, simply as a muscle-flexing exercise. Whether he intends to reseed imminently is irrelevant to us tonight.

A good chunk of them were freebies, too. Startling amount of coverage in the HDM, though. Wonder why?

Surprised he hasn't got motocross organised for the pitch before the football season starts

Nothing like a bit of anti-Allam paranoia.

why is it paranoia?

Because not everything Allam does is with the intention of putting Hull FC's noses out of joint.

It's a multi-use stadium, and it was used for a squash tournament, so what. It won't have any detrimental effect on the Rugby tonight.

fair enough, if that's your point of view, many disagree.

and it isn't a "multi use stadium" as Allam has shown, it's a "do as I want when I want stadium"

As tweeted by Barrie McDermott.

Steady Standee you don't want to get on the wrong side of your Landlord.

That is awful. Allam is a prat.

Noooo, we're all paranoid and it wont affect the game......

How is that fit to play on?

he's the managing agent, our tenancy isn't with him, as you well know marmite.

Still unwise to mug him off. He is not to be trusted. I think what he has done to the pitch, after his club tried to get you to move the Broncos game to preserve the pitch for their last game against Cardiff, is nothing short of scandalous.
