That was my assumption, I mentioned that even in Housing Associations ALL staff a required to list any gifts, hospitality etc. over a value of £5, including buffet lunches etc.

I got a stoney silence back.

Maybe I can get the HDM to reques.......sorry, silly me, that would mean finding a journalist at the HDM instead of a primate with crayons.

(you watch, there'll be an advert next week in HDM "local newspaper seeking an Ape that is coversant with Biro's" (you know, same story as on here but just worded differently)

Whilst he is a vice president of Hull City and in Allams pocket then confidential pillow talk with regards to our arrangement with the SMC will be disscussed. The council won`t be rollered by this weasel, they are going to fight him tooth and nail over this. Why have we not heard from the CEO of the dobbins? He seems to dissapear when any controversy abounds! When you read both statements you can see (a) the bitterness from the weasel and (B) the councils resolve to not take the blame for the dobbins failures not only in the Stand fiasco but in their own financial downfall.

My mate who works at a stadium seat making co just text me to say they have got an order for 1300 black and 1300 white seats in to be delivered to Hull in a couple of months.

Stop it nearly wet myself

I wonder where he got that idea?
It is plausible. The thing is we have incomplete information and people seem to want to compete to control of the 'truth' rather than find the facts. And because it is easier to attack a position rather than defend, a fair bit of mud is flung and some of it sticks - to Rovers, to Hull FC, to City and to the Council. Everybody loses. We're fed snippets (and grab onto them those we like), that suit each agenda - but in a wider context, they're close to meaningless.

So yeah - Hudgell comparing payments to be made by Hull KR, not to payments made by Hull FC, but to the profit/loss they make for the council/KC SMC isn't fair or sensible. Pearson talking about paying the highest rent in SL, without mentioning extras such as free stewarding and guaranteed ticket sales, or (if it is true) the loss each fixture costs the venue, is misleading. You've got Ehab Allam giving the word 'commercial' yet another kicking and ignoring a clear (if possibly expensive) conflict of interest. The council playing the 'community' card when it suits - see also everybody else - or wading in, then swiftly out of the Whiteley-gate thing. Unusually, the only people whose repuatations are on the up are the MPs - which says something in itself, I think.

MS3 Craven Park is going to become Carlsberg Craven Park in 2014. Hull KR don't do completed superleage stadiums, but if they did..............

rlIt could never happen.rl
