I'm 'claiming' that commercial lease law offers [isome[/i protection and more than I'd thought. I've also specifically stated that we could still run into problems in the medium and/or long term.

Why is it that people on this board seem to struggle to read what's actually posted?

You now pay rent to play in a stadium that is run by a Rovers benefactor.

Sometime soon you'll be paying rent to play in a stadium that is OWNED by a Rovers benefactor. BUT ONLY IF YOU ASK NICELY.

From a Hull FC point of view, I don't think Allam himself is any more of a problem than Pearson, Duffen or Bartlett.

The problem is the ground-share, if or when, Hull City establish themselves in the Premiership.

You would have to be naive in the extreme to not believe that the Premier League juggernaut won't find a way of outlawing ground-sharing eventually...whether that is two, five or ten years from now! Sadly, it will happen one day!

A more pressing problem would-be the effects of a stadium-expansion, and the associated hike in costs that would go with it!

The atmosphere isn't that great now...I shudder to think what it would feel like with 12-13k rattling round in a 40k-seater stadium?

I for one will be hoping that City don't return to the Premiership any time soon, but with Mr Allam's backing, that scenario is far more likely than it was!

I think the phrase you were looking for is: "but with Mr Allam's backing, Hull City are less likely to go bust any time soon"

The Allam family's total, estimated wealth is less than the player valuations of any of the top Premiership clubs. Please get some perspective

You mean a Rovers [icreditor[/i, obviously.

As one of the main culprits maybe you could answer that for us

I'm not losing any sleep, to be honest.

People have been saying for years that the FA would outlaw shared stadiums for Premiership teams. Hasn't happened yet and I don't see how it could.

It any case City are a long way from becoming an established Premiership club. Allam's wealth is considerable but he'd have to get City into massive debt to compete in the top flight.

Depends on the term of your lease, if the lease has a one month notice then they can serve NTQ and you cannot do anything about it, FC's lease at the KC is for a lot longer, I don't know the exact notice period, but it's something like 25 years.

Even IF HCC sells the KC to the nutjob, he will still be legally bound by the terms of our lease, in fact, it would be a condition of sale.

If the council wanted some money out of the stadium why did the previous encumbants allow a third party to manage the stadium? Surely the profits that have been squirreled away by SMC over the last 9 years would have meant the council would have had a reasonable return and not be in the position to need to sell at any point? Short sighted & incompetent to say the least, it wouldn't have been a Labour council then by any?

our original lease agreement was 25 years, with an option for another 25, that options is quite clearly OURS. I've looked into (some of) the legalities and any transfer of ownership COULD NOT affect our lease or our option, or what it costs us, there are also (i believe) three deed of covenenants in place, one on the "public open space", one on the Canegie Library and one on the Fairground, but details are proving hard to come by (without paying a solicitor, which we've no need to do, yet)

i thought your lease was 100 years
