Quote City1904="City1904"Unfortunately the SMC should of being independent however Hull FC where not willing to or able to put the money up to get their say.
The issue is the media pressure may tell on the Allams, which unfortunately shouldn't, the Allams are not in the wrong for the use of their property. Neither Hull City nor Hull FC have any right to to put pictures up.
I understand your disappointment, however as a City fan i wouldn't even know whichone the John Whiteley suite is, or who he is. I didn't even notice inthe Kingston suite that your pictures where even taken down. At the end of the day though both of our clubs will still be here after the Allams, and both will still have pictures everywhere no doubt.
I think its got a bit petty and many people have gone over the top on both sides.'"
I understand that you have stated you will not comment further, but I can't help but thinking that you will keep an eye on this thread.
Firstly, as has been pointed out, to the Allams The KC Stadium is not [itheir[/i property. Something a lot of City fans find hard to grasp.
Secondly your comment of "Neither Hull City nor Hull FC have any right to to put pictures up." is difficult to verify. Despite not having read the lease agreement (something I doubt you will have either). I am confident there is nothing in the agreement between the tenants and SMC about hanging pictures on walls. I am also confident there is nothing in the agreement which states that either club CANNOT hang pictures on the walls. This leads to the main issue of implied terms of contracts. For the first 10 years of usage of the stadium there has been nothing preventing the showing of this memorabilia. Therefore it becomes implied that it is not a problem and its something which will not be challenged.
Finally, and connected to the second point. The SMC cannot change the terms of a contract (written or implied) without the consent of both parties.
Now that's the legals out of the way. If you cannot see the substance of what is happening, then you really do have a bigger issue to address.
