All what was discussed at the time?

Bye Stan. I've no idea where you're going but I hope they can straighten you out. I mean, fancy you still thinking any of this has anything to do with football.

could you please tell us
when is your Wedding Day to Mr Allam ..Its got to be love to stick up for somebody like you do PS Hope you both have a nice day

Which were?

Varied. Some saw his charity work and how he went over and above to make sure the schemes were self financing, others had a very hostile view based on their own experiences.

When you do Bussiness and Deals you have to show respect for the people consered ..If you don't the deal breaks down and your name get tarred ..More so if you want people to hand thing over has part of a loan ,In life you like to see what you are getting for your money ..When the man put his cards on the table people might just start listing to him

he has put his cards on the table, unfortunatly, like him, they were all jokers!

Not strictly accurate our true, but in any event there was going to be investment into the area. I'd say the ball was in the Council's court to look at ways of making that work, not poking the bottom lip out and offering no solution of their own.

Let's not forget, the area is in dire need of a revamp, someone somewhere is going to have to pay for it. Unfortunately the short sighted can't see beyond the Headlines that don't match the story text. Once again, we'll end up paying more for less.

These are probably the same people that kept the size of the stadium smaller than needed. I doubt they'll see the irony that increasing the size is now a part of the issue and a significantly higher cost

Because it's been rammed full so often hasn't it?

How many times has it been at capacity? I can think of 2 maybe 3 for rugby. What about City?

A stadium 10 years old, used, lets say 40 times a year across both sports = 400 chances to fill it and how many times has it been full? And you think it should be bigger?

You're not proposing squash in the Kingston Suite too are you? While you drive round Hull throwing money at passers-by? Harry Allam by any chance?

The KC has been officially sold out for 2 times for RL (were no tickets were available on the day of the game.

I friend of mine who is a City season ticket holder has stated on several occasions that during their premiership tenure City sold out their home tickets on 14 occasions, 10 of which were in their first season in the top flight (due to more season ticket holder in that first season). As the club struggled the interest subsided. Of the other 24 prem games, tickets could be bought up to kick off.

The Stadium doesn't need expanding it this point in time. If Allam were to invest into the team (which of course he could in january) and they became a front runner for promotion, there maybe a weak arguement for extending in readiness for the Premier league. Given there was not a massive demand during the 2 seasons they were up there, it seems an odd thing to extend until the demand is there.

Please don't think that more seats would result in cheaper one.

The city needs financial input, but is a couple of squash course and a swimming pool really going to make any difference?

I'm not sure if your friends figures are right, but in any event had the stadium been as big as the initial proposal, some of those turned away may have enjoyed the experience and come back, as it was I know many that got bored of trying to get tickets, however, as I said that's not the same situation as part of the published proposal was for cheaper tickets.

I doubt a pool or squash court would be the answer, that's why they're not offered as the sole solution by anyone but those with selective reading habits. The recent example of how business negotiations and development proposals are handled is hardly going to lead to a flood of investors. Perhaps it explains why we have so few investors yet have so many very wealthy people in the region.

Short sighted and small mined folk have held us back for years.
