I suppose in distance the men would win.

I dont think the concept of a new stadium is silly, not at all, but comparing Hull FC's ability to build a small stadium to what Everton are doing is, if it were built on St Andrews half the supporters wouldn't be able to get there, too far out of town. We will not leave the KC, AP is posturing, nothing more.

The Allam's are complete, and utter, p**cks. How hard is it, like in the past, to say to the Football League, can we have an away game on these weekends please. The same as we have with the RFL for the pitch relaying in May/June.

Complete and utter shambles

For the last 20 years the Superleague fixtures have been announced at least 6 months before the football season starts in August.

These SL fixtures are arranged to avoid clashes with the current football season ending in May.

Then the Allams get involved.

Think it will only strengthen APs resolve to get it sorted one way or the other.

The rule always used too be that we give way to the football team at the end of their season and they give way to us at the end of ours. Whats so difficult to do they have always looked at our fixtures and asked for away games that weekend just as they have done for Hull Fair. And indeed as we have done with our early season fixtures.

Fact is they simply don't like AP because he's been successful since he left them and he's popular and they are doing everything they can to make it difficult for us. Recently they haven't liked the City fans wanting Adam to buy the Club and to run both teams and the Stadium. And before any City fans start talking about THEIR Stadium it should be remembered that the Stadium wouldn't be there if we hadn't signed up to play there along with City. The only reason the Government allowed the council to spend their gains from the telephone shares on the KCom was because it had to be a shared and community Stadium. However with no community organisations able to afford to use it now and all this going on you would hardly believe it!!

Its a very sad state of affairs and I'm increasingly worried about our future. As I've said before I simply don't see where millions for a new ground is coming from. Up until now we haven't had to play a home game on neutral grounds due to the KCOM being unavailable, a long time ago now but the stadium even hosted both football and rugby in one day in 2007 so that we could be at home in the playoffs and in 2006 we memorably played during Hull Fair with the council and SMC's support.

We can only hope and pray that promotion for City makes them attractive to a buyer, they are now running at a very low cost (about the only positive I can muster for the Allams) and new owners and promotion after a lengthy lockdown would create a boom in City's attendances....but they'll no doubt still want a Premier League sized price to sell and keep playing the pantomime villan



What makes it worse is this all comes at a time when we seem to be getting it together on the field, there's been a few seasons I wouldn't have minded them having to play elsewhere

Finally the time for the SMC to be handed to the council. They own it?

You'd hope there some kind of 'bad behaviour' clause where the council can take back the SMC, but they've managed to padlock the walkway, evict amateur clubs from the arena and shove millions of pounds of debt into the SMC and the council haven't or can't act, so I don't hold my breath.

The problem with that, is the Allams have somehow managed to load the SMC with millions of pounds worth of debt, the Council can’t afford to take it on. Only a buy out of City will facilitate a change in the SMC and the Shamallams well know it. This is all down to AP suggesting a move from the stadium and their way of hitting back.

If I was Pearson I'd be on the phone to Donny and York asking if we can play our last two games there for free in exchange for bar takings. That would stick two fingers up to the Allams and we don't make much on the day at the KCOM anyway so little money lost. Id happily let anyone who can't drive have a lift if the Covid rules allowed that.
