| I think you have just played right into the Allams arms.
He can now come out and explain that the current pricing structure to bring the SMC back into profit needs addressing.

If he explains it in the same manner he explained why he should be gifted the KC and environs, then we're on to a winner

If its anything like their last foray into the media that should be a right giggle.

| Quote: Uppo58 "I think thats a really good point Mr Craneys Sidestep. There is indeed serious financial mismanagement at play here. A financial model for a small profit existed and that has been transformed to serious losses at the flick of a name change. I think we need to focus renewed efforts on this achilles heel of the SMC. Perhaps we have been focussing on the wrong thing ??
The SMC/ Allam motives may be petty and borne out of some kind of payback against all things FC, because they think they can. But actually they are mismanaging to such a degree that some sort of enquiry surely should be required if enough people raise the concern in the right way to the right people. They (the allams) might just have rattled a hornets nest.
Local government are aware that under previous regimes, APs included, there simply was not an issue with SMC financial management, (or tenant unrest. ) and now there is. In a big way. That is a new drum we need to bang loudly in the faces of the local government councillors and MP's.
FINANCIAL MISMANAGEMENT - We the people want an audit/enquiry
I'm sure many more than I have written to the contact names offered by Standee, Hutch and Wilf et al in local government, the media etc, I'm wondering now whether we should write directly to Hugh Robertson the present Minister for Sport at the department for Culture Media and Sport. Its not an issue his own backyard I know, but if things such as this are happening in the UK which are effecting the governance of Sport or Sporting bodies then he should at the very least be informed that things are happening which are financially (and ethically) wrong.
If we think this is sensible then perhaps we should co-ordinate our efforts, so not to duplicate and to ensure the message is the correct one. I'm not sure if this should come from FC Voices or a mass effort from the concerned members of the "electorate".
Your thoughts would be appreciated.'"
Any Council contract can be called in for scrutiny by Councillors. This is one for the value for money scrutiny and contract operators can be brought to task about their operations in a public forum (with the press allowed to observe, take notes and freely report).
Now given Angus Young is suggesting a claim against HCC from the SMC for 500k, this is going to get very very messy. it is part of the plan to get his hands on the stadium, so we need to form strong alliances with politicians to protect the Stadium and our club.
We have to stand united or we will be in serious trouble.

It is starting to look that way. Hull fans, with the very best of intentions, look to have innocently walked straight into a trap. Compounded by the fact that the gagging order preventing Hull from speaking out has stopped Adam Pearson from warning them off.
Taking everything else to one side though, the fact remains that Johnny Whiteleys photos should be re-instated immediately and free of charge. He should not have been a casualty in this episode.

I thought it was my status as a wife that meant I was unable to understand his clever man-talk, and should therefore restrict my activities to shopping in boutiques and supermarkets. Turns out even other men don't know what he's on about. Phew.

| I'm not normally a revolutionary, anarchist or even a naughty boy but this has pished me off! We need to campaign against it as strongly as possible (but without getting into trouble cos me mam'll go mad!). Suggest that wePrint off an A4 photo of your favourite Hull player of all time
Take the print to the Warrington game and blu tac it to one of the seats and leave it there. This might be a long way off the anarchy of the poll tax riots but it will[/ii]Ensure that Hull FC memorabilia is on show at the KC on match day
Do no damage to the fabric of the stadium
Publicise our displeasure
Cause the SMC to have to remove the photo's (at a cost?)
Cause DR ALLAM to become very hot under the collar[/i
In addition it'll be a great talking point at the ground, will be a jolly wheeze and won't get me into trouble with me mam!

You forgot to mention important wife activities like cooking, washing, ironing and cleaning.

| I think we should also lobby the stadiums sponsor to get them to rename the Stadium the Johnny Whitely Stadium for 5 years. They have naming rights until 2025 negotiated by City's new MD (he was KC'ss lead on the sponsorship).

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?: |
|
| Another rlCouncil committee minuterl.
There's a bit at the end in red (hover over the text) which explains why the lease is not a public document.

Have City or KR have ever been out of the red?

Both FC and City had lower crowd averages in years when the SMC was making a small profit.
Try again.

First, see my reply to your similarly opined friend above.
Second - the 'gagging order' covers talking about the detail of the lease. Nothing there to stop the club warning off the fans.
You'll need to look elsewhere for your negative spin.

| Surely the recent losses the SMC is now making show that the Allams cannot run the stadium correctly and so shouldnt be allowed anywhere near ownership of it?

Probably less maintenance costs due to the stadiums age at the time.
