GateGate and SignGate...

[Obadiah]

I've changed my mind. It's getting interesting.

Has brady spoken yet?

I have no idea. I suspect he'll be sat there sweating over another problem the Allams have caused. The joys of leadership.

 

[Obadiah]

I'm sure when aa offered the smc before you said the council didn't want it and it would be good for the Allams to get rid? Sorry if you didn't say that.

I did, but there is a difference between having a friendly landlord and having a hostile one. Sitting around a table discussing how the stadium could break even in a friendly manner with Cllr Brady and Co is very different from sitting around the table with a Council spitting feathers and having to break even, especially when the only way it could do that is by a substantial rent increase for Hull City Tigers Limited.

Sadly, as with most things the Allams do they'd rather burn bridges than build them.

They were hardly friendly a few years ago though.
They've gated it off now and separated it, maybe they're going to declare independence. Like passport to pimlico

That is pretty much a given. There are sharp spikes on the top of that fence. If someone does decide to climb it and severs an artery, will Ehab be prosecuted?

If I was the prosecution, I'd press for manslaughter.

Take the fence down Ehab. Oh and sort yourself out you fool.

I suspect Kempton, there would be a very long queue wanting to manslaughter Ehab.

Apart from one or to botty lickers on here.

The rent paid by Hull City Tigers Limited and Hull FC doesn't cover the costs of running the SMC. Hull City Tigers Limited only has user rights with the SMC not Hull City Council. If the lease becomes void Hull City Tigers Limited will have to negotiate a new tenancy with Hull City Council, face a potential huge hike in rent, they'd lose a substantial part of the FA Academy funding if they are thrown out of the Airco Arena and Hull City Tigers Ltd would have to write off millions of pounds the club lent to the SMC.

They may be stupid in some things but not when it comes to money. the last thing they want at the minute is having to negotiate a new tenancy agreement with a hostile council.

I could be wrong but I doubt it.

Aye, I know, although I am far from sure about having to write loans off. There would be consequences for HCC, too. Just one suitor in the wings, one who bailed at adopting the SMC and it's a game changer.

But of course, my post was just me daydreaming, a tad tongue-in-cheek, as, just like plenty of others, I really know **** all about the detail.

I like this post.

I am going to tick the like button.

If the allams where serious about anti terrorism, they'd employ proper security people doing proper security searches. Instead of having barely interested people on a minimum wage with a paste table.

That would cost them money.

Perhaps when they flog Bowen, they will get proper security people doing proper security searches on..... err well there will be no ****er going so the searches will be pointless.

 

[Arnold_Lane_HCFC]

Again, where is our new Director of Football?

We've got one??

Oh, I forgot. They **** off price hikes and brow beating and say no games or move them to wherever they want - they don't give a **** about the fans, it would be the fault of HCC and their lawyers would make hay ...

.. it's all quite obvious in my world.

As soon as the whole area is gated off Assem and Ehab will be holding their own two man Catalan style referendum for independence
Unless the result is 50/50 they'll get what they always wanted by renaming the area round the ground as 'Melton'

Nobody bailed due to adopting the SMC, all the offers were including the SMC, as obviously anyone owning the club wants control of the stadium.

 

[Chilton's Hundreds]

After the disappointing attendances of recent seasons, Allam Snr has obviously told Ehab to "Get the gates up".

The rest is history as they say.

 

[originallambrettaman]

To be fair to the club (yeah I know...hear me out!) they didn't say, originally anyway, that Humbs Police gave them advice. They said someone like North East Counter Terrorist Unit did

The quote related to closing during the Fair, it's not about the original need for a gate in the first place.

Yes they were hardly friendly but they could have repaired the damage if they both wanted to. With each new provocation that gets more and more difficult. If Inglis' views represent a substantial number of Councillors then the Council may have the balls to take the Allams on and try and retake their stadium. Alternatively it may be the last gasp of Councillor Inglis before he retires.

Interesting times

 

[Arnold_Lane_HCFC]

The Council now say they've spoken to Humberside Police and they did not give any advice to the SMC in relation to closing the gate for stadium security.

It's a ****ing farce.

Not quite a farce.

Maybe a case of someone telling porkies. Not for the first time.

 

[balkan tiger]

We've got one??

We're getting one according to Ehabs propaganda video a while back. And some on here believed him even went so far as to tell us know nowts it would be Steve Maclaren.

More like ****ing Matalan style referendum. Everything on the cheap with these two ****s.

Correct and the gate will be open for the duration of the Fair. Storm in a tea cup as usual.

 

[dennisboothstash]

That's not how I read it at all
The first paragraph says it's closed on Police advice
The second paragraph says that therefore people will have to go round for the fair

You forget to add..........the only way they could do that is by a substantial rent increase for Hull City........ AND Hull FC, so it will never happen.
