Let me get this right, some people are actually ok with the club evicting local sports clubs away at short notice with no effort to help them find a new location? Bollocks if it's for the benefit of the club, decisions like this should benefit the community that the club serves, though I doubt this is a notion that has crossed the old man's mind. The variety of clubs and activities provided no doubt provide valuable fitness and social activities and, who know's, potential athletes who could represent their country. It's vital that this city can nurture people with different talents, rather than putting their eggs in one basket with football. If this decision had been taken the right way with help provided for the evicted clubs, I'm sure there would have been a less critical outlook on this. However, because the actions taken have shown nothing but contempt, people are right to be angry. I don't expect Mr Allam to act like a charity, but he can at least make his decisions with some moral compass.

I reckon he assumed people would accept it as meekly as the east stand evictions were accepted.

At least this time people are speaking up about such a pompous, high handed attitude.

I totally agree with this and believe that now we have an established and well run Trust one goal should be to start increasing the awareness of the 'silent majority' in regards to the true character that is Assem Allam, a man who uses money and power as a means to an end in everything he does.

The lease and documents relating to the KC stadium and arena, beginning to end, should be placed in the public domain ,imo. Who is to decide what is and isn't sensitive and to whom it is sensitive?

I bet it's one of those Assets of community value things that can't be tampered without the express permission of the [HASHTAG]#clintflask[/HASHTAG] 'til I die brigade and we can all have a good belly laugh at "pay me". Unless someone on the committee of wise men forgot to add that in to the application for this lauded status. If the Airco does not have the status of an asset of community value in the eyes of someone or other or maybe the group as a whole entity. Then on that basis, Assem Allam will boot the tenants out and tell them to gtf. He will put the best case forward for obtaining free money and increasing the sale price of his business. Mind your own business, business as usual as far as "pay me" is concerned.

Here's an idea, maybe that new supporters trust group could match his best offer, tell him to fxxk off and then let the kiddies play on the trampolines all day and let the fat birds roller skate/blade until their dizzy.

The Hull City Supporters Trust should come out with a press release fully supporting HULL CITY, unless of course they don't on this single issue only.

Do the HCST have an official position on this? Will they be releasing a press release on this situation fully supporting HULL CITY?

The committee could have an emergency meeting or a vote or summat and decide how best a pro Allam community group should respond. Good luck with that.

The ACV does cover the Airco Arena, but only if it's sold, a change in the precise way it's used is not covered by an ACV.

As PLT has said, we've already made a statement on all forms of social media.

So you typed all that ****e for nothing.

Sorry to piss on your parade.

Linking the improvement to council owned social housing to the KC stadium is so wide of the mark it is embarrassing. All social housing providers in the country had to sign up to the "Descent Homes Standard 2015". Existing housing had to be improved to set standards. NHE was the first Housing Action Trust in the country and it was awarded £158m of government funding to improve its approx 4000 properties. Estates such as Gypsyville were improved by loans taken out from the Housing Corporation at a zero percent interest rate, all of which led to an increase on the rents paid and just in case you think that those who bought their houses after the improvements benefited, they didn't. All improvements made where added on to the discounted sale price.
It is a shallow argument, the only people to benefit from the KC sale were those who sold multiple shares at the best rate, you know just the sort of people who don't live in social housing.

Sorry to remind you but that when Hull City Council sold off the public telephone company it was the equivalent of a working man winning the Euro Lottery on a triple roll-over week.
That particular huge windfall should have transformed this city for ever, but it didn't.
and the money was mainly squandered.

Well that's clear enough, when the club is sold with the academy at the arena then and only then does the ACV come into effect. Until then the Airco arena is covered by ACV status and the community via the tenants are getting booted out to make way for funding and saleable value for HULL CITY. I am just pointing out that the cost of the 20% you aspire to buying is going up.

I have read your statements of support for HULL CITY

You're welcome.

I've no idea what point you're trying to make with that gibberish, but we've not mentioned buying 20% of anything.

Are you saying the trust would activate the ACV to buy the stadium with a view to becoming the landlord to HULL CITY? independently of anything to do with club shareholders?

Some may have had the impression the ACV was dependent on the trust being a shareholding trust.

I am sure you or obi will clear this up for us all, forgive me for thinking this but it does look like a useless piece of paper that has pissed him off and had unexpected consequences.

Do the trust have ambitions to be shareholders of HULL CITY?

I'm not sure if you're pissed, but your last two posts make absolutely no sense.

The Trust has an ACV in place so the fans would be notified immediately if there was any potential sale of the stadium, it's standard practice for all trusts.

I doubt the the Allam's are pissed off about the ACV, it's unlikely to ever affect them and it certainly played no part in the Airco evictions.

All trusts have the aim of fan representation on the board of their respective clubs, ideally also with a shareholding.
 
For those that don't know the protest has been cancelled to allow more talks with the club. Hopefully we'll see a solution suitable for all.

Whoosh. You are not not the brightest one on the planet, are you?

Will you be forming a rival trust by any chance? There could be a groundswell of support out there, give it a go, you know you want to!
