It would have, but I was wrong. Obidiah put me right. Like the Airco people, we were evicted. I'm just chuffed that this time, people are pulling together on the side of the evicted. <ok>

It was sad and poorly done, but how were you evicted?
 
Just to tidy some things up. DMD, the bigger groups had an agreement whereby they told the SMC if they didn't need the hall for a particular night. They didn't have to book each week. That was the main reason I considered it a common law tenancy, which gave them certain legal rights.

The Council would pick up debts of £8 million, £6 million to Hull City and £2 million to RBS, gave or take a million.

Chazz, I'm sure Brady and Johnson will have told Geraghty to shut up, although I find it hard to see how he could make things worse.

There will be no Category 2 status until this mess is sorted out. The SMC will have to buy a bubble pitch and put the Airco Arena back into the state it was in before to avoid legal action. Every time I go and do something else the war of words goes up another notch. I don't see how the Council can back down without a huge loss of face. The same applies to the Allams. The Allams can lose Category 2 status and the lease to the KC. They have the most to lose. So yes, I think they are in a corner.

The Council have the HDM on their side otherwise Angus Young wouldn't be posting so much material on the internet. I don't listen to Humberside or follow Twitter but accept what OLM says about the Allams getting slaughtered.

The biggest loser from all this will be Hull City AFC and possibly the Allams financially. Hull City Council will only lose if they cave in and I don't think they'll do that.
 
I'm fully behind the council on this. They have seen Allams act like the big I am and I think the letter regarding automatic planning approval was a prime example. Sod the law. We are telling you to approve this or we do what we want at the Airco Arena. The council have done the decent thing and applied for planning on its own. If the club play smart and work with the council there has to be some grant funding from somewhere. But they won't. The council can get planning in 8 weeks but that won't be good enough because the Allams will be out of pocket and won't want to spend another penny. Why? Because they think they have done nothing wrong! I'm sick of it. Its left a bitter taste and Allam OUT!

couldnt they buy/lease the old Booker site on national ave ?, they move out next week , theres probably quite hardy grass inside already judging by the roof
 
It seems I did the Council a disservice, they've told Allam to remove the pitch or face legal action.

Fair play to 'em.

Can of worms.
The bigger groups have a common law tenancy and would be able to challenge the evictions. It came down to whether the sports groups could afford to fund any legal action. The route they've gone down was sensible, trying to get the Premier League to agree a compromise solution, which happened and then didn't. Given the Council's attitude I doubt whether any of them would start any legal action now.

I am intrigued, how can anyone group have any sort of tenancy? They simply hired a portion of the arena. How would they be able to challenge the cancellation of the hire agreement?
Eviction is headline term and is not what has actually happened.
I am not trying to justify the actions of the club, but I do not understand where you get a common law tenancy as applied to the short term hire of a part of a commercial building. It is like saying that renting a room in a bed and breakfast lodging house is a form of tenancy, which it clearly is not.

Most of that is speculation and not tidying up; it simply adds to the rest of the speculation around.

The biggest loser will not be Hull City AFC, as we do our winning and losing on the field of play, but we will stay up; the losers will be Hull City Tigers, the Allam family and the mealy-mouthed people who represent them in this.

If the Council terminate the SMC's lease on the Airco, then the SMC would be kicked out and would still be liable for their own debt, only if the Council took over the SMC would they become liable.
