It's disgusting to be fair. Taking them to court for breaking the lease agreement by playing in front of an empty stadium, when it would have been illegal to do so. We played in front of an empty stadium?

Steve & I, in conversation yesterday, had thought that Adam would be asking for VP fundraising and a subsequent donation to the club perhaps to help with pandemic loss of revenue or another project but those attending listened silently as our Club Owner was visibly moved as he documented a catalogue of interference and bullying which he and HullFC have been subjected to for the last 3 or 4 years from the SMC.



I have no shorthand skills, so what I write here is only a brief list of the things which Adam reported and, as he started, he warned that there is legal action pending and that his lawyers have warned him to be circumspect but he wants the situation to be out in the open. For the last 3 or 4 years the club has faced barriers to organising our fixture list from SMC. This year, with Covid guidelines from the Government uppermost, Super League clubs were asked to play fixtures away from home after November. The SMC subsequently billed Adam for agreeing to this. As Adam was in hospital suffering with Covid he received a demand for £250,000 and these bills keep coming with his expensive London law firm successfully challenging them in court. At the start of the new season the SMC instructed Adam not to sell season passes so there was a delay in organising that. There are 2 games (Leeds & St Helens) at the end of the season when SMC say that the stadium is not available. The pitch is marvellous at the moment (according to Adam) but SMC have demanded the usual 6 weeks to be kept free for re-seeding. (He reminded us that the groundsman had been sacked for wearing HullFC tracksuit whilst at work.) Permissions for Monday evening's game was at first refused by SMC but finally agreement was reached and it will cost £53,000 to move the game. The catalogue of obstruction and financial demands made regularly kept on coming.



The Stadium was built as a Community facility to be enjoyed and used by both teams with no senior tenancy. Many of the VPs present had been at the pre-move from the Boulevard meetings and spoke about the Council of the time promoting the new stadium as a facility for the people of Hull, built from the proceeds of the sale of KC telephones. There is no senior tenant, both clubs share the rights to use the ground but SMC are stating that they are the senior tenant. SMC have a duty to upkeep the stadium but little has been spent on fabric maintenance for many years, the spending mainly on security and putting obstructions in the way of the community accessing the stadium as exemplified by the erection of the barrier stopping people cutting through the perimeter to go to Hull Fair. The building is beginning to look dilapidated, HullFC had to move out of their offices because of dampness and were not allowed to extend the FC shop by knocking down a wall. There have been no concerts held to generate income and the annual profits of the SMC are half of what they were when Adam ran it. How many of us saw Rod Stewart rocking the night away or Elton John. I saw Brian Adams in 2004 in the rain!



Many of these things we have read about but Hull Daily Mail and Radio Humberside are not welcome by the HullCity personnel. The council have been on the fence for years and are afraid to tackle the increasing number of issues but Adam now wants all this brought out in the open with a widespread discussion by fans.

What action are the VPs considering? One very catchy idea from a member present suggested that fans could put on a show of support for Adam and make a 1000 strong Chain of Protest around the stadium on Monday pre-game; another ,that fans could take pictures of the poor condition of the stadium and post on social media. The committee will, I am sure be sending out further emails to all to begin and expand the debate.



Adam was asked about a new stadium and said that some thought has been given to that and some potential sites have been spoken about but £30m is not going to be found overnight.



I am sure that I have missed some of the things which were said but the focus is not on fund-raising but spreading the word, and when Adam was asked at the end of the meeting about the team, his mood lifted and he said that the togetherness within the group of players was buoyant and they were training hard and playing well and he was delighted.

Sounds like Adam is mobilising his troops against the Allams which means it is also against football and Hull City. This could get messy, did he congratulate City on their title/promotion during this rant ?
Would be nice to hear both sides of these arguments. I don't recall the Judge at the wrongful dismissal case for the groundsmen mentioning that they were 'sacked for wearing Hull FC tracksuits at work' either.
One we do know is the whinge about FC playing their 1st game at the KC this coming Monday. City couldn't commit when the request first came in because we may have been involved in the Play Off's. When we weren't permission was granted ? Where's the argument there ?

It appears Mr Pearson is not happy with the SMC landlords.

However, on an administration level it seems the council are running scared of our current landlords and collectively it is time for them to step up and support our club and the people of Hull. They may need to act soon before the club and our supporters decide to address the balance of power

That quote pretty much translates to legally we don't have a leg to stand on and neither do the council, but we will continue to try and create issues and use the ill feelings towards the Allams for our gain

I have always advocated Hull at the Costello Stadium. It's a great fit.

**** stirring by Sir Adam with the full backing of the HDM. Once again we read of the backing the club and game has amongst our glorious leaders at Guildhall and now 'several local MP's' ? I have yet to hear of anyone in a position of influence on the council showing any support for Hull City. It would also be nice to hear the other side of Sir Adams constant whinging about having to pay to use the KC.
