    Are you claiming that the independent survey was carried out the day after a RL game had taken place ?.

    The 'independent' survey commissioned and paid by the SMC.

    He was a proper chairman, with a vision, ambition, determination, leadership and a sense that he was a custodian of the club for the fans.

    Or at least that's how he seemed.

    Unlike some of the ones that followed him who see the club as a cash cow or ego extension.

    Probably the only post of yours that I've ever agreed with.

    You're still a **** though.

    It could well have been, as in SMC submission it does actually say when the inspection was done as far as I can see, only that sometime after the 25th February it is said Ehab decide to obtain a report, and on the 21st March is was received. The Rugby game finished around 10pm on the Friday night on the 10th March and the Swansea game played at 3pm the next day.

    However for me the interesting part is what is not stated, I have quite a lot of experience with Agronomist's, and the fact that their only complaint was not enough divot repairers, speaks volumes to me. Nothing is said about how the grounds men had handled the actual playing surface, and one must assume they had no criticism of how they had done their job, other than they should employ more divot repairers.

    We all know the Allam's want to keep staff to a minimum, and these guys were probably just getting on with it the best the could under the circumstances.

    I'd read a bit further down if I were you. He was getting paid it for and he's stated managers of fc knew he was doing it.
    You seem hung up on A P. I'm not, it's just he is the FC chairman. Does he want this **** with his landlords? No.

    How do you know they were looking for a reason to sack them?
    In your long working career have you never known anyone get sacked?
    If it's a sackable offense does length of service come into it?
    I've known plenty of people get the sack.
    How do you now they haven't checked with FC and found out that he's been doing it for years on smc time? They can't prove that with evidence but I bet they now have an idea and that's why they're doing this.

    Divots? I should coco, it's little bits of detritus. Boothferry park often saw divots in excess of a yard in length and nine inches in width!, Players merely picked them up and stamped them back into place, thus saving Stan Coombes the bother.

    Doubt what you like pal, I'm on holiday and have far better things to do with my time than go searching for irrelevant four day old bollocks on Twitter.

    The SMC are not FC's landlords, the council are.

    Paid £40 for his work on Thursday nights after his hours with the SMC had finished.

    Paid nothing on a Friday, any additional duties were voluntary.

    You don't have to be a lawyer to get that one dismissed, AP wouldn't even need to turn up.

    You're the one that brought AP into this, not me, it didn't even cross my mind until you mentioned it.

    Beat me to it, the only thing the SMC owns is the contract to manage the stadium, they are acting on behalf of the landlords.

    <laugh> You seriously want to believe a kit man hangs up kit a full 24 hours before a game!!! GTF
    Why wouldn't I mention AP, it's about a bloke who works for them.
    FC have a legally binding contract with the SMC. Not the council.

    The SMC own the lease to the KCOM and surrounding land which is owned by Hull City Council. The SMC have an agreement with Hull FC and Hull City to rent the stadium. Hull FC and Hull City's landlord is the SMC which is why they pay them rent. The council have no agreement with either Hull FC or Hull City. That was the way the Councillor's planned it.
