Think they need to move on to be honest. I didn't go down this route when I was sacked after meeting my new boss for 10 minutes, purely cos he wanted to hire a ****ing gorgeous but seriously lacking woman instead. I laughed to myself when he was sacked himself 9 months later and the girl sent packing after doing a woeful job which just made me look better in everybody's eyes.

Perhaps these men can seek similar solace when the Allams go and we're left with a **** pitch.

Can't blame someone for wanting to clear their name, being sacked for gross misconduct is hardly going to help them find gainful employment elsewhere.

Crowdfunding for unfair dismissal case...

Unfairly Dismissed by Stadium Management Company

Introduction – fighting for the jobs we love

We are the KCOM stadium groundsmen. We have 55 years unblemished service between us. Despite total dedication (and a good few awards) during this period we were sacked in April for gross misconduct for what we believe to be quite ridiculous and extremely hurtful allegations. With the support and backing of our friends, families and legal advisors we are determined to fight for justice.

We don't want the inevitable attention this may bring but we had no other option if we were to fight for the jobs we love and to clear our names. This is not just for us but for our wives, parents and children. We're proud men who have always taken immense pride in our work. We wouldn't normally be able to afford a legal challenge like this against such formidable opposition. There is no access to legal aid and we didn’t earn big salaries so we hope the people at SMC understand why we had no choice but to take this route. We look forward to the day we can hold our heads high again and get back to work providing both Hull City and Hull FC with a playing surface both clubs and their fans can be proud of.

Have they not ever heard the words, join a union??
Reading that it's not helping their cause. So what I was told is true.

And the pitch is **** and has been for years.

It has never been mentioned who puts the divots back in after FC games. Or do they just let a few of their fans roll across the pitch after games?

Was there such a job as groundsman at Boulevard??
Ankle length grass and bumpy pitch. Not exactly Alan Titchmarsh type stuff is it?

"Alf Macklin says don't cut the grass as we're playing Leeds. Oh and flood pitch too if possible. so as to produce a mudbath- type pitch."

Cue one of the eggchasers on here saying it was a better pitch than BP.

I really, really, really hate rugby league.

That is all.
 
Just because our owners are vindictive, eccentric and mean-spirited, people are assuming these two must be innocent.
The truth will out.
