SMC groundsmen gone

[Trumpton Tiger.]

That just goes to show further that they jumped on an isolated opportunity, whereby there had been a rugby game the day before a EPL game, which affected the pitch and didn't give it time to recover.

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

 

[Chilton's Hundreds]

There hadn't been a RL game played the day before when the independent survey was carried out.

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

And they appear to have acted on it ? Who do you think asked for the survey ?

Gentlemen's agreements only work when dealing with gentlemen.

That's why I didn't mention gentlemen ...

 

[City Man]

I never wanted Adam Pearson to come back and still don't. I like some of the things that the Allams have done and tried to do but not everything. I was opposed to Duffen and well Bartlett was simply beyond words.

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.

Get off the fence...

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.

 

[Chazz Rheinhold]

He wasn't working for them it was voluntary. AP has done nothing wrong, has nothing to be worried about and won't get involved in this at all, the fact you've mentioned suing him is actually laughable.

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.

 

[Chazz Rheinhold]

From what I see this case is that Ehab, for whatever reason, trying to find a reason to get rid of these guys. Seems to me this guy has been doing this kit job for a long time, so why now are they jumping on it, for the reason I mention above.

Most employers would have said to him, look I know you have done this for a long time, but we want you to stop as we feel this could be effecting your job with us.

But as I said, they were just looking to find a reason to sack them, which frankly is a underhand and despicable way to act.

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.

 

[Chazz Rheinhold]

I just saw it on Saturday, I can't remember the bloke's name.

Hmm I'm beginning to doubt this with your known OCD.

 

[TwoWrights]

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.

I thought that's what you did.
Can you give us a flavor of it.
Was it I say fellows your taking others jobs?
Or you're ****ing ****s and your family want killing.
Or somewhere in between

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.

 

[HCAFC (Airlie Tiger)]

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.

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.

See post 716, you brought AP into it.
