That'll be two then, one in the West, one in the East. After all, we all pay council tax

Why would Allam compensate you lot with a new 20k purpose built stadium? you are not tenants of the KC

FC & CITY Supporters will need to get a coach to your home games how ironic.

It would be the council who build you one, the Allams who owe you nowt.

i always thought east hull residents had their council tax covered by the benefits system

wrong

It was stated on the radio by a council spokesman, that the Allems had not tables any bid for the KC.



At the end of the day, they do not have THAT much financial clout. They apparently are looking for ownership of the KC to borrow on the back of to extend it

All joking aside, its a fairly restrictive property. There is hardly going to be a high demand should the KC come up for sale, so it doesn't offer that much security for a bank other than continued use and bums on seats. If they borrow on the back of ownership and go breats up (meaning City would go breasts up as the loan would be tagged to them) the lender would be screwed.



With this in mind, needing the rights of the KC to borrow on to extend it, indicating that they do not have the readies to hand to extend, where do they think they will get the £60m they claim they would need for the Melton project? Quite frankly, that would just be the diposit

Where's the irony???



In ay event this'll never happen. The Allams simply do not have the personal wealth and I do not see how it would present a viable investment in Hull for lenders or hoteliers and the like.

Credit to Wire, spending £2mill expanding the HJ

The council repurchased the freehold of Craven Park when you went into administration to stop you from going under. They then organised a peppercorn rent courtesy of KCD (formerly Gaingroup). Your East Stand extension is funded by the NHS and the RFL. Your North Stand is courtesy of a central government loan facilitated by the Council. I think you've already done rather well out of public funding. At least we pay a commercial rent for our use of the council's asset.

Not for me....10 mins down the road.



On saying that I don`t think it will happen. This has been used as a plan to buy the K.C!

I love it Dave - Hull City lets all support them - the only time they have had any 'success' is while they have been at a Stadium paid for by the people of Hull - during the Needler times they had the odd moment - playing Chelsea in the cup for instance in 1966 but nothing of any substance compared to what Hull and Hull KR have brought to the city. The Allams appear to have a vision but let them get on with it - Its in the East Riding for Gods sake.
