This is a classic situation where the council's hand has been forced to act, if it could have being allowed to just ignore the situation it would have done, otherwise why wait so late in the day to act?
That is a complete and baseless comment, Not living in Hull you seem to have lost any perspective on the dynamics of the relationship with the Allams and also the cronology of events, you ask why we left it so late in the day to act? go back through this thread and look at the dates on the letters instead of unvailed attacks on the councils response
I completely agree with Mrs Barista, what Phil Webbo describes is the MINIMUM EXPECTED action that the council should be doing to resolve this. It's being pretty obvious to all and sundry that the mismanagement of the SMC has had a direct effect not only on the rugby club but also the soccer club too, add in the the rest of the community issues that crop up and anything else you might want to throw in it's just incredible that the council have buried their heads for so long going back years. Failing to act to ensure proper management & running of their assets.
Please list the community issues that crop up so I can answer in a clear and concise fashion and what does "And anything else you want to throw in mean? please also give examples of the council burying it's head in the sand going back years? also an example of failing to act would be helpful
Not content with swishing down the gurgler the opportunity to actually make the stadium/arena etc into a real community place they allowed private individuals (the present meglamaniac included) to push and push, take and take and act without any consideration or integrity to the citizens of Hull.
The Arena was indeed a real community place as this current problem has higlighted, The remark about "Allowing" private individuals to take and take is frankly libelous and without foundation
To sum up, most of your "rants" are just anti council, it's maybe better that you live in Letchworth so to avoid having to suffer the Council, You need to remember that it was this council that saved Hull City AFC Hull FC and Hull Kingston Rovers at times against public opinion
Frankly it makes my blood boil seeing such an amazing stadium/set up that could have been so so much more, squandered and wasted on the back of rank and brazen profiteering.'"
