Will the fans who have plaques around the concourse soon be receiving a bill soon under the new terms then.

^^^^ This.

Cheers for the update Phil much appreciated.

As Paul said, potentially great news. Although the tone and content of the Allams response to Councillor Brady this evening leads me to be less optimistic than you are.

The SMC should be an independent trust with no operational responsibilities or profit opportunities resting with any tenant club. This doesn't preclude paying competitive salaries for those in charge but any "profits" should be reinvested back into the stadium and any surpluses should be distributed to local charities.

Hear hear.

Unbelievable, what a cretin. Allam should think his lucky stars and be grateful that he was allowed in this country to make his millions.

My main hope is these are the last desperate moves of a guy who never got what he wanted ultimately and is now trying to ruffle a few feathers before he disappears.

The problem is he has enough money to carry on being a pain for as long as he wants.

Surely though ther council will see how he has behaved and make sure this isn't allowed to happen again with the SMC.

unbelievable really

We can only hope.

The City supporter on Talksport stated that the City Councilors should show respect to Dr Allam. Then he show no respect to the Lord Mayor when he stated that he could not put a sentence together and people like him are running the Council,Both Councilors put a good case plus they are elected by the people of this City. If people think they are not getting value then next Election don't vote for them.I for one believed you earned respect not showed it.Dr Allam has shown disrespect by taking the photo's down of a local hero of this City

Thanks Phil, i know we've had our differences in the past but credit were its due for your help on this one.

Unfortunately the SMC should of being independent however Hull FC where not willing to or able to put the money up to get their say.

The issue is the media pressure may tell on the Allams, which unfortunately shouldn't, the Allams are not in the wrong for the use of their property. Neither Hull City nor Hull FC have any right to to put pictures up.

I understand your disappointment, however as a City fan i wouldn't even know whichone the John Whiteley suite is, or who he is. I didn't even notice inthe Kingston suite that your pictures where even taken down. At the end of the day though both of our clubs will still be here after the Allams, and both will still have pictures everywhere no doubt.

I think its got a bit petty and many people have gone over the top on both sides.

The Allams don't own the KC - something I think which grates a little on them.

You don't know the identity of one of this city's greatest son's. Shameful.

I admit i don't and i am sure i could ask plenty of my friends from this City and others, whether it is right or wrong, more people would know Deano and Nick Barmby. Whether they deserve more attention is debateable, but they will get more attention.

I'm with Karl well done and thanks, lets hope we now get a result we don't want the earth just a bit of recognition for our heritage.

I agree whole heartedly, however why should you have this in something you don't own and don't run. The company running it. Dean Windass's memorabilia costs £20 per game, now even if we go OTT, and say its going to cost £50 per game for Whitely, why can't one of you lot or the council pay for it if its that important.

Profits is easy, losses become problematic then though. The current arrangement allows the council to, if not eliminate risk, at least create a bit of distance from it. There has to be a sweetener for the other party, otherwise nobody would do it.
Turning and keeping profits on a pubic asset is politically difficult, which doesn't leave too many other good options.

Who pays for that ? And what does it entail, 1 picture, a wall? his shirts

How Would You Know????

Not Being Arsy About It, Just Curious..

Whitely Is Just As More Important To The City Then Them 2.. You Don't No Him Fair Enough, But Surely Some City Fans Should As If I Recall The Information Someone Stated Today.. He Trained All 3 Clubs In Hull.. FC, Rovers And City..

And was the last Coach to ever win the Ashes on the most successful Australian tour ever and played 417 games for Hull FC and is a freeman of the city and has an MBE and was brought up in Hull on Hesle Road no its hard to find anything thats important about him really.

Utter garbage.

The KC Stadium is a COMMUNITY stadium. Hull FC should not have to pay to display memorabilia in a public facility.

You are talking out of your now son.

They're not fit to tie JW's laces.

Dear me..

Has Allam brain washed you, in thinking that Hull City own the stadium?. Allam is taking the pish, simple as.
