As Standee says, we must not let this matter drop. All FC fans living in Hull should contact their ward councillor and their MP to let them know the strength of feeling on this issue. Politicians like nothing more to be seen to be in tune with the public mood.

Sorry, should have also quoted what Hutchie was replying to. Hutchie was asking about K Comms. I was told they received an invoice for their stuff at the same time as us, as did Hull City Council for flying their flag at the main entrance, although all the flags (ours and HCC)were back up and flying for Sundays game.

But you are correct, Allam is paying himself. I assume an invoice was raised by the SMC and sent to Hull City Football Club = taking money from Mr Allams Hull City Football Club bank account and putting it into Mr Allams SMC bank account, a transaction most of the City fans are finding hard to grasp and understand

Did I read that correctly. The SMC sent Hull City Council an invoice for the privilege of flying the Council flag over a council owned facility?

So I was told. And KComms too. All three organisations received them.

The council also had to rent office space on a building they built. Must have been a great contract they signed....

Wow, I really am lost for words.

Comments like that are not helpful.

Does anyone know if the Council or KComms have paid their invoices?

The Allams are certainly not doing themselves any favours are they.

Did Phil Webbo say the SMCs contract is up for renewel in 2017 as if so thats the end of the Allams connection with Hull City

I don't think it's "up" so much as there is a re-negotiation clause between the Council and the SMC, but it depends what terms etc are included.

Big money men are not interested in this, and sadly there will still be plenty of people in this city who will still be kissing his backside.
I think this is just a game for this guy and I fear he will stop at nothing until he get's what he wants (the stadium), I think this is only the beginning, it's going to get messy that's for sure.

I increasingly believe he doesn't actually give a monkies about the stadium, he wants Walton Street car park and West Park.

Thats my thoughts which I said a few pages back too. IMO the stadium would just be an added bonus (or millstone around his neck, depending on how he sees it).

We all know what he "thinks" the people of Hull think of Hull Fair, that not a lot of people go and the majority would rather see it developed



It would go beyond just sports fans of this City if he rages a campaign to aquire Walton Street and West Park. I can imagine most of the residents of this City would be in uproar.

why have the club (hullfc) not commented on this outrage, surely astaement of the facts would help.in any case whatever the problem the memoribillia must go back up!!

Can you actually buy a park, surely this isn't possible. He will never get his hands on West Park

Allam is starting to show his true colours now. At first I thought this guy wanted to give the city of Hull a top footbll team and sporting village facilities which all sounded encouraging. Yes he did save city from being in financial ruins (like Pompey and Rangers) which I did applaud for but now he's a fricking nutcase. I want City to succeed and do well but most importantly I want FC to succeed and the way he has disrespected legends of the club is disgraceful. I miss the Boulevard and it would be great to have our own little home again! But this isn't going to happen in this financial climate. There's more to come so be prepared!

Maybe they are still in private negotiations with the SMC, or maybe they are sitting back, quietly, letting it take its own course. IMO they are doing the right thing. To get into a public slanging match with Mr Allam would be stooping down to his petty level.

A few parks have gone as part of development (Queen Elizabeth Playing fields) now houses a school! also lots of school fields were sold for development several years ago. They tend to build mini parks now on the new housing developments.

yeah see your point

One of the big thing trumpeted about the KC (and that attracted Sport England funding) was it's "park land setting", I cannot see any Councillor allowing the Allams (or anyone else) to buid in the parklands, in fact, I never really saw where his "sports village" was going, but then as HWS states, people in Hull hate the fair don't they, so it can go on Walton Street, no problem.....

the guy is a lunatic, and the only thing worse than a lunatic is a lunatic megalomaniac and the only thing worse than a lunatic megalomaniac is a lunatic megalomaniac with money and the only thing worse than a lunatic megalomaniac with money is a lunatic megalomaniac with money, and a petty personal vendetta.

I never trusted him from the moment he popped up. He tried to buy one of the Sheffield clubs before the he got his hands on City, so he wasn't looking out for the people of Hull. He's a ruthless businessman and his business comes first. He’s no philanthropist eiher, everything he does has a motive. I’ll state hear and now that this will all end badly for Hull City, I don’t know when but it will.

The problem I have is most politicians and councilors also have form for being underhand and going back on promises and being seduced or had over by guys like Allam...

I think you maybe right, however my concern is how it will affect Hull FC, I pray we are not a casualty of this ruthless businessman.

you'll get no disagreement from me on that one, "when you need a ticket for the gravy train, you have to acquire it yourself", a sentence said to me by a serving councillor (not at HCC I might add)
