I think he said the Elton John one was a bit worrying due to reasons he didnt elaborate on.

Can't see the Who making a profit given it was 2/3 empty.

So if it is only going to cost £500 to have our history displayed at the KC , why dont we show the carpet seller what a loyal set of fans we are and pay for it ourselves ???
Im thinking put a couple of collection tins at the club shops and we chip in on match days ?
10p per person would soon cover this and then we can all move on and live happily ever after !!!

Already contacted Alan Johnson and posted his reply a couple of pages earlier

Yes I know, but we need to show the strength of feelings over this.

My concern is that Allam is going to go public in the mail & a lot of people may believe his spiel unless some-one from FC puts their side of the story across...It appears he is playing the divide & conquer game, he has been giving sweetners to a lot of other sports in the city & they think this man is great, FC have to defend their position without breaking any clauses if they can.

Not every sports club has a positive experience. Ask Hull Ionians - the generous gift to them was attached to a request for the deeds to Brantingham Park - which I believe was declined.

Ouch not good, if that is how he operates I wonder what request was made to the dobbins for their gift/loan!!

"Can I never come here again please?"

So that's Ionians. Us. Hull Wasps basketball? Hockey club? If none of us have come out of "negotiations" well, why is this side of the story not being reported? I'd say I'd hope for some balance in the HDM tomorrow, but their journalism usually extends to running spellchecker on printing verbatim what's been said without challenge.

What has he got over the council that is stopping them from getting involved. Lease or not they should be able to step in some how?

To be fair to Mr Allam, for every negotiation that has broken down i bet that there are 20 examples of donations coming to fruition. Whatever his faults it cant be denied that he has been very generous to local grassroots sport.

What evidence have you got that he has been generous to grassroots ?

But an attack on hull Fc that aims to make us homeless is ok then . He wants kc and he does not care if he destroys Fc getting it that's the problem here

There are hundreds of great businesses in this city who sponsor rugby right from under 8s to open age, they are the one's who are generous to grassroots sports in this city & the good thing is they do not have a motive! or a need for their egos to be stroked.

Plenty. Recently paid for new changing facilities for a local junior football club and paid for a community development officer in another sport to name but 2. Dont think he got publicity for either.

Oh that is handy, no link then, however even if true do you really consider that as being very generous for a man with his wealth ?



It costs a youth rugby team approx 7k a season to enter a Yorkshire League, a Conference team approx 25k a season. We have numerous youth teams & 4 Conference teams in Hull, a massive bulk of this is paid for by sponsors from this city, now that is what I would call generous! Thousands of pounds are donated to grassroot sports in this city & I have only used rugby, Allams contribution to grassroot sports is minimal in comparison!

And Rovers have lost £5million since been in SL

Yet the council still bail them out

When the Girls centre of excellence licence was taken from the east riding (it was based in Hull) Allam approached the club saying he would help get the licence back and would sponsor them, he even went to the press with this story, got his picture in the HDM again, and the centre never heard from him again! the guys a publicity seeking fool....helping grassroots....what a load of BS

He has no evidence at all - grassroots sport in this city has always been managed by committee's etc . A good example would be cricket I believe Cottingham CC who play at Hill top have just had Nets installed with the help of Sport England 2 thirds I believe and the rest £7000 raised by raffles etc. These Nets will help right from juniors Not every one needs or wants handouts from ego maniacs like Dr Death. Sport will continue well after him, Any -one who is willing to pay £16,000 PER WEEK to a journeyman like DJ Campbell well folks maybe you can see why he wants to screw us. As has been put so very well by the likes of Mrs B on the finance side even I can work out what is going on.

Perhaps AP was one step ahead there but Allam hit back with the YPI gazump. Looks like Agricultural Colleges could be in for a tempting cash injection offer to make them recognised at NFU meetings throughout the World!!!!!!

I spoke to AP at the first night of Oasis gigs at Ice arena a few years back and said they should be at the KC, His response was, not worth it, there would be no money made at all. For other gigs, say REM if it sold out at 25000, it would still only mean £50k profit for the SMC

REM got 16k.......

Another point to how Allam loves and helps local sport

Last year he wanted to buy Hull YPI cricket club and Hull Zingari cricket club.

And merge them both, with their 200 years of history............
