Aye, and as the council will receive even less of the SMC profits into their coffers (i.e. none) than those that were deplored in the Yorkshire Post over thet last 2 years even more bad publicity will fall on the council, perhaps forcing them to reconsider their position re the stadium.



Surely not a contrived policy by the SMC/City owner to make the council look foolish and force them into a renegotiation? No, surely not.

The thing is, public assets have to be sold at market value. Anyone party to a decision that loses public money can be held personally liable under a surcharge. Can't see any politician wanting a 35m surcharge.

The council would also look foolish if a Super League club which had a tenancy of a "community" stadium found itself homeless.

Business as usual, then.

Not if the Allams negotiate a referendum, and the public agree.

I'm not sure that's correct. I doubt the council can ignore the law regardless of the result of a referendum.

A referendum would exonorate any individual from personal prosecution.

it would be much better for us to have our own ground it surely cant cost to much to knock up a stadium like warrington have proper little rugby ground and it would put an end to the ridiculous ticket prices and rent hull fc are paying at the kc and we would be able to get a great atmosphere back just like the good old days at boulevard. we can only dream of course though lol

If the council were to give the land away. Probably around 20 million

Have you tried contacting Tony Larvin? Rolling in it apparently.

OMFG...All this ridiculous speculation because Holdsworth could, nt practice.

Bring on the daft trolls.

You could, nt make this one up.

Is this the Drovers board?
