I'm certainly no legal expert but I'm sure there may be breaches of the Human Rights Act here.



If existing disabled and/or disadvantaged users have been effectively evicted from the Airco then the SMC and by doing nothing, the Council, may find themselves in breach of HRA. Allam needs to realise that, for all its problems, we are still living in a democracy and not the plutocracy that exists in his imagination

I am going to spit my dummy out now , I honestly hope that hull city are relegated from the premier league and it costs these two despicable individuals a lot of money. The old mans statement of I do it for the the community is the the biggest lie he has ever told. He does what he does for his own benevolence. I hope they go down and do a Wigan or a Fulham, and end up bottom of the championship.

Allams have already said the groups using the Airco aren't his responsibility. He would probably enjoy the Council being declared as in breach of the HRA. As said already, failure by the council to act now IMO just gives a passive mandate for the eviction of Hull FC at a point in the future of Allam's choosing. Brady can be as animated as he likes in interview, but other than trying to accommodate some of the casualties of Allam's acts, nothing is being actioned. At all.

We should poison him with radioactive tea.

Here here

Absolutely, it is still the people who decide who is in charge of doing what the City of London, media moguls and major campaign donors tell them.

Letter come to light this morning:







Council response on the Airco for all FB group.

What a disgusting family they are.



I don't hope City go down, I just want these two maniacs gone. They're the biggest threat to our club since Lloyd.

He can say what he likes about "his responsibility" bu the fact that such groups have been using the facility over the years simply means that he is responsible, as evidenced by previous performance (i.e. allowing such groups to use Airco).



He cannot legally just turf them out and tell them to find alternatives. He is acting in a highly discriminatory manner and should be brought to book

I might be missing the point here but why do the council have to do anything to help Allam in his quest to get a category 2 training facility? He seems to be threatening (and carrying out) to change the use of a council owned facility if they don’t provide him with the means to do it elsewhere.



Isn’t this just the same as Tesco’s threatening to turn Costello into a new store if the council don’t ‘assist in’ building them one elsewhere?



I’m pretty sure there 2 rugby clubs, an ice hockey team and countless other smaller sporting enterprises that would love the same assistance and none of those take part in a sport that generates the amounts of cash the football teams do. Surely a business valued at £x00m pounds that is in private hands doesn’t need financial help of any kind.



Being a Rovers fan I always saw the whole Allam thing as a bit of an amusing side show that was fuelling your paranoia. There was no way he could throw you out realistically but it rattled the cages. Now I’m not so sure , the man thinks he can do anything and this latest escapade only strengthens that belief. I can now see FC being next on his hit list, and even as a fan of the ‘enemy’ I would back your lot over him.

The "manipulation" of the financial statement to show a six fold increase in direct costs of hosting RL matches and the increasing of beer / food prices for RL matches (to effectively reduce sales to exaggerate the drop in rugby related income) are clear evidence he want Hull FC out.
