Is it none of our business, well I doubt we won't get penalised in all this too somewhere as we all know they don't like us and certainly don't like our owner. What does everyone think is actually going on here?
Having not lived in Hull for many years now, I don't follow the news about Hull City very closely. I'm curious - do any of the City fans actually still support and stick up for the Allams?

I suspect the lease doesn't cover this sort of thing, so thy are doing what on earth they like right now.
The football is now a very long way down the list of their concerns now. This IMO is about using their power as primary tenant to punish the council for not gifting them the stadium to borrow against for commercial purposes, and the fans for not providing blind, blanket adulation when they put a lot of money into the club. As to where it goes next, no idea. There could be an end game here where they allow the stadium to fall into disrepair and claim the SMC is loss-making to an extent that games can’t go ahead for example, but then they would be in breach of their contract. They’re clearly enjoying the long game and weekly, incremental humiliation of the council and City supporters so I can’t see that changing anytime soon.

To be fair the Walton Street car park thing is the council, they have started locking the gates to stop antisocial behaviour, gypsys getting on to camp etc
As for the Allams, I reckon our next issue will be opening the North or West Upper if our pass sales keep up as we may need them for bigger games, I hope we have something conrete in writing with agreed prices, otherwise theyll find a reason to keep them shutl
You lot will able to stage a derby this year won't you? We haven't gone through all the excitement of getting relegated and promoted again for you lot to upset your landlord and we have to put you up twice at ours. I've withheld 10% of my council tax as I refuse to keep paying your rent. Maybe the Allams are secret Robins. They give us a million gratis and well they keep on f#cking you over. They aren't all that bad.

Hudgell said that Allam demanded his money back in full just 3 months after he gave it to the Dobbins which he did! He's not too popular with your chairman either which you'd know if you ever spoke to him!

Well they are abhorrent scumbags so it's almost a given that they will be Robins

It was the actual gates to West Park that were locked all along Walton Street, so no one could cut through the oark to the stadium.
