Signed

Once completed, the facility will no longer be able to stage sports such as netball, trampolining, gymnastics and basketball.

A special £20,000 temporary surface is set to be brought in to allow the Airco to stage the British Squash Open later this year.


YOU BET IT IS!!!!

Signed.

Why doesn't he build a new pitch at Melton next to his new stadium.

Oh, hold on.

Just a couple of the stories emerging from this:

Hull High Fliers Trampoline Club, having been running for 34 years now, have nowhere else to go in the city.

The Yorkshire Jets (one of only 8 netball superleague franchises) who bring elite level netball to the city twice a season will no longer be able to do so.

And my pal who was looking to hire the venue has had an email telling him that it "probably won't be available now".

Even with their £20k floor. He is taking the mickey.

The Allams are scum

Let's see the SMC is losing money so lets spend £50k + £20k on a temporary floor so that we reduce the income from the venue.
Really good business sense MR. Allam.

If it wasn't so annoying and serious you would laugh.

On another point doesn't the venue belong to Hull City Council and I would have thought such a major alteration to the venue would need approval from them. Taking it to the extreme if the Allams wanted to dig up the pitch and make the KC into a Swimming Pool would the Council be able to prevent them?

This is appalling the arena and stadium were built for community use. The council have created this by agreeing to the lease agreement that basically gives whoever is in charge of the SMC a free reign to do whatever. I know they never envisaged a dictator to by in charge but they should never have been so stupid in the first place.

Burnsey giving it the coverage, just to prove people wrong
