On the basis we get use of the stadium for first team games ONLY (13 SL games, a friendly against rovers after perhaps a cup game) let's say 15 a season. City get use of the stadium for first team games, some U21 games, training etc, the costings look "manipulated" to say the least. 40% of total cost for 20% (estimated) usage does not add up.
The recent increases in food and drink prices is also either poor management (if they make a loss on food and drink then they really are business inept) or an attempt to reduce income from RL games further as less people will pay the now extremely over priced things they sell.
Either way, as a tenant of a facility owned by the public sector I would hope the management of Hull FC are in communications with the owners about this situation and why it appears the figure look stacked against Hull FC.
Have a look at the notes to the accounts for 2010 which Allam signed off. FC made a positive contribution to the SMC before indirect cost allocation.
As stated elsewhere, we put £600k into the SMC each year. A loss of £1.1m implies it costs £1.7m for us to play at the KC 13 times. £131k per game. Does anyone know what the costs are for Wigan and Huddersfield?
Did the SMC make a profit on the squash and polo?
The HDM and RH won't pose any challenging questions, that's the only certainty.

Maybe its time the citizens of Hull started asking the stadium owners then.

What's the odds that we're being charged something stupid for the pitch markings to be changed from football to rugby, for the football posts to be taken down and then the whole shebang reversed when we're done.

For example, city's average attendance in the first 6 years was about 16k, ours was under 12k, but the SMC managed a profit. Now Hull FC is losing them £1.1m with attendances down about 2k.
Just repeating this post for the sake of the City Not606 forum, as some seem to find it difficult understanding the difference between the words first and last.
