The premier league sign a deal with Sky which gives £10m per match and untold riches to the clubs, and he goes cap in hand to them for £20m. Is it any wonder they have rejected their approach.
Who on the council thinks that a further 10000 seats for an asset that is LOSING money (you can't argue with the SMC accounts ) and a further £20m loan will work to their benefit?

The old "rugby wrecks the pitch" argument being trotted out again too.
We've played 2 games at the KC since September, so let's just have a look at the pitch. Anyone got a photo from the start of the Rovers game (when we hadn't stepped on it for months)?

I believe we should turn a blind eye and give a deaf ear to the baiting from all at Hull City. We don`t need the stress and worry aimed at us from said club. Let them go on and on to no avail. We`re there for a minimum of another 15 years and hopefully as many Hull City chairmen. Lets just crack on.........
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and proudly proclaiming `Wow, what a ride`

looked good to me!
most footy fans wouldnt want to admit that its their own sport that wrecks the pitch! even the groundsmen at old trafford admitted this

I think the council are being quite crafty and know full well the Premier League would say no. Allam is keen to portray the council as blockers who won't develop or sell the stadium, by doing this they look like they are actively trying to improve itm while not getting accused of wasting taxpayers cash as the Premier League would fund it.
