Quick question, whats the score with the upkeep of the KC.

Its a great stadium, but I was surprised on Friday night to see an apparent lack of maintenance starting to show. Basic stuff like paint peeling off steel, exterior paint looking marked and dirty etc.

Given this was a Premier League stadium last year (with all the money that generates) is there a local issue with the stadium management company? I seem to remember Hull FC have only limited input?

Suprised if u did. Not noticed myself but they've been spending millions. Floodlights are state of the art LED's, pitch just been relaid. Couple of hundred thousand on tvs etc in the north and new electronic gates around the ground.
Come next yr these will be paid for with north stand closure and un manned turnstiles among other things but upkeep isn't usually a problem

Totally agree. It is starting to look ratty up close.

Pity the PA system is probably the worst in Super League.

I've given up trying to understand what he's saying now. Interchanges are even more of a mystery...

Half of the toilets in South were closed on Friday night. Shabby.

I'm sure the staff are just obeying orders. And we know where those orders will have come from.

Emailed the SMC over the weekend regarding no soap or paper towels in the "tiger" toilets.Third time this season that I have spoken to stewards regarding this problem.They just look at you gormless and mutter about speaking to a supervisor.
You fill in an online form regarding your enquiry and they will direct it to the appropriate department.Have not heard anything yet and have my doubts that I will.

Try emailing the council's environmental health department and see if they are interested. They may not be but you have nothing to lose for the sake of one email.

This might cover it but it is a 'code of practise', the council have shown themselves to be toothless so i hardly think they'll do owt for a bit of tissue paper and soap.

Washing facilities
"... must include soap or other suitable means of cleaning"
It is preferable to have soap dispensers for dispensing liquid soap rather than bar soaps

"must include towels or other suitable means of drying"
which means paper towels are not required if there is a hand drying machine, in fact used properly the latter is more hygienic, sady most don't including how to wash their hands properly in any case if at all & there are a few I've seen at the KC don't bother.
