The stadium is now a joke, sooner we get out the better,
Been saying for years its a mill stone, nobody would listen.
A new, simpler tenancy agreement could offer benefits for all stakeholders - the council/people of KuH, City, FC and probably a SMC, IMO.
The council would ideally like it to cost them nothing. They could allow the clubs to be tenant-managers, but a SMC willing to take on risk and mediate makes sense. To balance that risk it has to able to charge rents that give it a chance of turning a modest profit.
Hull FC could really do with greater certainty of expenditure and without the above inflation increases in ground rent.
Get a sensible estimate of how much it will cost to run and maintain over the next ten years, add a bit to make it commercially attractive, divide between City and FC on the basis of number of games played and peg to inflation. Bin-off attendance modifiers and ticket buy-ups.
Certain parties are willing to cut their nose to spite their face at the moment though.
