In top form in a YP article today, praising the fans and saying how we've not lost a single sponsor. Also reaffirming his motivation - the club are working on all sorts at the moment - despite difficulties with the Allams. Could be a new training ground as well. Hope we can get a result Monday as the players are really looking forward to it.

Yeh great piece from Adam and well done to everyone who has stuck with him fans sponsors advertisers and box holders and thus galvanised his will to go toe to toe with the Allams for at present it is a spirit that seems to run through the club from the owner to the very players themselves. I guess that is the printable side of what we have been hearing about that situation from elsewhere. New stadium and training ground still on the agenda it seems.

Do we rent the training ground too?

The Allams own the training ground but we have a long(?) lease, so I assume that was a one off payment.

Got a feeling a training ground is in the offing

Re: AP : Sat May 15, 2021 8:56 pm  

Our lease of KCom is expiring relatively soon, so this is probably focusing the thinking. Something needs to change, be it the relationship with the SMC, new owners of the SMC, or a new Stadium. Hull CC need to finally step up to the plate as well.
Glad AP seems re-enthused. We’d be lost without him.

We are blessed to have him after the Hetheringtons.

Very lucky to have him, and sometimes its actually better in the long run to have well established local sponsors than big corporates who will cancel at a moments notice.

Would love us to have our own training ground and stadium. Maybe buying a big site with 1 stand for academy and training games would be a first step, with more to be built later?

From a financial point of view you've got to wonder how much we pay out in the

Rent for the training ground
the SMC tenancy agreement I'm not sure of all the agreements but I guess there's a few financial hits
One being a percentage of ticket sales over 8500 , is it ? goes to the SMC
Somebody mentioned having to pay for Sneyd to practice kicks etc
Paying 53K out to play the Catalans game
Food and beverage sales how much do we keep if any at all

All which could be kept if we had our own stadium and training ground, and reinvested into the club
