Tigers wanting to develop ground

Hull City are locked in talks with Hull City Council over the proposed purchase of their stadium by chairman Assem Allam. The KC Stadium is on a council-owned area shared between the Tigers and Super League outfit Hull FC. Allam owns the lease which has 41 years left to run but he has stated his intent to purchase the stadium to develop its facilities. "These are ongoing negotiations and it is hoped they will move things on forward," a spokesman for the Hull chairman said.
