Hull City AFC and the Stadium Management Company have decided to lift the present sanctions currently in place against the Hull Daily Mail.
Therefore if the Hull Daily Mail wishes to communicate with the employees of Hull City AFC and the SMC on any required topic then they are free to do so.
We still feel that the Mail would have been better served to communicate informally over their alleged issue on sports content used by KC107.3FM, instead of formally complaining to Ofcom in the first instance.
An informal call from the Mail would, in our opinion, have been more conducive to a mutually constructive and positive relationship between the newspaper and the Football Club/SMC going forward.
However they chose to defend their business interests in a formal, and in our opinion, overtly aggressive manner, which would obviously incite a reaction from the other party involved and lead to a breakdown in the working relationship between all three companies.
The dispute brings no great credit to either party and everyone has had a chance to make their points, some from a far more powerful media platform than a match day programme selling 4,000 copies!
Therefore Hull City AFC and SMC will move on and continue to concentrate on building and running a Football Club and public Stadium that will ultimately make the City of Hull proud.
