Can anybody tell me where the away fans will be standing at craven park, will it be in the new stand, or the opposite end once more

The new stand pal. Get yourself there it's impressive and a decent view unlike the other end.

Is the entire new stand for away fans or just a section?

Just a sectionhttp://www.hullkr.co.uk/tickets/introducing-the-kc-north-standrl

"With nearly 2,600 seats, a new restaurant and 10 executive boxes, the North Stand will transform Craven Park's matchday experience - for both home and away fans."

Away fans can buy tickets to anywhere they like in craven park though the new north stand will have a designated section. Nothing to stop you standing in the east stand or well if you get there early enough.

I tagged along with a few Widnes supporting mates to watch their game at Craven Park early last year. Rather than opening the banks of the Humber they insisted that we stood in the 'Well' which was dangerously packed and all you could see was the back of Stanley Gene's head. Glad that visiting supporters will have decent accommodation this year, hopefully Warrington will have a bit more luck than usual too!

Putting the away fans in the same stand as the new family area seems a bizarre choice to say the least, regardless of how much separation there may be.

"The KC North Stand will have a specific area set aside for families who want to experience the unique matchday experience together."

Seeing as it is rare to see more than a hundred away fans at most HKR games there will be plenty of room!

My thoughts also.

Some foul language which is amongst passionate away supporters will take away anything family about that stand.

Didn't Hudgell throw his toys out of the pram when they painted the block on the side blue and say he was having nothing more to do with it?

Blocks A&B will be allocated specifically for away supporters (although they still have the opportunity to use the standing areas and West Stand seats should they choose to purchase online via Rovers website) it is likely that the level of allocated seats in the North Stand will be decided by both Rovers and the visiting club.

Blocks E&F is to be the designated family area.

Hopefully away supporters who have chosen not to visit Craven Park previously will give it a 'go' this year and enjoy their day (result aside of course)

Of the options for an away section it is probably the best. They could have given over the well on one side of the tunnel, but to get a new covered stand with seating and to continue putting away fans in an uncovered standing area might have looked a bit tight.
There have been hints about something maybe happening a the south end, and a small dedicated away stand would be useful. But we know from experience how challenging it can be to get these projects off the ground, so in the meantime...



It wasn't [ipainted[/i blue, the cladding was that colour - in contrast to the various drawings/artists impressions. In fairness that isn't 'our' bit, it is a council-owned education/enterprise facility built at the back of the stand.
There was a bit more to it than that though. There'd been delays caused by administrative errors and the company designing it hadn't done a sports facility before. So there's enough toilets for a normal building of that size, or 2600 people - but as nearly everybody goes for a at half-time at a sporting event, you could do with a few extra for the rush. I think he just wanted to put some distance between the clubs' reputation and the stuff-ups. Difficult to do without taking any of the shine off it, and I'm not sure he entirely managed it, but that's roughly what happened.

No really the stand has 6 blocks.
The away are in the two to the left as you look at it from the pitch. The family stands 2 blocks are on the right.
There is a standard home section of 2 blocks in the middle separating them.

Those poor away fans!

Nothing poor for the away fans. Fantastic view of the game and great facilities.
