Quote: Dave K. "One thing the SMC, need to learn from Rovers is using the stadium for events, when was the last time it held a big event.
It offers a good size stadium with excellent transport links.
If they held a few events, they could make money and that could reduce the costs to both clubs.'"
That is a very valid point. Rovers have in the past 3 or 4 seasons utilised their ground and facilities to bring in extra revenue streams. All rugby and football grounds for that matter cant just sit back and expect revenue on match days to cover the running costs of their clubs. All grounds have to be used to their maximum revenue generating potential, whether that be for business conferences , boxing matches or pop concerts, they all bring in much needed extra cash. I remember many years ago at St George in Australia. They made a fortune from having rows of slot machines incorporated into their leisure facilities. I'm not suggesting that every club goes down the road of having casinos built at their grounds but it is simply an insight into how some clubs maximise their revenues streams. Hull Fc and their new owners could probably come to an agreement where they could stage events at the KC on the proviso that all running costs and profits are shared equally.
