No matter who gets which stands, I can see the SMC insisiting that only they sell the reserved areas

To turn it around, not saying 'yes', means saying 'no'. Selfish bloody-minded refusal is not a good look, to the wider RL community or that of KuH, who own the stadium. You can dress up 'yes' real pretty at least.

Even allowing for that, it might still be possible to make something out of it.
Work out roughly what crowd makes it worthwhile for Rovers to bother with the switch, add a few hundred on because they'd prefer not to ideally, and ask for a share of the gate above that. Knocks the ball back over the net, and might even boost the crowd, if Hull fans know not all their cash is going into Rovers' coffers.
Pearson wants a better deal from SMC - he won't get it from this alone, but a bit of political capital won't do any harm.

'No' is the nuclear option, makes Pearson look the villain and gives Rovers fans an excuse not to turn up for his big cash cow game, which he could do without in these straitened times.

"Ambassador, with these Rocher, you're really spoiling us"

I'm sure there'll be enough space in the west upper and parts of the west lower for those scared of heights and also those who've paid for a side view to accomodate them all.
I've spoken to 2 rovers pass holders already who won't go to the Kc on principal and never have done so there'll be a drop there.

Hudge just loves to stir it up and has the little man shouting loudest attitude.
He will be doing this to put our noses out of joint as he knows fully what reaction he will get from Hull fans he also thinks he will make more money for his grubby little club.
If he does rent the ground from the SMC I guess he can also dictate the pricing as the home team.
I don't go to their ground on the principle I don't want to give my money to them and I unfortunately would not attend this game on the same principle.

Or in the East stand with the rest in the West giving you the some of the West as well West upper\North and\or South.

Why is putting our noses out of joint ? I think its funny he is forced to ask to use a stadium in WEST hull.

i wonder what deal he will get, if enough Rovers and Hull fans refuse to go on principle could he end up losing money ? I will probably go unless its changed to be a sky game.

Thought it was already a Sky game?

Well eitherway someone is gunna be upset when it is announced.
Would rather it be you lot instead of us but that is not unexpected really.

If you wanted to be awkward,which you probably will. It'll only cost Rovers money.

So it is, well no reason to give Hudge any money now!

why would we be upset? its at the kc!!

Does anyone no what time kickoff is? Has it been confirmed?

Could be a few amusing chants for this game..'your supposed to be at home' sh!!t ground,no fans'!!

The word awkward depends on your POV.
It depends on which side of the arguement you are on.
Rovers want to hire the KC but FC block it until they get what they want, That is FC being awkward as far as Rovers are concerned.
FC as tenants want 'perks' to let Rovers use the KC but Rovers will only do it on their terms, That is Rovers being awkward as far as FC are concerned.
Like I said the POV is key.
I feel MR has it about right.
