No the Hull College deal was only due to last until July this year so it's been very lucrative for the club and most of the £240k was retained. If it was unwise for Hull College to agree the deal that makes it very astute business for Hull KR. Rovers could have held Hull College to the deal but with Sewell Group offering another lucrative deal it was agreed that Hull College will now sponsor the West Stand.
Of course when it comes to stadium naming rights it's something Hull FC don't know anything about because you don't have a stadium, you pay rent to play at someone else's. Hull's cut of the MKM deal? Zero.
This is why Rovers are in so much stronger position than Hull. We have assets which provide income. We also have an owner who is having incredible success away from rugby and is now able to fund the purchase of the freehold to Craven Park which includes a large amount of surrounding land.
While Hull were wracking up huge losses which will continue into 2023 Rovers were actually making a profit.
You are spending big with money you don't have but Rovers won't do that. Once the purchase of the stadium is complete - not far away now - there will be MASSIVE plans for the future because the income will be there to fund it.

his bobness comments really made me chuckle. He should be working for Boris and his propaganda team.
I wonder if the Massive plans will include bringing cooper Cronk over and and possibly winning a trophy.
I personally think craven park will eventually be sold for affordable housing.

Would that be the famous massive R. Sewell sponsor. |

Its why Hudge has taken the club off the market
The ability to purchase the freehold from the Hull City Council and now the partnership with Sewell speaks volumes what his future intention is with the stadium if thats what you can call it.
Its built in the middle of a housing estate and was always the the wrong position for a sport ground.
I have no doubt it will be demolished for a future affordable housing scheme with the help of course of Hudge's pals at the HCC. |

I stopped reading his post as soon as he said we’d signed Gale as a marquee player. Amazing how he must have such inside knowledge to be able to claim this. |

Do Rovers fans realise they’ll have to play Saints and Cats etc, home and away this season?
There’s no Leigh to play theee times en route to Old Trafford this year. |

Caravan Park is being bought to give Grudgell the chance to recoup some of his money that hes used to prop the club up over Gods knows how many years.
Sell some of the adjoining land off, and get some money back.
Buy the “Stadium” and put the debt onto the club (a la Glazers at Man Utd.)
Don’t forget they’re buying an ageing stadium in the middle of a housing estate. They’ll have to repair their own floodlights from now on.
His Bobbess is getting very giddy, but like I said to someone today, we could be two divisions below the Dobbins and we’d still be the bigger club.
