Where would ambulent Hull FC disabled fans who need those particaular seats sit? Just my own personal observations to show it isn't as clear cut as some think it would be.'"
What about parking , surely no passes would be valid and Dobbins would get first dibs

| Quote: ☺East-Sard☺ "In truth, if it did actually happen - I'd want the opposite. As a home fixture I would want the home areas - such as the East/South Stand and West Lower. Obviously we'd never sell all these areas - so maybe something could be done with the west lower. The principle being that us (Rovers) being the home side - get the home areas - particularly east/south stands
I'd also doubt that the fixture would even break 15k - if recent views are anything to go by. I'd est 6-7k Rovers fans would potentially bother, with a similar-ish turn from you lot. Knowing that the proceeds will be going to us will probably put off most of your fans. Then adding I can't sit in my own seat will probably be the tipping point to the rest.
Adding that the bulk of our support will come from our season ticket holders (thus already paid) we'd be almost entirely dependent on how many FC fans turned up, as to whether we even broke even. Quoting Freppy's touted £15,000 to use the stadium, then adding expenses - I'm not even sure it's a good idea to move the fixture at all - what ever our capacity is going to be.'"
Mine was only a example to make it easier to split the ground, if hkr wanted the south, east and parts of the lower west then it would be theirs to have.

you are a sh-t stirrer ..The funny thing about this is when I posted a few season ago that Rovers play the Hull game at
the K C so all fans would get a better chance to see the game ..The Rovers fan Scream why should they give up ground advantage ..Now they on this forum saying it's a good idea ..and they want this and that ..One day if this is true they might make up they mind's ..

Depends if they were using their blue badges correctly and not fraudulently, like you've implied on here before.

What do you mean by "home" and "away" areas? No RL ground is segregated. As the KC is Hull's home ground we have many passholders in the East, South and West stands, just as you have in your East and RM stands. This by default merely makes them unofficial "home areas" but visiting fans can buy tickets for any remaining spaces.
This would be the main difference if you were to be guests at the KC for a one-off home derby, you would have no passholders holding tickets for pre-booked seats in the respective stands. I guess Rovers, as the club renting the ground for the day, would decide which stand would be on the tickets Hull FC sell from their shop. Rovers, as the guest home side, would have tickets sold via the SMC from the KC ticket office, which, in effect, anyone can buy for anywhere in the stadium. I guess your passholders would be given a seat of their choice.
Incidentally, which is the current "away" stand (to use your terminology) at NCP?

You are absolutely correct KT - but on this occasion it was in reference to Hutchies questioning of blue badge entitlement to one person on here (you know her well) implying she may be using one fraudulently.
For some reason KT it hasn't quoted your quote that I intended it to.

| No probs. here - would be delighted to attend an away derby at the KC - upper West or North matters not - a one off novelty.
Most of us boycott Craven Park because of the dire seating arrangements - switch to the KC and that falls away.
I foresee a battle to see who can sell the most seats - we could be at home away. That will push sales up to 20K, brilliant atmosphere etc. win-win for me.
A cynic might think this is the start of unpicking a culture, year after 6 fixtures at KC, year after all fixtures at KC - year after merger with all fans viewing KC as THEIR home ground.

| Good point on the parking, would my parking pass transfer...
It's clear there's lots here for the club to think about.

| Quote: Sheldon "Wouldn't Hkr need the West stand for the cooperate side?
I'd see no problem with hkr getting the West, west upper and north with Hull getting east and south.
Wouldn't that give Hull around 10,000 tickets and hkr 13,500?'"
6,000 in lower West, 5,000 in upper, 4,000 in North. That's 15,000.
6,500 in East and 4,000 in South. That's 10,500.
Take 10% off for unreserved H&S reasons, so you're about right (a few over on the Hull side).
In all honesty, I'd be happy just being allocated the North Stand. Good to get a small group of Hull fans in one area to make a big atmosphere like an away game.

Indeed - I used the basis of home/away areas based on who sold the tickets for those particular areas. As in FC selling East/South/West stands and Rovers selling North and recently some West Upper tickets. If this KR vs FC game went ahead @ the KC, I would expect this to be replicated. Nothing stopping anyone buying tickets once on general sale from any source.
I would assume season ticket holders for Rovers would have an advanced period to choose their seat/stand and after that period would lose that right - but knowing how Rovers balls up info, I'd fear this would lead to confusion with fans.
You're right about Rovers either needing to sinc into the KC ticketing side of things or sell purely through the box office. As said, I'm growing against this idea - too many obstacles to overcome in a short space of time along with potentially more to lose than gain.
TBA by the looks of it. I suppose whatever is or isn't happening on the ground side of things - the RM seating/well area are looking favourite in the short term

Isn't the lower bowl = 20k (being split 6k x 2 + 4k x 2)
West Upper = 5k
and the 500 odd being the boxes n stuff
