[quote="The Independent (May 2007)":1a4c25jw]Today the east [of Hull], which contains the biggest council estate in Europe, is poor, a place of high unemployment and low expectation. The west, which has the city centre and the university, is posh and prosperous.[/quote:1a4c25jw]:5017.jpg |

If just one Rovers fan could give a good reason why a new Stadium should be built in East Hull then I will consider changing my view but not a single reason has emerged.
The Boulevard work will benefit the whole area, Hull are also contributing to cost.
What would a new Stadium do for the area in East Hull some building work at CP wouldn't? What is being spent at the Boulevard could be spent building community beneficial projects at CP but no, Rovers fans don't want that because all they really give a stuff about is a new stadium for Rovers, they don't care what facilities are included for the local kids or jobless because it is all about the Rugby Stadium.
And if the stuff the players are telling people is true Rovers wont be needing any extra seats in CP for a while yet as results wont be picking up ![]()
Hopefully i can justify your comment then you will see the light,
HullFC average attendance in SL 1998 onwards
Boulavard 1998 = 5143
Boulavard 1999 = 5103
Boulavard 2000 = 5667
Boulavard 2001 = 5821
Boulavard 2002 = 7126
KC Stadium 2003 = 11,479
KC Stadium 2004 = 10,971
KC Stadium 2005 = 10,862
KC Stadium 2006 = 11,360
KC Stadium 2007 = 13,470 (year the derbies started)
KC Stadium 2008 = 13,313
KC Stadium 2009 = 12,009
KC Stadium 2010 = 13,300
My point being that before their new stadium Rovers have consistantly outsold them in super league years and after a new stadium FC have virtually doubled there fan base, surely the same could happen in East which could then be only good for the economy in large as more fans from other parts of the country would travel and spend their hard earned the way both sets of Fans from this fair city do every other week!!!

Shame that project didn't take off now isn't it.

We played 14 games before your post losing 8 of those matches. We then played a further 16 games since you made your joke of a post losing just 6 of those matches. Just how did results NOT pick up.

Rovers certainly need to improve the facilities at Craven Park. People talk about Rovers capacity of 10,600 and immediaetly say we don't need to increase capacity. Straightaway you can take 1600 from that capacity because of the south stand. Not many people would happily buy a ticket for the south stand.
Last year we had a waiting list of people wanting to buy season passes for the East stand. Those fans bought season passes for the North stand instead. Increase the East stand capacity and those pass holders move into the East stand, Straightaway you'll get more fans into Craven Park as you don't have to open the South stand and park fans into that area they'd instead be offered more tickets for the North end of the ground which is far more appealing.

Motto of the week -
It is the way of the weak to secretly bleat to those in authority rather than fight their own battles.:27608.jpg |
