i dont see a move to the kc a good one for us TBH.

i cant see most of the fans wanting it me included.

i think were all in agreement that craven park needs updating ,and we seem to have all our eggs in the erf funding basket.
if this dosnt work out the general feeling is we will have to move??

IMO we should be looking at cutting our cloth accordinly ,
i would much rather see a smaller squad so we dont need to have this 10k through the gate to see the club float on its own .
why were pushing for this extra stand,s /revenue is all well and good but if it dosnt come off ???
i would rather see us go back to nl1 and rebuild from there and work our way up.
what happens if we do get funding we do get the new corp boxes and a new stand and we still dont pull in the 10k of fans required then were do we stand???

IMHO we need to cut down on costs and get the club running somewere near sustability not just hope and pray we get the stand and get the 10k through the door.
we have a SL licence for the next few years make use of the time we have to get things in order not worry about a new stand if and when it comes.

IF HKR move to the KC im sorry but i wont be going and ive seen rovers through some tough times from the depths of the nl leagues the struggles to get this club back up has been massive and now to throw it all away and move to the KC ..

and im not an old man stuck in my ways either im 34 and have no intention of going to the KC watso ever

It'd be a hand to mouth existence in the Championship. It wouldn't so much be a case of re-building, but waiting for somebody to invest massively to rescue us - again. Tbh, it'd be better (IMO) just to accept that status, should we choose it, and make the best of it.
The time may come when costs have to be cut, but the board want to give the club every chance of being successful, rather than just surviving. We'd be mad as fans to start demanding less ambition, before it is necessary.

I can appreciate where smartmart is coming from because i am a FC fan who hates rugby at the KC! I thought that FC sold all their history and the identity of the club down the river when we moved from the boulevard, yes i know that the facilities etc are superior but does it feel like home? Absolutely not for mine. No opposition comes to the KC fearful like they did the boulevard, if anything i think most teams prefer playing there, yourselves included judging on recent results!!!! I know the boulevard was tired but i would have loved FC to have moved into the KC while the boulevard was brought up-to speed and we kept our spiritual home. And like you smartmart im not a cobweb collector but a thirty something year old fan!

So what was this "abuse and drivel" you apparently got from Rovers fans when you moved? Because reading the above sounds like it was drivel you must have agreed with ... Which makes you sound rather silly considering you're trying to take the moral hypocritical high ground on the issue.

Mmm more troll juice

U are an idiot for suggesting u cudnt care a less if we rot is that not true whether u like it or not were in super league and my simple friend u wud not get the gates u get wen u play us so that makes great business sense think u need this on u head

Anything that I don't deem sensible and constructive is going in the bin form here in, so if those two adjectives don't cover what you planned to post, save your finger tips.

As i've said before i would sooner stay at Craven park but if it came to the choice of staying where we are and probably dying as a club or playing at the KC and moving forward, then i would choose the latter.
You say you would rather have a smaller squad, this would undoubtedly make us much less competitive and likely to cost us games, especialy toward the end of the season when injuries take their toll, this in turn would probably see gates go down as they generaly do when a club is not performing well, which in turn would leave the club with even less revenue leading to a downward spiral.

You also say that you would rather see us go down to Nat league 1 and work our way up, where have you been for the last few years, thats exactly what we have been doing since around 2005, believe me if we were to go back to that league the club would lose far more fans than what they would by going to the KC, how many fans do you honestly think would follow the club back to that division?, i mean, who do you think would put any money into a club with such lack of ambition?, plus, not to mention the loss of sponsorship, in my opinion the club would cease to exist as a major force in the game and would probably never gain a super league licence again.
Anyway, hopefuly we wont need to worry about any such situations, ive just heard that talks went well today between Neil Hudgell and the council.

You are an idiot, and you need to improve

im well aware of were we came from i was one of the 1000 or so that turned up to see a part time team wade its way through year after year trying to survive.

just asked your self the question if this stand is built do u think the club will achieve the break even figure been touted about???
if we moved to the kc what kind of crowds do u think we could achieve???.
