Is going ahead according to the sportsflash text, thats great news

More investment.

Thanks Neil and Rob and the B.O.D.

Stop being positive boys! its not allowed Seriously great news and I am sure they will be more!

new signings next.....

honestly think you need to do something about the stand you put away supporters in first as this is terrible and you would get more away fans prepared to pay 20 quid if your facilites were better for them , this is not a pop at rovers just an honest opinion and a fair point

Rubbish. The away fan numbers that show up at the KC show that its the length of the motorway that keeps away numbers down, not the facilities. An extended East Stand will be more or less filled 13 times in SL. A better away end would get filled once (when we play Leeds! ).

Excellent news.

Our Chairman rightly said that at present, we have a situation where if people can't get into the East Stand, then they simply don't bother coming to games because they don't want to witness the game from the North or South stands which is understandable.

IIRC this extention will increase the capacity by 1,200 which [iwill[/i sell and therefore we can realistically look forward to a 9,500+ plus average.

Like our great Chairman said, it's all about facilities and despite Craven Park's flaws, the East Stand is the most vocal and passionate stand in the city bar none.

Excellent work Rovers...

This cant be true. I thought that we were skint, heading towards a CVA and negotiating to share Tower Grange with Dockers next season. Has Big Dave T mis-informed me?

I'd love to see better facilities for away fans but I do see the club's point in trying to increase home support. As has been pointed out the KC has top level facilities for away support but even that fails to bring in big numbers from over the Pennines.
Mind you, I'd far rather see the supporters mixed like you still see at the Jungle.

Where did i say you were skint and moving to tower grange? You'd have spat your dummy out and demanded an apology if i'd have said the something about you that you didnt say.

Read my posts on the Hudge thread, ive been saying all along that the right move is been made to extend the stadium but that it may be at the detriment of the playing staff. (and ive not said anywhere that the extension wouldnt happen have i?) Dont single me out mate. You still havent replied to the points i made on that thread.

How are they not? Hudge said himself that they are in his online Q&A!!

Because I know that the club are still looking to recruit.


Loosely he stated it my be an option to balance the books in the future should the club not be able to "wipe it's face" and then stressed it all about facilities which it is.

So they obviously are connected, but you said they aren't. Thanks for arguing against yourself though, doh!!
