| Quote: Gordon Gekko "TBF there was a restrictive covenant placed on the land at the time of purchase and it was better for the council to have the land used than to remain barren for years. Also Wastewise pulled out when Rovers went into administraion.'"
A covenant which was subsequently lifted so rovers could sell off some of the land due to financial problems. The council later bought back the land they had given rovers in the first place.
No issue from me for them doing it but rovers fans really shouldn't bleat about getting support from the local authority |

They bought the land then immediately leased it back on a 250 year lease, therefore it becomes an investment. In all honesty Hull fans shouldn't be so smug about council involvment in club finances when you consider the leg ups they have received in the past 10 years or so.
Also iirc HCC originally got £155k for the site, well below market value, but not free as some have alluded to. |

OK six although of course I'd not expect you to agree with me.
1978-79 - We were won Division 2, Rovers won Division 1 (although we had a bigger average attendance)
1980-81 - Rovers finished a few places and 4 points higher than us
1983-84 and 1984-85 - Rovers were Champions.
Last two seasons.
We've been top dog in tweny-odd out of 31 seasons. Not a bad record at all. |

Cant believe he is attempting to state that having a bigger average attendance could cancel out winning the first division championship! On that basis we would have to give them 83/84 and 84/85.  |

Did you deliberately omit the 1980 season??  |

If you are not part of the solution then you are more likely part of the problem...: |

What other reason could you have had for including the average attendance statement? I'll refrain from coming back at you with a personal insult. Usually a sign of lack of intelligence in my experience. |

On a serious note you admit to always struggling attendance wise even as the then RL Div 1 Champions however the key to your financial security seems to be built around a 'build it and they will come' philosophy ie extend the stadium and average over 10k consistently.
Is this realistic? Are there fans waiting to make an appearance at Craven park?

Blind faith? Finger in the air guess? Head in the sand approach? |
