Something similar to the current North stand at the south with a roof on. Can make it into a family stand. Would close in the ground and make it look half decent.

The reason the away support is so low is because of the facilities. We would bring a lot more than 1k if you had a good away end.

It is not just for away fans either, it is also an overflow for the home fans. Like at warrington, their south stand sells out every game (same as your home stand) so fans always end up in the away end.

So it would get used.

It's prob best u go play with a bus or sumet

Old saying If you build it they will come it could be our field of dreams

apart from perhaps a lick of poundstretcher's finest paint,i can't honestly see Craven park changing at all in the next couple of years?

Is that a statement or a question?

The much talked about big screen will be installed during the off-season as well as electronic advertising boardings. Progress may seem slow on face value but it is being made.

I'd forgotten about that. Is it still the one from the back of the councils shed or have we acquired a more recently "procured" one? There's quite a few massive telly's going cheap on ebay, or so I'm led to believe...

Delay to North stand down to the developers getting their numbers wrong, according to the YP.

Nothing that a £1 million loan from Allam wouldn't help solve

Will be interesting to see what happens next. The previous cost of £6.5m was going to be borne as follows:

ERDF Funding 2.3m
Enterprise Hub etc 2.3m*
Hull KR (Stand cost) 1.9m*
Total 6.5m
* Via central government loan, interest rate and term tbc.

I think they're now saying that the cost is actually around £7.3m, so it remains to be seen how much of the overruns are attributable to understimating the stand cost, which Rovers will pay for, and how much the Enterprise Hub pays for. On a pro rata basis would be another £200k ish for Rovers to borrow, or maybe a simple draw-down from the soft loan from Mr Allam.
