New signings create optimism that will feed through into sales of merchandize too - though I offer that as mitigation rather than justification.'"
Agreed you're going into your 4th SL season with a fanbase of 8,500 so you don't need Clinton to stimulate merchandise demand, it's already there but is not being met. You can't really spend £1.6m ish on player wages, completely skimp on retail expertise and then complain about lack of revenue. |

I find myself in agreement with you on this one. Recent retail experience suggests that, in this area at least, we are still thinking in NL1 terms. It needs some priority, because as you rightly say, it doesn't require much investment, just some experience.
Right, I need to give myself a talking to, I don't want to ever have to begin a post like that again!

Don't beat yourself up. Even cabbages like me can see the bleeding obvious.

And your point is what exactly? 
Are you saying that when Rovers have been in Super League for as long as Hull have their gates will exceed Hull's?
Or are you just dwelling in the past (again)? |

Why is it whenever someone posts facts they are assumed to be a Rovers supporter living in the past?
The point of my post was to show that it is possible for a club to increase its attendances as Hull have proved.

True. And I hope Rovers do increase their attendances, but even your own Chairman does not aspire to an average of more than 10,000.
More to the point, as many Rovers fans have pointed out many times in the past, Hull's attendances increased significantly after their move from the Boulevard to the KC. How are Rovers going to significantly increase their attendances? |

I'm not sure they can unless they significantly improve the facilities on offer. IMHO our beloved Lib Dumb council should use some of the money 'earmarked' for the KC expansion (for its pie in the sky plans) to redevelop and modernise Craven Park giving it the same focal point status in East Hull that the KC is in West Hull.
Only my opinion mind |

When the KC was built it was always supposed to be a community facility. The promotion of Hull City to the Premier League and Paul Duffen's chairmanship of the SMC appear to have moved away from that i.e. no RL internationals, no concerts.
For my part if Craven Park was to be developed as a genuine community facility and not just for the benefit of Hull KR, I would have no objection to public money being invested there.
