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.

| Quote: General Zod. "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...
No Rse licking there then....

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.

Those two elements are not connected.

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.

Let me put it another way.
This East Stand extention has no bearing what so ever on Justin Morgan's recruitment activity or the mount of cash he has to spend.
That clearer for you?

How does it not if they are both coming out of the same pot of cash? Let me put it simpler just for you, if Rovers have 1 million to spend and blow 600k on the stand (these are made up figures by the way in case youd not picked up on that) that leaves 400k for players. If the stand were to go over budget then that has to eat away at JMs player budget doesnt it? Or are you suggesting they aren't coming from the same pot of cash?

So the East Stand Extension is not being funded by Hull Kingston Rovers Limited?

Ah ok. Do you know if that investment is a gift or a loan? If its a loan it still needs paying back from the same pot doesnt it?

Without checking back i am sure you have suggested on other threads that Rovers were skint and rumoured to be heading towards a CVA. The Tower Grange bit was poetic licence.

Nope, i said Rovers were losing money hand over fist and need to become sustainable as Hudge has said, i also said i'd heard rumour of a CVA but thats all. (i didnt say you were heading to one) You still havent replied to those points either if you were planning to?
