The board at HKR should take into account that Away fans have to travel Wigan/Warrington/Saints /Salford /Widnes
have about 2 hours ride along the M62 and the same back, the last thing you need is getting wet through and having to sit in wet gear on the way home .Rovers want to get to a 10.000 gate to do that they have to encourage away fans to come .and that means keeping them dry .The 5 teams stated, you are under cover if it rains ,They Boards have done something about it

All their boards have done something about it with a fair amount of help from commercial backers, and crucially their local authorities.

What you wouldn't want is a situation where two clubs in one city inhabited older grounds, but only one of them got the chance to move into a new state-of-the-art stadium with the football team, with loads of council backing, while one got very little help from the council.

Know any cities where that would happen?

No, where did this happen? It certainly never happened in Hull. Both rugby league clubs were invited to move to the KC stadium when it was built.

WE WERE OFFERED THE KC STADIUM TOO AT THE TIME AND DECLINES :READING:

ALSO, SOME OF THE FUNDING FOR OUR NEW STAND IS FROM THE COUNCIL FROM AN INTEREST FREE LOAN :READING:

COUCIL ALSO HELPED IN THE 90S WHEN WE WERE IN FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY. THEY ALSO OWN THE LAND AND CHARGE US A VERY CHEAP RATE :READING:

CRAVEN PARK IS ONLY ABOUT 22/23 YEARS OLD :READING:

NOT EXACTLY TRUE YOUR STATEMENT SILLY :SUBMISSION:

I will answer your post with respect .When the KC Stadium was getting built The 3 Hull clubs were down to share the Stadium .I know this is a fact I work with 2 of the City Councilors both were big HKR supporters they were totally gutted when Rovers turn down the chance to move into the Stadium .Rovers fans want to come across as that they haven't been offered help it's they war cry.They moved from The Holderness road ground with a lot of help .Don't fall for they sob story They have has a lot of help from the Council and Commercial backers

I for one aren't bitter our ground isn't brilliant it was designed poorly but at least we are putting it right new north stand 2013 and a proposed south stand covered. hull kr put our words into action though I cannot speak for other super league grounds but some are promising or have promised new stadia to the rfl but never produced it. They come out with more spin than a dvd!


You mean like promising a 14k capacity for 2010, that kind of spin?

No, but at the KC the away fans get hammered for an extra £4 - £6 compared to the home fans in similar seating!!

I don't know of ANY cities were that would happen and it certainly did'nt happen in Hull.
Rovers had the chance to move into the new stadium but turned it down. They turned it down because Paul Caddick promised to upgrade their ground and invest in the club. If Rovers had come on board the new stadium would have been located in the Sutton Road area (East). Unfortunately for Rovers Caddick pulled out and you were stuck with what you have got. You get a lot of help from the council, including a peppercorn rent and a new 6.5Million grant. They got the land for their "stadium" from the council for virtually nothing (some of which they sold on to Kwiksave!). The above post is so far from the truth it's laughable, but typical.
My apologises to Widnes fans for this post but these Dobbins have no idea what actually did happen with regards the KC stadium, they need to be told.

Spot on matey I was talking to the Ex Councilor in Morrison about this and he said nearly word for word .Matt is a big Rovers fan and he spoke to the Rovers board at the time. He stated it would be in their best interest to go with the other 2 Hull Clubs .But they still turn it down .Matt still say it's HKR biggest mistake
