Exactly! At last an FC fan who is not too short sighted to see this. As I understand it, this stand will also provide huge community links and facilities, so will be giving back to the community.

There is nothing wrong with the council investing in all of our representing sports teams, after all, they all advertise Hull as a City. When FC moved to the KC, I wasn't that short sighted and bitter, as to accuse the council of "diddling" the rate payers!

As for the rest of the thread, I'm assuming the OP started it as a bit of information for fans of other clubs, not to start a bitch fight over the pricing war between FC and KR. Most KR fans realise that our facilities for away fans are far from good enough! The important thing is, that the club are, year on year, delivering on the promises they made about ground improvements. Rome was not built in a day, but soon enough, away fans will have a wonderful stand to sit and watch the game in.

Must be the worst 'Village People' tribute on the circuit....

Dear me, not from you lot they won't.

Think the RM stand was built like that in 1989 because the money for the old ground wasn't used with the club in mind by those that had power over it!

The North stand pictures show that executive boxes will be built connecting the two stands together and hopefully in the future when a South stand is built the same will be done while not extending the stand its self at least the corporate facilities will be greatly improved. I think by 2015/16 we should see 4 proper sides to the ground, nearer the pitch and much better facilities for everyone. Maybe in 10yrs time they'll knock down the RM stand and start again.

As someone’s previously said, some clubs travel well away and some don't. Admittedly the standard of ground probably sways some fans but I can honestly say if I want to watch my team I couldn’t really care less if they’re at the Jungle/Odsal or DW/KC.

I appreciate some of the superleague grounds do need improvements though and HKR seem to be slowly but surely getting there, would be a tad boring if every team had a Haliwell Jones in different colours though.

I would like to hope they have the foresight to have the strengh in the new north stand secion that goes around the corner so as to make it possible for us to just remove the super structure when houses the seats in the RM stand and replace it with one that is full length.
