I’m not interested in a squabble about who’s bigger or better in Hull, both clubs getting an A grade is good news.

But Craven streat is far from awful. Let’s not over complicate it in that it’s some luxury bespoke dining option, but what it is is an opportunity for the club to generate additional revenue which would either be spent elsewhere or not at all. It’s also great for the fan experience - live music, street food options, kids activities etc. It becomes much more of an event and much more memorable for the fan - equating to an increased spend and increased chance of return. We’ve now seen charities getting involved promoting there issues, we have seen pop up retail stores from other brands, and we have seen social media figures & “influencers” (No, me neither) gaining social media traction after visiting. All of that is a net positive for the club and to a lesser extent wider game.

It’s why most clubs are trying to replicate something similar

Really??? Why don’t we just hope Hull as a City is a force again in RL like the early 80’s! Fear to come to the City to play either sides.

We don’t need to keep scoring points against each other’s stadium.

Rugby is the winner.

The Derbys and the rugby on the field is where the fun is. The atmosphere, the passion of the two sides is unrivalled.

Well done to both sides for the hard work to achieve the IMG requirements

While id love our own ground again, fans need to remember that our crowds at the MKM wouldent fit in the Boulevard. The 12k we got for the final game there would give health and safety sleepless nights in todays era. With the size of the site and modern rules even if we had rebuilt the Boulevard I reckon you'd struggle to get a 10k capacity there now.

The MKMs atmosphere was good in the mid 00s when we were consistently good, its the years of disapointment that have caused gloom in the stands not the stadium.

I dream of the day when we have a derby that really means something, a CC semi or final (it really is amazing we havent drawn each other in the cup for decades, especially in the new format where SL teams join late)

The only playoff we've had is in 2010 and even then it was 6th v 7th so not exactly grand final hopefuls facing off, while im sure Rovers enjoyed their night they got hammered the week after.

Salford have shared the link to the 'Handbook' of how the scores are calculated https://www.rugby-league.com/uploads/do ... pdated.pdf The social media stuff seems open to abuse to me, like to Hull get to count all the Bangladesh scammers who comment as followers?

The Boulevard would have needed extensive work on all four sides of the ground for a 16 - 18000 capacity . Both ends could have been brought forward with new covered standing terracing , Same with the threepenny , Rebuilt like the one at wire . The problem stand would have been the Best stand were there wasn't much room to increase it's size .
