Kingswood is actually South East Beverley!

That is funny but don't tell them in Beverley though suicide rate would sooo increase

Tickets are available also for the Well which is down the side of the pitch.


Maybe let your club know that aswell as the North stand at the KC stadium is £25 and it's also an end view. Adding also that the exact same view in the South stand for Hull fans is £6 cheaper. Hull are also offering discounts to away fans which started against Bradford which bring the price for away fans to under £20 for the 1st time in seven years. This is for select teams I.E teams that probably wouldn't have brought many fans. You can guarantee this will not apply to the derby. Just like Rovers previous South stand discounts haven't. It's called supply and demand.


We have three areas that you could have bought tickets for the game all with unobstructed views. Your just chatting rubbish now.

You could have just typed your last sentence and saved your energy.

That is not a quality view.

And you expect us to watch the game from there surrounded by dobbins?

Wheres Eden?

It was good fun in there last year tbh

Really don't understand why anyone feels the need to justify not going to the game to Rovers fans or anyone for that matter. If your not going then whatever the reason is its obviously a big enough reason to you personally to stop you going so it's valid. No need to explain yourself to anyone. If certain Rovers fans want to put it down to a fear of losing (despite us consistently taking the most fans to the magic weekend with a shocking losing record) then that says more about them then you.

Those of us on here old enough to remember the derby games of old, played during the winter months at the old Craven park and the Boulevard will also remember the grounds been filled to the rafters on derby days.
Both grounds facilities in those days were no where near the standards of today but you rarely heard people saying.... I'm not going to this or that sh..t hole, such was the fanatical passion of both sets of supporters .
I cannot understand any fan of either side who say they wont go to either of the two grounds on the basis that it puts money in the others coffers or the ground is cr..p etc etc.
In my opinion, anyone who comes out with such excuses is either a part time supporter or a soft pussy wussy .

Wow "soft pussy wussy". That's really telling 'em!!

So there's tickets available in the Rovers part of the new stand as well as in the well? Surely you should be asking your own supporters why they're not going if that's the case?

I've watched many a derby from the away end at the boulevard not having a clue what was going on at the other end of the pitch because of the sheer distance away!! we just got on with it in them days and didn't use it as an excuse not to turn up and cheer our team on win, lose or draw!!

You sir are the first ever Rovers fan I've come across that likes to dwell on the past. No really.

My point which you so spectacularly managed to miss is that nobody should have to give an "excuse" for not attending the game. Whatever the reason happens to be it is valid to that person otherwise they would be going. Whether you think its valid or not is immaterial.

Are you really comparing the view from the Gordon st end at the Boulevard to the thing you laughingly call a stand.

Unbelievable

At least you could see from both ends at the old Craven Park.

It was a light hearted way of conveying my thoughts on such part time supporters, perhaps you didn't get that, I did put a smiley at the end as a clue.
If I said what I really thought I'm pretty sure that I would be banned indefinitely, but as I had no wish to be, I thought a simple light hearted phrase of type was suffice.

Slightly better view due to the elevation but distance wise just as bad if not worse!! there was about a 30ft walkway from the stand to the barrier!!! suppose some fans only see what they want to see??

And we dont see much from the South Stand

Not even close, at the Rovers South stand you can't see anything at distance because it's too low and far away, hard to see the try line closest as it's too low and advertising barriers in the way.

Even Odsal is a better view, i can't believe that any Rovers fans can defend that stand, worst view I have ever had and thats including many lower league grounds.

Don't think i'm condoning the view from the south as I agree it's bad, but it is what it is and moaning every year will not change anything! i'm just making the point that certain fans love to make a fuss about it when in reality the boulevard wasn't much better !
At the end of the day if you want to come fine, if not also fine!! I won't lose too much sleep, same as if I decide not to go to your ground in the reverse fixture!!

That is true you could, one end in particular was uncovered,whilst the other(the toke end) was partially covered by a small shed but the view wasn't to bad as I remember.
However, the old Boulevard wasn't much different from the current south stand at Craven park in relation to the distance from the pitch side, the only probable difference been the terracing was at a slightly steeper angle at the Gordon street end.

And Gordon st was at least 3 times higher enabling you to get a better view of the game.

Which to be fair is what i meant when i said it was at a slightly steeper angle, it was still bloody cold at times though, in fact so cold sometimes that when it was time to visit the open loo, the one that ran the full length of Gordon street end, behind the back of the terracing, my you know what didn't want to know.

Both grounds where cold but I think the atmosphere was better than it is now on Derby days.Too many derbies now imo

Goodness, wow!!, the first eh, how do you do sir!!, where on earth have you been hiding all these years.?
For your information I don't dwell on the past any more than most long standing Rovers fans or FC fans for that matter of whom I include many friends, though admittedly I have had (to date) a reasonably long and occasionally eventful past, of which hopefully I use to my advantage, both in the present and moving forward, in fact you must understand and learn from your past to live your best now and be able to plan for your future, you should try it sometime.

With regards to spectacularly missing your point about supporters not needing to give an excuse for not attending.
I didn't miss it, I was pointing out the fact that quite a few supporters of both sides appear to use the same excuses for not attending each others grounds in the modern era. e.g. poor facilities, or don't want to put money into their coffers etc, as valid as they may be, they are still (for what ever reason) excuses that you rarely came across twenty or thirty years ago.
I also went on to say in a light hearted fashion that......In my opinion, anyone who comes out with such excuses is either a part time supporter or a soft pussy wussy.
It was an opinion, my opinion, OK.

No it's not ok.
