Quote ="rover49"Forget FC, there seems to be a general feeling that they don't want to come because it means giving Rovers money (i assume Wire, Leeds etc let them in for free), you could put them in a luxury new stand with a comfy seat, but if its stopping giving us MONEY that makes them desert their team for derbies, then its irrelevant what stand you build.

I disagree. If there was a covered stand for away fans with protection from the weather, paying a reasonable price and decent views then we'd fill it whatever the capacity.
Fact is we play in Hull 14 times a season. 13 are in a state of the art modern stadium, the other is where we're openly treated like 2nd class citizens and exploited financially. Some on here may think that having a chairman who openly slags off the bigger club across the city is great but it isn't, it's pathetic. If my club suddenly put the price up for the derby to £30 for the North stand it would be pretty much empty, particularly if board members were openly laughing about it in some of the local hostelries.
