Thats more like it just goes to show what can be done that should please both sets of fans hip hip

Ahh, I see.
Fraternal thankyous to Hull FC for facilitating this solution.

A curve ball, good solution though.

This now raises the weird scenario of having to pay to go to the now away derby which will be at home.

"No way any of my hard earned cash is gonna' line the pockets of Adam Pearson"

Hull and the SMC will be happy. It gives the pitch at the KC another 7 days after being reseeded. And Hull also get a profitable good friday derby. Before this fixture change they where away for both Easter fixtures.

Indeed. Now we have 2 away games to fund over Easter, including the most expensive tickets of the season.

Just cut down on them choccy eggs squire

how much for the north stand

i want a match ticket not the actual stand

I thought Wire were the most expensive at £30+

i paid £18.50 for my ticket at wire last month

North stand is £23 in advance and £25 the week leading upto the game.
No mention of an £1 charity fee though

Dont understand.... is the North Stand going to be built between Good Friday and the 23rd July? I think not

Its going to be a building site all season, so what difference dsoes it make.

I buy 3 season passes to watch home games, book my holiday around fixtures and now will miss the home game on 23rd July. (I must add I booked my holiday before the fixture date was originally changed from the 20th July)

Totally =#FF4000Edit-ASoff at the minute.

I suggested that the swap will allow the KC to be free almost for the whole of July - meaning the new pitch can be relaid a week later, allowing the city a chance to host the exiles game in midweek during early July.

Maybe the Nrth Stand (now its dismantled) can be reassembled at the other end (with modifications) to enable a bigger crowd at your home derby - being played on your home turf.

that move (golf stand to south end) will reduce capacity further by 400

The Derby match has been switched as the statement says for Health and Safety reasons it gives Rovers about four weeks to clear the area ready for building to commence. The golf stand will not be moved to the south end as it would reduce the capacity even further.

Am I right in thinking that the July fixture got switched to a Monday?

Yes

While moving the Golf Stand to the south stand end would cut capacity...more Hull fans would be willing to pay for a seat nearer the pitch, and Rovers would be able to charge more per ticket.

Hell we charge you £20 for the riverbank so if we moved you forward you'd be looking at Beyonce prices.

More than £20!!?

On the positive side - all is not lost, I get another go in my favourite holey stand.

£23 a pound more than what hudge charges for standing at cp, so i read

Touche. I agree.

22 quid is the "on the gate" price which compares favourably with the equivalent for the away ( behind the sticks) end at the KC (25).

Don't get me wrong, I don't get our need to charge away fans up to £25 for a match and looking at other Boards, it appears we potentially lose more revenue than we gain.

However, I don't agree that a £3 price difference compares favourably for the away fans. For that extra £3, we provide a roof, a view, a stand in the same county as the pitch, hot running water, etc

Putting the result to one side, the Widnes fans don't seem to share your view that your £22 provides good value.
