Thinking about ground developments this afternoon and it got me thinking about unused space at Rovers. What ideas do people have to increase the revenues at Craven Park without costing the club huge sums of money?

First one I had was the west stand. They fitted the media box quite easily for the sky crew. Couldn't we carry on across the stand and make 7 hospitality boxes.

that would cost a lot of money what they have now if youve been up ther is very basic and a bit of a dump to be honest how would you gain access i think it would be a non starter

I think the TV booth looks the most scary shaky construction ever. Pallets attached to wire.
No idea, but can imagine space/plumbing/practicality being major hurdles but Easty is right.
We need more of these crappy booths!


Utilise the old floodlights
The East Stand

The Red Towers

We need more booths!

Get Rebecca round to do a few guest appearances, spread her popularity to the non online Rovers fans.

Get Papa Lazerous' pandamonium Carnival back, best entertainment ever.

The obvious one for increasing (decent) capacity would be a modestly-sized simple covered terraced stand at the south end, IMO. And the other end of the east to be extended.

Boxes we've got covered with the new North stand - or thought we did until they decided to put in 8 inch portholes instead of picture windows, or whatever the issue is.

The West is what it is - improvising something for the high-end market I can't see being feasible. Good photoshopping all round though.

I think the North stand windows are OK.
Its the size of the windows in the West stand section.
I looked on Sunday. They have a blanked out central panel that should be glass
to give more viewing area.

You've just cost us several million pounds and a chance for us to reclaim our place at the top table.

Why can't they get another golf stand in at the south end? Then their can be no complaints of a bad view from anywhere in the ground and people would be more inclined to use that end through it have 100x better facilities.

Approptiate that the "Text accident" sign is right below.

on the wakefield site she also lives only 3 miles from them aswell so shes either telling lies or Hulls closer to wakefield than i thought

I know a way of cutting costs of ground developments, we could move the pitch right up to the new North stand, which would mean the new East extension might not be needed as the end would then be near the south try line.

Moving the pitch will cost money
Keep the pitch where it is and don't build any extension - will cost nothing

Won't cost much, just about 20m of extra grass, if that. The ground is lop sided as it is.

Cost something tho. Leaving it will cost nout!

The ground is lop sided no matter where the pitch is until the south end is addressed. Moving the pitch a few metres closer to the north will hardly fix it. Just make the south terrace that little bit frepper and the RM totally out of symmetry.

What they should have done is extend the pitch towards the south end and extended the east stand on the south end of the ground. When it came to the building of the North stand it could have being built with the glorified office block running adjacent to the east stand. You then have a four sided ground with all stands offering cracking views of the pitch.

Now that wouldn't have cost any extra as the pitch could have been moved when it was replaced

It can't be done, the stand's not straight.



It would be great if you got to rebuild the South Stand. A covered standing stand, square to the pitch, along with the North Stand would make a great atmosphere, especially on Derby Day.

We should take note of some of the smaller football sides in the country and look at there small terracing behind the goals. You can get smart terracing which holds 1000+ for not much. Just keep it simple for the south side

Are there actually plans to do summat with that end of the ground?

Realistically, i think we can put any other ground developments on hold after completion of the North Stand. Even taking away the current South Terrace our capacity will be 10000 which is more than ample currently. We will have 3 restaurants, numerous bars and executive boxes. More than enough revenue streams when you throw in the lottery, merchandising etc to make the Club sustainable if we get some consistency on the pitch and get somewhere close to that 10000 crowd figure.

Neil Hudgell hinted that there was. But it was early stages and no details were given.

I suggest getting Moobs back as the first resident of the Hull KR Donkey Sanctuary.

Small standing only stand with a retractable roof for derbies when its chucking it down would do

Lol liking that idea
