Coming over to CP following Leeds....but not impressed with the distance from the pitch and the view from the away end. Can I pay on the turnstiles for the terrace areas either side of the pitch.......but more importantly is there a descent bar....cheers lads

Really?

The away allocation is sold out. The additional tickets are reportedly for the well which is pitch side standing. A bar is a bar, serves beer and sometimes pork scratchings.

LMU colleagues of mine have bought tickets for the West stand (seating) but as Edith says the Well (below the West Stand) has tickets available (standing).

There's a few pubs near by - Ravenser and Red L (Crown) - but there's nowt wrong with the Robins Nest underneath the West Stand or the Bars upstairs.

Also pubs a hell of a lot closer to the ground than Ravensar. Lord Charles, Falcon and Soccer Sensations which is about 100 yards from the ground.

And not forgetting the two new bars under the new North Stand.

Erm the R & O are designated away ends, How much closer do you need to be?

Why doesn't he just ask the ref if he can stand on the pitch???

Can't see Sinfield saying yes to that.

No7 David bishop did you get your username from what I heard that whilst Roger millward was reading the team sheet out he said "No13 David bishop" then bish raised from the treatment table after a final rub down and piped up " hey little man David bishop No7 or no David bishop" to which Roger replied "David bishop No7" lol

David Bishop is still my favourite player I've seen play in a Rovers shirt.

Probably the start of the team's decline happened after his signing.

Rubbish the best number 7 was Gordon smith followed by Paul harking

David was a disaster cost the the club 1/4 of a million reportedly and never lived up to the billing.

Harkin kept smith out of the team didn't he and I would say Bishop was better than both of them although I doubt many will agree

Maybe so,but i meant favorite,not best.And i only saw Smith and Harkin a few times cos i was too young.Only started going regular when they moved to Preston Rd.He was just an unpredictable character.(on and off the pitch!)
It would be interesting to have seen how players of that era would fair today,the likes of Greg Austin and Antony Sullivan.

Bishop was never fit enough but had bags of skill, one of my favourite players too.

I remember going to the old Runcorn ground,Canal Street,in the early 90's and Bishop wasn't playing for some reason.Me and a mate was queing for the food van when we noticed about 3 people ahead in the queue was David Bishop who bought himself a burger!
So much for your Herbalife..

I would hazard a guess, this wasn't an isolated instance of burger consumption!

Lol,probably not! I miss those weird old grounds.I remember going to Fulham where the seats in the "best" stand were wooden planks bolted to the terrace steps! Think it was an old athletics stadium in Chiswick.

Yep and in the so called bar you sat on beer crates but they were happy days

Anyway............with regard to the top on hand. www.hullkr.co.uk/club/news/artic ... ne-reached 9,400 so far sold with walk ups I can see 10K+ for the first time.

I'm fairly sure that sold figure doesn't include the South Stand promotion, so if a good chunk of them turn up we could be push 11k.

Well, apart from the other time's we have exceeded 10k (2008 was 10,197 v Hull, 2010 was 10,089 v Hull & 2011 was 10,250 v Hull).

I would have thought it was clear I was referring to a HKR Vs Leeds clash seeing as that was the point they made in the piece.
