I'd suggest 15k is a decent guesstimate, 7k more than CP would hold. Say thats worth an additional £150k. Take Hulls 10% on ticket sales, cost of stadium rental, KC security (or is that part of the rental cost?), loss of bar / parking revenue etc. The margins might not be that great. Worth the loss of home advantage & the ill feeling it's bound to cause amongst some fans?

Another rational person as well as whom?

The those three people are a bit silly, perhaps you should come and stand with us.

If Milan and Inter can manage it, I'm sure we can.

Well, all the other Rovers fans who're advocating financial sense by suggesting we take the East and South stands.

Oh, OK. You and East-Sard. (Told you he was OK.)

I'm not really bothered were I stand it wud be a bit weird sitting in the east stand I'm not totally impressed having to play our home game there but it's hopefully only for this season, plus It wudnt be the same not having a slanging match with Chav corner so I'm happy staying were we are.

Well, theres a slight problem if Rovers tell me I have to take time off work to travel through to exchange season ticket for kc ticket. I live 30 miles away. So that would definetly cost me money.

I quite agree.

I heard you were accepting new members to the Goose Gang, are you sure there's room for one more?

You have won 2 out of 6 SL derby. Hardly what you should call excellent.

How extremely I'll-informed you are

3 from 7 including play offs (which must be included!)

Interesting.

I make it;
Magic = FC 0 - 3 KR
NCP = FC 2 - 4 KR
KC = FC 4 - 3 KR

4-4 if we count the recent "friendly".

They only count if hull win, didn't you know?

Of course, I'd have mentioned the rest since 2007 but don't want to appear to be living in the past.

If you are intent on including the recent friendly then (for consistency) its 5-4 as you have to count the RH testimonial in 2010 - may as well, most did all that year until September when for some reason it went quiet.

So in essence, taking stats into account;
•we're very highly likely to win if the game is at a neutral venue, 1/3.
•we're likely to win at home, 2/4 or 1/2.
•we stand a good chance to win at the KC, 4/5.

do those stats take into account quality(or lack of) any new players or loss of important old players,no,those stats will have no bearing what so ever

Aww, won't they? That's spoilt my night that.

At the start of each season FC and have told us how much greater their squad was as opposed to ours, this season is no exception.

We've not claimed to have the competition's most destructive and versatile pack though. Nor a CEO saying we will finish 4th. I think you're being a bit selective.

That's just a fact tho'
Only a poor coach has stopped them from ripping up RL.

I also wish to put on record we must not give in and permit FC the use of South/East stands. Hold strong Hudge and repel them!
Just putting them black and swhites in that filthy Smith & Nephew North Stand would give me the biggest sockfest ever.
Rational, pah



I am cleansed

i think i get your gist,if were all being honest i think this season that assumption will bear fruit(cards on the table from me)no mrs.b reverse psychology required

Didn't you see our pack in action on Sat? For ten whole minutes we battered Bradford.
You know Mike Smith doesn't hold back, if he said that - it must be true. However, didn't he say we have to/need to finish 4th.
My memories hazy, help me out.

I thought he said "we did, in 2009".

Obviously that is all TIC eh?

As Mild Rover is my witness, Mike Smith was asked where Rovers will finish this season and he said 4th. Was on the radio and everything. I like your pack. I've heard nothing else this season than Joel Clinton is like a new player. Having watched on Saturday I'm not sure which new player he is most like, though.
