Fantastic news!!!! Well done Hudge, HCC and everyone involved on this project. Superleague is here to stay for a long long time.

Its fantastic news and congratulations to all concerned. I am really pleased that Hull KR will now be staying in East Hull as in the next few years it could become the most desirable area to live in. The regeneration of the area and the prospect of Siemens locating to the Docks area will attract other businesses, employment and finances to the area.
HULL KINGSTON ROVERS **** THE PRIDE OF EAST HULL **** The future is bright, the future is Red and White.

Thought there would have been something official on the website by now

Don't think that will happen till everything is 100% sorted with contractors and the like. The stage we are at it seems is actually having the funding approved. Now we need to chase down the signatures for that and everything else .

Great news! Investment like this in our sport is something to be very happy about and I applaud all those involved.

I always put whats good for the sport as a whole infront of whats good for my club. RL needs stronger clubs to help the sport grow, and this is certainly a step forward (as are the new stadiums at Saints & Salford).

What will the capacity at Craven Park be once built?

Think we were looking at somewhere around 14K.

What's the current capacity of our stands?

West Stand = 2000
South Stand = 1600
East Stand = 4,750
Well = 600

After the developments we shoud have

North Stand = 2600
West Stand = 2000
South Stand = 1600
East Stand = 6000
Well = 600

Total = 12800

That would be about right for Rovers and we wouldn't hope for more unless playing Hull.

Brilliant for rovers and everyone concerned with the ground some people will have a short term job has well well done

Yeah I suppose so easty let the work commence Prescott did say he was taking it further didn't he.

When everything is done and IF we were to get a South Stand to the same numbers as they for hope the North stand then we would be looking at around 14K capacity.
If we wanted to move on more to look at internationals as an example then the West Stand would be the one holding us up.

I know this is all pie in the sky but if everything else gets done then the Roger stand COULD be the problem long term.
I always wondered if they could just remove the superstucture containing the seats and redesign it to include more seats as well as making it was possible to reinforce and create a way to support a seating section that actually went full length in its place.


I so want to see this North stand work started.

That post from Standee is priceless, what a moron

Great news for all involved, can see more away fans travelling over when this is completed!

IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME - SIMPLEZ



I WILL WRITE A LETTER TO MY FRIEND KEVIN COSTNER. NOW HE HAS SOME SPARE TIME AS NO OIL TO CLEAN UP, HE MAY HELP THE BUILD



ALLAMS SQUASH COURT PYRAMID AT THE SOUTH STAND IS NEXT

I love the comment on the Hull about about having, and I quote, "more empty seats to look at".



Priceless.

Looking at the floor plans I guess the biggest thing from Rovers perspective i think isn't just the extra seats. It's what goes across the top of the stand in 15 corporate boxes. https://planningpublicaccess.hullcc.gov ... X6QSO3B000

I like how the floodlight is armoured to stop the FC tatters stealing the cables.

Sorry, but it has been a long wait! And fair play to the gracious, good-of-the-game Hull fans.
The blame is mine, the credit is dum-dum's.

What're you crediting me for? I told you - I wanted it kept a secret that I (my mouth) was solely responsible for the funding being approved.

Unless they are external seats for the corporates like the KC has.

Otherwise will be a bit squashed all looking out the windows

Which corporate giants will want to view the game from behind the sticks anyway?

The one's who don't want to see it from a side.

Work's well at Wakey, sorry - Cats, theirs is now 8 storey due to demand.

even he or she thinks hull are rubbish and its time his or her father joined rovers
