Both clubs are in partnership with the NHS, its just that they are providing more funding to West Hull, to build a bigger facility to handle the demand.

So that's a £200,000 reduction (before depreciation charges) according to the HDM in your annual losses of £450,000. Still quite a bit to find.

Good work by rovers getting the stand extended at no cost. Presumably people from the well and the North stand will stay there and only new fans will go in the East?

£1.5m according to the HDM. Can't see it being a problem

So we can expect a full stand in April then eh?

As a Wigan supporter who travels to all away games unless I'm on holiday, I find the pricing for the away fans at both Hull clubs extortionate particularly at HKR, to sit out in the open. Here are the Wigan prices, held at 2009 rates. www.wiganwarriors.com/MidContent.asp?cid=15 Also for Wigan season ticket holders get to watch the U18 academy and U20 home games for free. I've just posted something similar on the Wakefield site as they have increased their prices from £18 to £20 for the 2010 season. How can they justify an 11.1% increase in times of recession?

Completely different context.

What about Leeds' away stand then? At least we have seats. £20 to stand behind the sticks at headingly is outgrageous

You have an unsustainable business model and can't get to one without the RFL's handout. Sounds pretty similar to me.

That is total bollox. It's common sense to get funding from other available sources other than directors pockets.

At the end of the day you are "Hull SL Ltd" - a manufactured SL franchaise under the guise of a now defunct RL club, created with the aid of a free handout of £1M.

Au contraire. Your chairman has been very clear that you can't continue to sustain losses of £450k a year and that gates of 10,000 are required. Rovers are in debt to the tune of £3m+ and therefore can't afford to fund getting to 10,000 gates themselves. They have therefore got a handout from the RFL (and the NHS) to get there. Not that this addresses the full £450,000 annual shortfall, obviously, but it's a start. Hope you lot recognise the RFL's generosity next time you're bleating about unfair disciplinary outcomes.

What do disciplinary outcomes have to do with this?

Rovers fans regularly complain that they are hard done to by the RFL. This latest news shows that if anything they're being favoured.

No, why?

I still dont understand though how the rovers fans can make the assumption that gates will jump up significantly once this extension is built when you cant sell out the existing ground.

Nope, we have an opinion on a rovers matter on a rovers forum. Nothing to do with FC though, hardly obsessed. Guess we're just both highly opinionated.

cab man said "Build it and they will come". Seems a well thought-through business case to me.

I miss cab man, thing Rovers need one of his inspirational talks right now.

In a nutshell.
Rovers announce a further ground improvement and Hull FC fans just pour negitivity all over it.
Pathetic.

This is simply not true so stop talking bollox. Directors can be selective about which aspect of the club in which they choose to invest.

There's ample explantation on my previous posts as well as the Chairman's Q&A not to mention the HDM article that states we sold out the East Stand 100% of the time and many people don't want to go elsewhere in the ground.

If you don't understand then no further amount of explaining will make you understand I'm afraid.

head getting further into the sand there

WTF are you talking about.

You're obviously not a very bright lad. So do one because you're contributing zero to this thread and it's tiresome and boring trying to explain things to thick people like you who simply aren't bright enough to engage in this debate.
