Just out of curiosity, I was wondering what plans (if any) the club have with regards to a new stadium or redeveloping new Craven Park.

There's seemingly plenty of space at CP for redevelopment and by reckoning it's not far off being a decent ground.

If it does get extended and improved, Rovers could surely attract bigger crowds than FC?

Historically We've never attracted bigger crowds than Hull so don't see the scope for it really even if it carrys on as it is.

I`d swap our stadium for yours anyday, love the stobart and also halliwell jones, for me these along with leigh are the best Rugby league grounds in the country.
As for Craven Park, I will be more than happy when the planned developments are done, it will be a decent rugby ground with the best atmosphere in super league

Still lots of expensive work to do but we are moving ahead every year and hopefully within the next 5-6 years will have a 14,000 stadium with 4 covered stands, three seating and still a main standing stand which adds massively to the atmposphere and looks great when everyone packed in.

Everyone seems to love the HJ and I can see CP being similiar when it is finished.

Ultimately one day I would love to see the East stand get a cantilever roof so the posts can be removed.

With you on that one brother missed loads of action due to them things!

For a period in the late sixties to about 1970 Rovers used to average around 9/10,000 whilst Hull got around 5/6,000.

Couldn't see it these days though to be honest mate - even if Hull finished 11th or 12th this year I bet they'd still shift at least 8000 passes which is all we seem able to average for the time being (not that it's a bad average).

Yeah thats not bad seen as how there was only 1000 of u five years ago and the rest of the fans are glory supporters ( although u havent won a major title this century)

And Hull were only getting 3000 somtimes at the Boulevard in the 90's compared to 12,000 now - nothing wrong with new supporters jumping on board.

i no wot u meen.

Sorry was there no answer to the havent won a major title this century???

How many clubs (in any sport) can you name who have won a major trophy within 3 years of promotion to a top flight?

I sincerely hope that 1953 is not the year of your birth, because, if it is, it elevates you into a much higher stratosphere of gormcloptitude than you at first appear to be occupying.

I was just reading some of his posts and thinking exactly the same.

I love the way our mother tongue is a living and growing entity.

Leeds united won the premiership 2 years after promotion.

Leeds haven't won the premiership

Sorry Mr Pedantic.



The Division 1 title.

so how does that make us glory supporters!!

Exactly, the girly birds spend their lives telling us we have won nothing, then call us glory supporters





FC know as well as the rest of us (seeing as they have not always had the crowds they have, and current crowds are dwindling) that with better quality rugby (the SL, or even not playing crap in the SL

) and better stadiums (the KC) crowds increase.

Both teams gates in hull and many others are evidence of this.
