Our Chairman rightly said that at present, we have a situation where if people can't get into the East Stand, then they simply don't bother coming to games because they don't want to witness the game from the North or South stands which is understandable.

IIRC this extention will increase the capacity by 1,200 which will sell and therefore we can realistically look forward to a 9,500+ plus average.

Like our great Chairman said, it's all about facilities and despite Craven Park's flaws, the East Stand is the most vocal and passionate stand in the city bar none.

Excellent work Rovers... :CLAP:

The away fan numbers that show up at the KC show that its the length of the motorway that keeps away numbers down, not the facilities. An extended East Stand will be more or less filled 13 times in SL. A better away end would get filled once (when we play Leeds! ).

This cant be true. I thought that we were skint, heading towards a CVA and negotiating to share Tower Grange with Dockers next season. Has Big Dave T mis-informed me?

As has been pointed out the KC has top level facilities for away support but even that fails to bring in big numbers from over the Pennines. Mind you, I'd far rather see the supporters mixed like you still see at the Jungle.
