With the abandonment of plans to relocate the Golf stand at the south end of the ground ,a likely limit to capacity of 8500 or less , and not much room for away supporters this year , it is firmly on the cards that Rovers will switch their "home" derby to the KC...with Sundays friendly and the Manchester derby thats four derbies with none at home.. Whilst sensible from a financial point of view lets hope its as temporary a situation as possible.... |

How will that work then? Are HKR season pass holders given entry automatically without having to 'swap' or pickup a ticket? Will we be given opposite stands? |

I would be happy to see this years Derby switch to the KC. If both teams start the season well then a sell out Good Friday match at the KC would be pretty profitable for Rovers. There is always the chance that petty Hull fans would boycott the game but i would let them keep their normal Stands and just take the North and half the West stand for Rovers fans. |

Suggesting the majority of our fans attend an "home" game and sit behind a goal or high in the clouds? I'd rather have a side, personally. |

How much to hire the KC? Not moving the Golf Stand is a pretty significant development - when was that decided? Is it just knackered or is something planned for the South? I know there were plans, but iirc the funding wasn't secured. If we can get mate's rates I don't see why we couldn't do it every year. A fullish house there makes the 10k average much easier to achieve. |

I'm hugely relieved. With the arrival of a new coaching regime, getting away from using only Riolo and Howes as agents, hated players (including the one who was banging his wife) leaving to be replaced by new ones, I was terribly worried that my old mucker Lazzington wouldn't have anything negative to comment on until at least round six. I feel ashamed of myself for doubting him. |

For a one off day hire its £15k Might be a little more to police a 23k crowd |
