With the mixed reaction to the new membership scheme, I was wondering what alternative or additional sources of revenue people think the club should consider pursuing.

First proposal for debate:

Should Rovers 'hire' the KC for the home derby game in 2010? Would add 8-10k to the gate. Maybe write the money from 3-4k of the extra tickets off to cover costs (I've just completely made that figure up, admittedly). Estimated additional income ~£100K.

NB. Please feel free to make other suggestions, in addition to slagging this one off.

WHAT?

No, no and thrice no.

In fact, get out and change your name to "Turncoat Rover".

Income aside it would really devalue the game and could lead towards all sorts of external merger proposals again.

I'd rather be forced to eat 10 of the shoe leather burgers at each and every home game for the rest of my life whilst being made to to listen to cheeky charlies views on the game.

Even if you were sponsored, it still wouldn't raise £100k.

Cost of hiring KC = £XXXXX
Seeing the look on the faces of 3800 fc fans in the North Stand looking at a sea of red and white in their East stand = Priceless

I'm game for a laugh

Can you not get extra money by hiring craven park out for concerts/ gigs etc?

you taking your binoculars along?

You may find that you would need Hull FC s agreement to use the KC ............


So that's another idea hitting the buffers

It's a bonkers idea. Why not try getting some shirts in the shops before Christmas that don't run in the wash?

Why? It's a community stadium. Would a pop concert, for example, need the tenants approval too?

Rovers played 7 successive 'home' derbies at Boothferry Park in the 1950s, which were very successful and only ceased because of a change to football league rules, so moving the fixture isn't without precedent.
