Putting bias aside for a moment (if you can), do you think a PNG v Samoa game at CP would be better than one being held at any other of the smaller grounds, I doubt 1,000 would turn up at Wakey or Quins, I am sure more Rovers (and FC fans who are not as bigotted) would support such a fixture.
Did you miss the part in my other reply when I said "I dont see why not?" I wasn't having a go about CP at all, I actually think its quite a tidy stadium apart from the South stand.

Yes, that why I tried to clarify what the point was awarded for.
The south stand is terrible, no-one in their right minds would say otherwise, but so is Odsal and Wakey, did it stop lots of you lot going to the Boulevard (which was the worst stadium in RL).
Being old school, I still go for the rugby, not the beer, pies or any other peripheral parts attached to match days.

Jesus Wept. It's not about the surroundings or not having a roof or the state of the terrace blah blah blah its about being able to actually watch the game. No matter how crap every other ground is in SL we still go because surprise surprise we can actually see the game which is the whole point of going. Are you seriously using the fact we go to other crap grounds in big numbers as a reason why we didnt fill the South stand?

Forgive me if my eyesight is failing, but the majority of empty places were in the NORTH, which is seated and is as good a view as any other ground of similar size from behind the sticks. If its about the view, why not sit in the North.
make your minds up FFS, is it the view, the cost, dont want to give money to Rovers, the weather (oh, wait it was July ), the bus service, car parking, beer, pies or toilets. Or was it simply, you couldn't be arsed supporting your team through another defeat to Rovers.

Silly me I thought we were allocated the South Stand. That selective reading syndrome really is a serious problem in East Hull Just to clarify, it was reported in the local press that only 100 seats were still available in the North stand, would you risk turning up on the off chance some of the tickets were still available? Your website claimed the game was sure to be a sellout so why would Hull fans think they could get tickets for other areas of the ground? Oh yes I know because loads of your fans were watching the game in the pubs despite it being a HOME fixture.
All of this will be completely ignored by super fan I'm sure

Us real fans don't look over our shoulder at our neighbours and do whatever we can to get one over on them. We look at the bigger picture. And this is the reason why Rovers are and will forever be considered a small club. Because their fans and board would rather get one over on Hull FC above anything else.
Quite sad, really!
SPOT ON!

at least we could accomodate a game without having to ask that lover of football chairman! as the world cup takes place in the off season for rugby which happens to be football season, i reckon it would be worth a punt for a PNG game!

Some of the stadiums used in Australia where not "Super stadiums" and why would it give a terrible image? you haven't thought this one through at all, its just an attempt at a dig. Does the Super leauge stadia give an overall terrible view of our game?
