Are you saying that when Rovers have been in Super League for as long as Hull have their gates will exceed Hull's?
Or are you just dwelling in the past (again)?
Why is it whenever someone posts facts they are assumed to be a Rovers supporter living in the past? The point of my post was to show that it is possible for a club to increase its attendances as Hull have proved.

True. And I hope Rovers do increase their attendances, but even your own Chairman does not aspire to an average of more than 10,000.
More to the point, as many Rovers fans have pointed out many times in the past, Hull's attendances increased significantly after their move from the Boulevard to the KC. How are Rovers going to significantly increase their attendances?

I'm not sure they can unless they significantly improve the facilities on offer. IMHO our beloved Lib Dumb council should use some of the money 'earmarked' for the KC expansion (for its pie in the sky plans) to redevelop and modernise Craven Park giving it the same focal point status in East Hull that the KC is in West Hull.
Only my opinion mind
Motto of the week -
It is the way of the weak to secretly bleat to those in authority rather than fight their own battles.

When the KC was built it was always supposed to be a community facility. The promotion of Hull City to the Premier League and Paul Duffen's chairmanship of the SMC appear to have moved away from that i.e. no RL internationals, no concerts.
For my part if Craven Park was to be developed as a genuine community facility and not just for the benefit of Hull KR, I would have no objection to public money being invested there.
