If just one Rovers fan could give a good reason why a new Stadium should be built in East Hull then I will consider changing my view but not a single reason has emerged.

The Boulevard work will benefit the whole area, Hull are also contributing to cost.

What would a new Stadium do for the area in East Hull some building work at CP wouldn't? What is being spent at the Boulevard could be spent building community beneficial projects at CP but no, Rovers fans don't want that because all they really give a stuff about is a new stadium for Rovers, they don't care what facilities are included for the local kids or jobless because it is all about the Rugby Stadium.

And if the stuff the players are telling people is true Rovers wont be needing any extra seats in CP for a while yet as results wont be picking up

Straightaway you can take 1600 from that capacity because of the south stand. Not many people would happily buy a ticket for the south stand.
Last year we had a waiting list of people wanting to buy season passes for the East stand. Those fans bought season passes for the North stand instead. Increase the East stand capacity and those pass holders move into the East stand, Straightaway you'll get more fans into Craven Park as you don't have to open the South stand and park fans into that area they'd instead be offered more tickets for the North end of the ground which is far more appealing.
