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.

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.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

I'd imagine the same price we pay, hopefully you'll be able to get the same rate when/if AP renegotiates the deal.
