First 7,500 go free, so that more than covers our season ticket holders.
We'd only get another 1k above that if we are limited to 8.5k at NCP, so as long as we get 2k or so, going halves with the SMC, that makes it worthwhile.
Ground rent, if we had to pay that, would be 170k/13 (fair?)= 13k. You'd need another ~1000 for that. edit - wrong dumbass, you have to split that with the SMC, so 2k
Loss of revenue on food/drinks? Probably tolerable with 1500 more on top of that.
12k? Very doable.
18k and you're taking home a ~£40k bonus.

Its a community stadium so if Rovers could swallow their pride it makes sense for them to use it. I wouldn't go to the Derby at your place but would probably go to it if its at the KC.

Two-thirds on the last available figures, iirc. Not sure 23k would happen though. I've thought it'd be a good option for a while, but not too many share that view.
Could all be nonsense anyway.

Maybe it's just me but I'd rather play at CP and have a limitted capacity (if its true), teams like Warrington, Saints and Wigan all bring a few away fans so are we playing those games away as well??

Wheres the link that we are not even using the golf stand any more? I would rather we still played the derby at Craven Park, why give the "away" team an advantage of playing on there home pitch.

IMO I think it would be a rational economic decision to opt to play the Good Friday derby at the KC, if it is available, whilst MS3CP is undergoing development. I would even consider playing against Wigan, Saints, Warrington and Leeds at the KC, plus any home ties in the CCup depending on the opposition.

Will the KC accept a Rovers season pass as entry -or- Our club post out tickets to pass holders (expensive?), rather than having to queue for a ticket swap.
Also, I wouldn't want my view, which in my case is a brilliant view, of the game changing. I'll not be happy in the upper tier or behind the goals. I'd expect, being the home team we are given the lower west or the east stand as a primary location.
Providing the above is catered for, I have no qualms whatsoever.
