That will surely cost a lot! They must be confident of making money from it if that is true.

When is the home terrace being finished?

Allegedly for the start of next season

Well it might end up costing KR nothing if for example say Premier Inn decided they wanted the hotel and stumped up for the hotel and stand.

Good business if you can find a party willing to build it for you.

Fair play to Hull KR, they seem to be getting stuff done. I know the cases are completely different but compared to Cas & Wakefield they're not hanging about.

They could charge a fortune with a 'sea view' as well

Although it may not be a seaview we can off them views of the Humber Bridge which was the former largest suspension bridge in the world (Now 5th), The former largest in Europe (Now 2nd) and still the largest in the UK.
It may not be much but I feel it is still something to be proud of.

Is this part if the Allan arrangement? If so, I'd approach cautiously if I were Rovers...
