Why oh why do we always play the hull friendly at the kc. Isn't it bad enough that fc feel they can bitch slap us around without this

It might be because they can get more people in the ground then us so that is more money for both clubs

Both clubs earn a timely boost to cashflow from the game, thats why it is played at the KC - the bigger the venue the greater the cashcow!

Why is it? The 9500 crowds seen for the last 2-3 seasons have their cash split 3 ways, FC, KR, SMC. The same size crowd would comfortably fit (even keeping the South Stand closed) in Craven Park. Split the cash 2 ways, everyone's a winner.
Apart from the Allams obviously.

I agree with what you are saying however it is the 'potential' attendance that the fixture could attract that sees it's continuance at the KC.

Really good point this if we designated fc the whole of the north stand (even though my pass in north stand) and we had east and west stands the SMC wouldn't take a cut of the money, and with a fair bit of optimism from fc fans regarding there recruitment they will sell north stand out surely

Wouldn't be a problem for the self proclaimed best travelling supporter base in world rugby.

If it's a friendly, it's irrelevant which part of the ground your pass is for.
