The cost of a full move was too high, plus it would render most of the oldest stand (on the clubhouse side) unusable due to poor sightlines

They've gone for lengthening and leaving the POR end as it is for now.

Not sure about the slope, I know they've looked at it, but I think the main issue is that the two existing stands are built with the slope in mind.

The planning application does not agree with you :-

"The overall stadium capacity will be approximately the same as it is currently, 6750."

Just going on what I heard at the fans forum, hadn't seen the planning application. Further research required

Hemel Stags have started work on their new stand. They posted a pic on twitter this week.

It's always nice to see clubs redeveloping their spiritual home rather than move somewhere new, fair play Featherstone. Here's that Hemel picture, it's not really worth looking at: https://twitter.com/#!/HemelStagsRL/med ... 2Fp6cb6vCy

Work on Hull KR's new stand finally underway this last two weeks. Thanks to Anakin for the pictures.

Thanks for the pics, it's always nice to know where my tax money is being spent.

So after Cas fans were promised last week that there would be an update on the situation regarding their new stadium it would appear that the update is that there is no update....

[i'....Ferres has also urged fans to "keep the faith" with the new stadium project, which he describes as "very complex".

He added: "Whilst I’m sure fans were hoping that more progress had been made, it is totally understandable given its complexity. Many people have put a lot of hard work in to the project so far and we intend to do our upmost to deliver what is an integral part of the club’s future. Rest assured as soon as we can communicate anything further we will do so."...'[/i

Looks like the CEO has been changed but not the record.

Not sure you're right there Homer. I was actually involved in the construction of the original new stand that replaced the one that burnt down in 1984 (I think).

It is deffo not sloped and if I recall it was built with the levelling of the pitch in mind. I imagine the one built in the 90's was the same.

I honestly see no reason with a new end why it cant be levelled or at least leveller.

Be a tidy ground then.

You've got that right!

So far Ferres has just done exactly the same things as RW - announce and an announcement which turns out to be there is no announcement and try to bully fans into buying season tickets.

Very interesting indeed.

It's so refreshing to see some well shot video on a rugby league website. I love the intro as well, very professional.

yeh it was a well produced clip. Slowly but surely CP is becoming the stadium it should have been from day one!

At least CP should end up better than Salfords 'One Stand & 3 Cowsheds' approach !

Impressed by the contractor, he's obviously right on top of every aspect of the build.

Will be great to see the New Craven Park emerge at last.

Aye, you're right Vastman. Appparently the slope can be sorted at a cost of around £100,000 and is being seriously looked at. I would think that this will need to be done at the same time as any improvements/alterations to the Post Office Road end, as levelling now with the terracing still intact would make that end look a bit odd.

Incidentally, work has started on the demolition of the terracing at the Railway end

The slope will remain, but it will be less noticeable when the pitch has been extended. I've been down there today, its all looking good.

We have Steel getting erected at Craven Park.

Thanks to F90 for the picture.

Seems a lot of effort for one giant seat.

Yet more evidence to suggest Hull KR are signing Palea'aesina

Pics from last Saturday just before the game.







Latest pics from today.







Internal stairwell wall starting to go up.







As mentioned on HKRTV roofing sections are now ready to go.







Work still ongoing on the rest of the build (sorry about the poor quality of pic here).





Internal walls going up on the northern edge (Again sorry about the quality).




More Pics.

Roofing half way done by the looks of it.









Internal walls coming on a treat now.







And the steelwork to the spectator part of the build starts.







Plenty of work still for the crane to do it seems.
