I'm sure you speak on behalf of all of your 100'000 supporters who never miss a game.

The difference is at our ground, it's got atmosphere, it's not segregated and the fans can actually see the match from wherever they stand.

You've obviously not done enough if it's turning people away. And we've got plans for a new stadium. What about you?

We do not take 1000,000 fans away. Or are you again speaking bull? I think so.

As far as atmosphere is concerned we have no worries, yes our south stand is further away then many stands but you can see just fine.

We have never said we want a new ground, simply upgrade what we have, though im sure youwhite elephant will be talked about for many more years.

| Okay, i'm going to try and reply to that. Learn how to use quotes.
Quote We do not take 1000,000 fans away. Or are you again speaking bull? I think so. '"
Obviously you've not heard of the Hull KR calculator joke then?
Quote As far as atmosphere is concerned we have no worries, yes our south stand is further away then many stands but you can see just fine.'"
And that is my point. Money is tight for many people at the moment and they're having to pick and choose the games they go to. Why spend money to sit in a stand where you're far away from the game with a limited view, when you can spend the same and be close to the action? To say this, "And there in lies the truth of the supporters that are good travellers and those that are not." is very harsh.
Quote We have never said we want a new ground, simply upgrade what we have, though im sure youwhite elephant will be talked about for many more years.'"
Well what have you upgraded for the away fans if people are complaining about the away end?

I'm sure the Leeds fans at the open run down end of your ground loved gettingvsoaked on Friday.

But because our ground isn't segregated they had the option to move undercover. Which the large percentage of them did.

| TBH the price would probably have kept me away anyway (I've not got a spare £40 this close to pay day, never mind more for petrol, food, drinks etc). But the overriding problem for me is Friday f**king night...
I'm working on the assumption that clubs who schedule games for Friday nights simply don't want away supporters to attend.

| not our fault, it was scheduled on a friday due to hull city v man utd being on sunday contractually for sky. Our local police authority will not allow 2 large events in the city on the same day probably due to them having to pay out overtime!

The game was originally scheduled for Sunday.

I don't really give a stuff who's fault it is mate, I'm just introducing a new variable to the debate (other than price and golf stands). Just for info though, what's up with Saturday?
ATEOTD, a club's perfectly entitled to stage a game whenever it sees fit (in consultation with relevant authorities, of course). But away fans are also perfectly entitled to say "balls to that" when considering the prospect of finishing work, having to run around like a blue-ar*ed fly, wolf the tea down, get changed, get in the car, get on the motorway and still not be guaranteed to make it for kick off.
It's a no brainer for me - I live so far away I couldn't make it if even I had a Eurofighter jet - but pretty much anywhere to East Hull is a big enough bind when you've only just finished work. Friday nights are for chilling out and shaking off the working week, not for tear-ar*ing around all over the place.

| Oops! sorry about that!
As I stated in my earlier post we do attend EVERY match as true supporters; the only one that we boycott in the whole season is
hull kr away, and will continue to do so until until there is proof that standards and treatment of away fans are vastly improved. I agree many super league grounds could make the away fans experience better, but my experience at Craven park was abysmal and totally unacceptable. I would'nt go even if tickets were free!!!
Nothing against kr supporters or players; really enjoy our home games with them.

| Quote ="casok"My family and I will DEFINATELY NOT be attending the match! This is the only away game that we boycott and attend all the rest religiously. It is not just the £20 entry as I was unaware of this, but I refuse to be treated like a 3rd class citizen simply because I am an away fan! I will not elaborate on this because we all know about their pathetic hospitality.My only wonder is that they get any away fans, particularly when away fans are allowed a free run at the jungle and can stand or sit anywhere!(except maybe in the diggerland jcb bucket!!!) It amazes me that they are allowed to take over the Princess street stand when they play us and call for all the forward passes etc, prime position just as they are at home. Will we ever learn!
My apologies to our boys, hope they manage a win without us!!!

And for away fans your is what exactly?. Just 1 stinking bog which you have to queue to use. If its raining you run the risk of breaking a limb on the slippery stairs. Oh and the catering is pure quality, must be the best in sl With the exception of FC, Wigin, Quins and Wires they are all holes for away fans. Its just that some fans sit in their stands and forget that when we go to their ground we stand in the rain.

Considering the Jungle is twice the ground Caravan park is, I'd say he has a valid point.
You can roam into just about any stand you want and be under cover in 3 of 4 stands, you don't get treat like second class citizens by the stewards just for being an away fan like at Caravan, and it has 4 stands that are close to the pitch so you can actually see the game.
How the dump of a ground KR play at gets ignored when people go on about the old grounds is beyond me, It's honestly worse then Belle Vue.

To be perfectly honest i would rather people like you stay away for ever, if you were a proper fan you would go to the ends of the earth to support your team, God knows how many rubbish grounds with little or no faccilities i have been to over the last 40 years or so and mostly during winter time but i went because the team came first and foremost, not the faccilities at the grounds.
I can understand people who are having a hard time due to the present economic climate which indirectly prevents them getting to games,but your excuse is nothing short of weak and pathetic and as i have already said, from a personal point of view i couldnt care less if you never come ever again, its your team you are letting down not ours.
