Of course it does. Any club would rather have fans that don't kick the s[ih[/iit out of eachother and make themselves look like idiots.... Or maybe that's not how things roll over that side of the hills.

The thing is, though, some (lots?) of your fans on these boards ask for the michael to be extracted. There only has to be the insiest, winsiest mention of away support on some obscure post in an obscure thread in the remotest corner of RLFANS and whooosh! a Hull KR fan suddenly appears with umpteen questions about fan numbers, how many more fans Hull takes to the North Pole for a Friday night kick off in deepest January and how everyone else's fan base is basically rubbish by comparison (and now we have to thank you guys for it!).

I think both Hull teams bring a huge number of fans to Knowsley Road given that they live bloody miles away and usually the games are on a Friday night so not the best time to be travelling. I just wish you guys would be more modest about it! You may not have the pi$$ taken out of you quite so often if you were!



(And I disagree that we should thank you for your numbers, but we do appreciate them, not least because they help create a good atmosphere. I would hope you guys turn out because you love your team, not so we can all worship you for it!)

Well said.

Just looking for a good support 11k+ would be very good. Also a good bit of banter will be nice

Based on the unexpectedly high turnout against the Wolfs (17,009).
And our 'massive' away following (2500+) contributing to a 11,300+ crowd at the Girlyfarm last Sunday.
And the huge number of additional Junior season ticket holders.
And the 'world renowned' away support from HKR, whose coaches will be clogging up Preccy Road for hours before kick off (Will there be a return of Humberside's Finest with their camcorders?).
I reckon the crowd will be in the order of 12,500 to 13,000.
Get there early to avoid disappointment.

Moblie phones suffice, checkout YouTube for more.

Does when you are hit with fines due to the morons

Calm Down, calm down, calm down.....

I remember a few years ago travelling over to Knowsley Road for a night match and having our bus window put through by some lovely young men stood on a corner waiting for us to pass. Fortunately nobody was injured but we were all quite shaken up and had a long delay before we could get home. EVERY team has a minority of idiots who follow them, but the majority of us go for a good night to watch our team play rugby.

Probably Hull KR fans

And the majority of the idiots come from Hull.

Fortunately, we know who they are, so we found them and kicked the $hit out of them so they ont do it again.

I'm not disputing this, it's just it's more than a minority with KR.

Fair post.

There seemed a lot more than 11k!

Nowt like thinking above your station is there?

You're saying it's a majority then

I didn't see any trouble whatsoever tonight by a minority/majority so does this mean... your opinion is fuelled by 'reputations' or 'blown out of proportion' stories?

I won't deny it goes on... it just gets blown up into pathetic nonsense.

What utter RUBBISH!

Facts? Evidence?

Just stop making yourself look silly! I'm embarrassed for you.

Last night was the first game v Hull KR since they came back up to where I haven't seen trouble to be fair, however it was also the first game I have been to where the police have had metal detectors outside at least 2 pubs




Anyway fantastic attendance last night and I hope we can keep it up all season

It's usually (if any) about 5 or 6 people out of a thousand - therefore the minority.

Thought we were well behaved last night

are you saying that us fc fans are better behaved

NEVER

I don't have a problem with this, although found it astounding that my kids had to be checked

while saints fans were walking past unchecked. My husband was told this is done at all major sporting events in the area now so interesting to hear you say this was a first. Surely it would have been better to have had the checks outside the turnstiles to check everyone entering the ground not just checking away supporters getting off the buses.

Last time KR came there was a fight among the fans and the police got involved. KR have that rep, unfortunately. But I noticed last night that the police kept back, unlike last time you visited when they were everywhere, with horses and stuff. They were more discreet this time, which was good.

But also, and what was best, your fans didn't have a fight this year! They were very good boys and girls and all deserved some sweeties. Keep that up and you'll lose the rep.
