Fools like this cannot see the wood for the trees, as mentioned above The Giants are competing with about 10-15 teams around them, Hull KR are just competing with Hull unless you include Catalans in this


the attendance today was very very good and if we ever win owt they will all come creeping back from when they went glory hunting to the likes of the Dulls. We can then join in with the my crowd is bigger than your crowd argument but tbh I don't give a toss would rather have a better team on field than crowd!!!!!!!!

Surely you mean 146,234?

And when I was at school in the Eighties we were told it was around 250,000.

That is definitely Kirklees.

I feel as a recent supporter (last 5 years) that the crowds have gone up steadily and this is reflecting on the pitch. WHilst we like many clubs rely on the sky cash it is important to realise the income generated by the games themselves.

To say there were only around 30 ish Harlequin fans they at times clearly made the most noise.

I felt even before the game started there was a lack of atmosphere on our part. IMO there was more cheering when the juniors were on prior to kick off.

I was probably as guilty as anyone else on sunday in terms of noise making but that was the general mood of the crowd.

5000+ against a team second to bottom is a reasonable turn out. I was missing 3 with me as the kids have gone to the seaside for 2 weeks and the same will be for many so all in all a good turn out.

It was a flat game, we were clearly outclassing them without breaking a sweat and it had a lot of errors (mainly by Mr Childs), it was never going to be a pulsating classic.

Next week v Wakey we will have a slightly higher crowd (but not significantly I suspect) with a better atmosphere because we are playing local rivals.

They're all into Ice Hockey and Bear baiting though.

I made this point about atmosphere yesterday at the game:

We dont have a brilliant atmosphere at home anyway and it only tends to pick up if there is a significant number of away fans who are also helping to create an atmosphere - when there is very little away support our fans tend to just sit and applaud rather than shouting and singing, its always been the case and you can feel/hear the difference in atmosphere when the clubs with small away support come - eg Quins, Catalans, Crusaders and Bradford !

I wouldn't hold your breath or put money on it; given this season's form and history. Possibly more home supporters but don't order too many burgers for the guests.

Top tip: If you want some evidence of your club's green credentials do a survey of how away fans travel to your ground... I think this week you'll find most of them will be walking!!

and then you go and ruin it by moving to Newmarket!
