Makes you wonder if he was actually there if he believes what he put.

Get a proper stadium and they will come.

Your blue stand is alright I guess.

In any kind of weather.

So how come we have managed to exceed the stated capacity at least twice when playing them in SL?

How can you exceed the stated capacity of the ground. Surely that would be against all Health and Safety laws. Admittedly saying Hull haven't filled the away end may have been over zealous. Some decent attendances for our small ground. Looking forward to the North stand opening.

2012 = 9086
2011 = 10250
2010 = 10089
2009 = 9450
2008 = 10197 & 9284
2007 = 9031

Do you know the current capacity, and do you know what it was including the Golf Stand?

Have the derby games at craven park been pretty much at full attendance ?

Rally round the robbins

10721 wasn't it.

East Stand 4750
North 1271
South 1600
Well 600
West 2500

The official capacity with the golf stand was 10,250 according to a question at a quiz night held at Craven Park

2008 per the BBC: Rovers' Good Friday game against Hull FC at Craven Park is a sell-out
2009 per the HDM: The Robins head into Saturday evening's clash at a sell-out Craven Park as clear favourites.
2011, per the BBC: "it was an exhilarating game in front of a sell-out crowd"

10,197 according to this:

Take away the 1271 from the Golf that leaves a current capacity of 8926.

That means we exceeded capacity in each of the last 2 seasons.

It seems that more rallied round this weekend then for your top 4 club.

2009 was never a sell out we only had 9400 in the ground.

Pretty much, I can only recall one when the south was a bit sp which given that it's the worlds worst spot to watch anything is a pretty decent fillip to Hull's support given that every single person that paid to turn up and watch knew they were more or less wasting their money.

Utterly idiotic argument this.

Hands up how many Rovers fans want to watch a game from the south end?

I certainly don't.

That whole page was written by me and submitted by me years ago. As it was me who wrote it it's bound to be wrong

I think we can discount the HDM version. 2009 was the most dissapointing turnout (the alleged 600 game) and poorest crowd overall (% of capacity)

They have always had the option of the north stand

Rovers were bigging it up as a sellout in the run-up. Amazingly the HDM printed what they were told.

You can't believe anything you read on t'internet these days.

You really are a prized tool! I'm guessing this is the year when the South was half empty so apart from the away section all other parts of the ground where sold out!

I was there and there were not many Hull FC fans that day.
What is your take on it Mrs Boreista?

My take on it is that Hull KR said it would be a sellout, so the HDM printed that it was a sellout, and that actually it wasn't a sellout.
