I'd rate Bradford, Quins, and Wire better than your view from the North stand.

I think the main problem with away fans not wanting to come is because there is no way to generate any atmosphere what so ever, can't make any noise etc.

balls, we manage to generate atmosphere where ever we go, just excuses IMO.

So what do people suggest we do about it? Pour all of our time and money into meeting away supporters' strangely high standards for watching 80 minutes of Rugby League? I've stood in The Well for years, we get wet when it rains, cold when it's winter and hardly ever any sunshine in the summer, but I'm there to watch a game of Rugby League, not have a picnic and a game of frizbee.

People complain about our ground purely because they can.

We had a 40 seater coach which was full and i know quite a few more that were there yesterday so there was more than 40, around 100-150.

I'm all for having a dig at Rovers but thats just silly.
the away end at odsal is just as bad as the south stand at Craven park

thought we were talking about the view ?



Yeh, we were and for me the view at Odsal is very good, you can see everything if your high up.

I follow FC to every game Home and Away including the games in France etc. However, I refuse to be ripped off and made to pay £17 to go in the South Stand at CP. I had to miss the first derby last season at CP because I couldn't get a ticket in the North Stand and will not be attending any future games if the only ticket I can get is the South Stand. This is not an "excuse" and has nothing to do with having to stand or getting wet etc its purely down to actually wanting to be able to see the game and not being ripped off.

and £24 is fair?

we are

If you think £17 is fair than £24 is a bargain!

Besides, we are discussing reasons why fans dont go to CP.

fair for u louts!


na just kidding, the view from south is shocking but plans are afoot to rectify this, however, i doubt it very much that the cost of a ticket for the kfc will reduce in seasons to come.

Giz a shout closer to the game chief

What absolute rubbish,

i have travelled far and wide over the years and been to many grounds that have had no cover but we still managed to generate an atmosphere, the old Boulevard and Featherstones ground been prime examples, both had open ends were the KR fans stood in the past but the atmosphere was always excellent. i have had many a soaking at those grounds and others besides, plus been frozen to the bone during the the old days of winter rugby, but it never detered myself or the the other thousands of rovers and, dare i say Hull fc fans, from travelling and supporting their teams
If you travel in numbers and realy get behind your team as a unit you will always generate an atmosphere, perhaps if you ask us nicely we may even give you a few lessons on how its done

.

I'll second that. Our first try I was cheering our lad on as I thought he had another 20 yards or so to go. When he plopped over I thought he'd fallen Grand National style.

Not a fan of watching it from behind the posts but I'll be back, even if you could count our following on one hand for the Challenge Cup game.

because away fans feel that facilities for them are poor and wont pay £20 for such sub standard facilities its not rocket science really guys



there is no away end at odsal,most supporters choose to stand behind the posts which is miles away from the pitch,huddersfield fans tend to congregate along the side which is not brilliant but is a massive improvement



it's far easier to create an atmosphere in a modern covered stadium than on a piece of hard plastic in the open humberside air. HTH



improve facilities to encourage more people to fork out £20 for the pleasure of visiting craven park,it might work??

TBF it could be wembley stadium in the east of hull and you lot would still come on a skateboard.

Well said

there could be the problem then

So why the pretence that it's something to do with the facilities?

it's weird. You only have to include the word 'away' in a thread title and you're guaranteed to attract Huddersfield fans, yet strangely the word 'away' seems to repel them everywhere else.

Its electricity and hot running water, scares the hell out of them with them not having it in that small backward town

Are you mental?

Did you even bother reading my post? I said we need to improve away facilities.

I WOULD LOVE TO COME UP TO HULL ON FRIDAY FOR THE CELTIC GAME BUT I AM IN WORK TILL 3-o-CLOCK AND I COULD NEVER GET TO HULL IN THAT TIME. I FIND THE PROBLEM WITH AWAY GAMES IS THAT THEY ARE EITHER ON A FRIDAY NIGHT OR ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND I HAVE TO MISS AT LEAST ONE DAY AT WORK TO GO AWAY.

HULL IS ABOUT SIX HOURS FROM BRIDGEND AND IT TAKES ME 2 HOURS TO GET TO BRIDGEND TO EVEN GET ON A COACH FOR AWAY GAMES.

FRIDAYS GAME WOULD SEE ME GETTING OFF THE COACH AT ABOUT 3 TO 4 IN THE MORNING AND THEN TRAVELLING 2 HOURS TO GET HOME.NOT FEASIBLE EVEN THOUGH I WANT TO GO TO AWAY GAMES LIKE YOURS. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY A LOT DON'T TRAVEL AWAY AS EVERY ONE OF OUR GAMES IS A GOOD 4 HOURS MINIMUM.
