Well that is the downside to Expansionism , though Widnes may be able to add a few more negatives.

Cheeky git



I have attended HKR away games about 3-4 times, missed the league game in 2006 due to being in Italy but attended the play off game. Have to say I was always warned about coming up to either Hull club ie behavoir of fans, however I only witnessed any bother at FC at the old Boulevard. Not once at CP. As for the view, not great, sorry has to be said, but that ing huge seated stand at the side opposite the main terracing was top draw. Cant remember anything about the price, but great view up there.

I admire anyone who can get to every away game, I myself go to every away game. I love it, I love seeing all our fans pack out the stand and cheer on the mighty Rovers away from home.

Leeds didn't bring many this year, it disgusted me, as last year they filled the north and south stand.

I think with so many people having to tighten their belts away games will be the thing to disappear or be cut down on a lot for a lot of people.

I have been lucky to get to all Saints games this season so far and I think its safe to say the travelling support from Saints and the clubs we have played at home has so far generally been lower than it has been in previous seasons.

I think Hull clubs may feel it more because of the distance for fans to travel (especially from the Lancashire clubs) without it having the same appeal as a weekend in London or Wales, if any game has to be dropped for most I would imagine it would often be a trip to hull.

Those who do travel like you said deserve to be admired but I don't think you can slag off those who don't without knowing the reasons behind them staying at home - I am sure a lot would love to be able to get there.

SL clubs should work together to get coach deals, discount away tickets for season pass holders and ensure that every ground has a decent stand for away fans. Then we might see more people coming. Also towns/cities tourism board should get involved and promote the trip as a full day out for the whole family, offering discount vouchers to local attractions for fans who are in town.

I wonder if any SL club has ever approached their council/tourist dept to work together?
