lets be honest about it. there is only hull and rovers that travel in any numbers, yer leeds, bradford and wigan say they take big numbers away, but only when it's at the bottom of their garden. eg less than 10 miles away. when it comes to traveling more than 50 miles all other teams are a joke.

here,here!!!! could not agree more.if there is one thing that both hull clubs can look on with pride is their travelling support.there should be a good following tonight from fc fans in wales,and the same when rovers travel there.how many will travel from leeds,bradford etc?

I'll say the same as I did on our board before the season kicked off.

We travel well because we're used to it. We always have to travel at least an hour whereas every other team are only a short distance away from each other.

Friday night games are always going to be harder to get to and those who are a little unsure as to whether to travel in the first place will probably say sod it as soon as they see it's on Sky.

I agree you travel well but Leeds sold out thier Golf Stand allocation yesterday and aparently sent 300 tickets back for the other stand whick IMO can you blame us?

The fact that Leeds fans were advised to purchace tickets before travelling by your club might have put some off too.

I cant understand how we were only given 600 for the golf stand either when there were clearly more that could have been sold and peple were turned away from the Headingley ticket office not wanting to stand in the opposite end.

There were a couple of hundred Leeds fans at the other end (I think

) but even with the extra 300 the attendance would have been down on last year. BTW that means there were only 7,800ish KR fans there. Where were the others?

great away support embarrassing home support 8623 for 1st home game against champons. Can't Argue with facts pal

Great away support??? 600???



Embarrassing home support??? 8000??? tell that to Harlequins, Catalans ,Cas ,Wakefield, hudds

For a team that gets 17k at home Leeds away following is pathetic isnt it!!

no kr have good away support well done but do you all forget about your home games

Not really i try and stay as far away from hull as I can

That stereotypical view is absolute garbage!

Everyone seems to be ignooring the fact that we sold out our GS allocation and could have sold more. Would you go stand in the other end? I heard on KCFM a woman (KR fan) say that she didnt attend because there were no East Stand tickets left... im sure others did the same. To have a go at us for a crap away support when we normally bring more and sold out the tickets we got is rediculous.

why is it that all threads just go way off track??? the title of the thread is

Huge gaps in the golf stand plus the east stand side of it had 50-100 rovers fans in it aswsell

Great away support my arris!!

I'm not trying to sitr the s**t but Rovers brought more fans to our place in 2006 (Halton Stadium) than Hull did in the four years we were in SL (02-05). In those four SL years Saints brought consistently the most fans. In terms of the most disappointing away turnout it has to be Bradford, they brought a 1000 at most and this was at a time when their home attendances never dipped below 12k.

I didn't go because Hull's a hole and it's full of Chavs. Not that I need an excuse anyway.

Again, choosing to ignore the posts I put on and write your own tosh. Try reading the link I posted too.

What is the point of this thread? If you went last night & enjoyed it (wich I did) does it matter if the Rhinos or any other fans dont come?our business is based on us at our ground & untill the ground is big enough to allow folk to walk up & pay on the gate we will allways be down on numbers, about three people who used to come to a few games with me now wont come as they dont hold season passes & cant get in the east stand. That is about 15 attendances each year from my friends now multiply that by the numbers in the east stand it starts to add up. Secondly you cant blame home or away fans who have been before not wanting t go in the south end( I would not go in there if it was free) plus it was on TV. Our away support whilst comendable is of no relevence except to us & the lift it can give the team any business that relys on us turning up are in trouble anyway.

Why bother posting?

Why even bother posting?

you didnt sell them all though, as you said you sent 300 back.
yes its a poor stand but so what, a die hard fan would still be in there giving it some.

There was a question as to why the away support at Hull grounds is, "supposedly", poor and I was giving a legitimate response.

So there were 2 golf stands there on Friday night then??? Or was you at a different game

Perhaps the `massive` turnout of Leeds fans hid under the same umbrella

The FACT is it was an embarrassing turnout for the `double champions`

Neither of the Hull sides bring the biggest suuport south to Quins- Wigan, Leeds, Saints all bring more.

They can afford to as they go nowhere else!
