I love the Hull KR mentality, they've brought a fart to a s**t fight having an arguement about crowds with Leeds fans havn't they? The last time KR were competing for the league it was with Leigh for gods sake.

Great crowd tonight, very impressed.

How was the pitch looking after all those fat men have churned it up over the winter?

Now now that's not fair. We don't have Greg Eastwood anymore and Lee Smith has trimmed down after his return from the dark side.

Oh you meant our lodgers. Yeah those fat b[ia[/istards have ruined it again.

Is it a sand pit like normal?

A Hull KR fan exaggerating supporter numbers? That's an outrageous insinuation.

Banter aside guys how many did it look from the Leeds sides? Always hard to tell when you're stood amongst it, but I estimated 1500-2000, is that about fair?

Reckon so, probably nearer the 2k than 1500

Bloody hell, Leigh - now there's a name from the past.

From where I was stood (not being in my usual spot on the Western Terrace) it looked pretty full.

Ah right, cheers mate. Was just glad it was on in the end - got into Leeds and was reading rumours about it being called off.

I wish, try living here.

L.I.T.P

Superb following from KR in that weather to be fair. I'd day it was 2k+. Our away following has dwindled as we have become more successful, which is a bit strange.

I think relative success is an incredibly difficult concept for traditional Leeds fans to accept. They don't understand it, it feels strange and uncomfortable.

The release of hurling justified abuse at players, coaches and the odd referee is what being a Leeds fan used to be all about. How dare they mess with our emotions. I yearn for those days to return.

We took as many away as your likely to get this season at home. Jog on muppet.

Now I think about it, there was something comfortably familiar with the last 2 challenge cup finals. Those were the days.

Bitey bitey.

Hmm, he made an excellent point to be fair...

I'd love to see the evidence for this 'excellent point.'

Bitey.

I hadn't realised just how much I was missing the weekly measuring contest over attendances . Is there going to a plate or a trophy awarded at the end of the season for the winner ? ?

No .

So who cares ?
The only people that need to be concerning themselves with attendance numbers are the financial departments at the clubs .

Unfortunately it seems that the 'I am not very well endowed in the trouser department but at least we get a good home crowd' brigade will once again be using attendances to gloss over their inadequacies .

By the way . We have around 4cm of snow on my street . Can anyone beat that ? And is there a trophy for..... etc etc etc

You were in no state to accurately judge things



Anyway, from my POV I estimated around 2k. Good turn out on a cold night.

I would describe fans who go to the away games lovers of their club. Surely they are concerning themselves with attendance numbers because they know it's healthy for the club of which they support?

4 Ft of Snow in glorious Kabul....... On another note looked like a good turnout from both fans considering the weather factors. Lets hope KR can keep up the away support just as much as any other team.

And not so long ago I used to come over with Batley and you were drawing about 2,000 - so your point is?

Had to join two images as our cameras panned the Away end at fulltime.

Think you've being owned. Oh and btw this was 2/3 mins after full time after the players had shook hands. Fans had started leaving the away end by this point.
