They were featured a few times by the Sky cameras too.

A few ? !!!!!!!!!!!!!


Every other play ffs

I've only ever noticed this robbo's clan 3 times now and each time we've won!! Up in Edinburgh, Sunday and now tonight!! lets hope they're here two weeks today as it seems they only come when we're on the telly!!

Being in that Riverside stand tonight made me realise Tansey needs help!!

Not surprised!!!

is that a date fella lol.. it does sound intising

Your son didnt go as it was late, how many other kids didnt either for the same reason?

My 80 year old Mother-in-law didnt go due to the late kick off and bad weather, as it was moved to a Friday my friend who travels from Coventry didnt make it either nor did my brother as he was away in Sunderland last night but had it been Sunday all 3 of those would have attended.

It is disappointing to get low crowds I agree but I can see why some of them didnt turn out.

Lets hope for a sunny friday evening in 2 weeks and plenty of marketing to get the fans back in.

Didnt say that was just trying to explain - not going to argue with you - little point.

I did not attend as i was delayed at work

.

because i did not go, neither did the three kids although i would have only taken one of them.

The problem is that we have a very high percantage of our tickets which go to families. ( i would be interested to know the percentage compared to other clubs)

BUT


we are a SUNDAY afternoon team. Games on Fridays are not for us and that shows with the crowds. Even a saturday 6 pm kick off is better but Friday night is f@@king uselesss for us. It is fine for 20 year old blokes who link it in with a Friday night p1ss up but not for women, kids, elderly etc.

I make no apologies for the crowd but SKY are helping to damage the game from attendances point of view with late changes and bad KO times

Fri night, live on sky, pi$$ poor weather ... 6.3k isnt that bad really is it?

SPOT ON
Plus the fact that the weather was terrible, anyone with Sky would have thought sod this I`ll stop in and watch it. I would if I had not got a season ticket.

With 10 mins to kick off i thought it was going to be alot worse come kick off but the Antich filled up radily in that 10 mins. Our 3 kids couldn't go last night as it was our ex's weekends for them, but I can also imagine a few people looking at the weather and thinking 'sod that i'll watch it on tv'. There was still over 5000 Giants fans there for a Friday evening in the rain and on tv which is better than how many would have turned up for us a few years ago on a Sunday afternoon in the sun. Big raps for those of us who got off our backside to turn up and support the lads.

I take it you never watched rugby in the winter era then? I've stood in far worse conditions than that to support my team, I'd much rather watch live rugby than watch it on the telly.

Was a terrible journey over and home for us lastnight, heavy rain and spray on the motorway not much fun, yet when we got home there'd been no rain at all in Hull.

Though you deserved your win tonight, we seemed void of all ideas at times and you made us work very hard defensively.

LOL you're talking to someone who's 65 and watched rugby league all his life

just over 1000 HKR last night which means it is a pretty poor showing from our supporters,
but saying that, friday night,on sky,pi$$in it down, did we expect anything else really from our JCL's?

You have also got to remember in the "winter era" there wasnt the coverage on Sky Sports there is now and people are all for the easier life...stay home, warm, dry with a beer and your feet up with close ups on the TV or go out and get cold and wet...some people just opt for the easy option. Thats the way it is these days. I dare say had it been sunny and Sunday afternoon then more fans from KR would have come across but Friday nights on TV are a killer on crowd numbers for everyone.

I agree 3 or 4 years ago we would have been well happy with that crowd for a Friday evening game in the wet. I suppose it just shows the progress the club has made though, that we expect so much more.

Live in West London so can't do Fridays, would have made Sunday. There will be more like me who struggle with Friday. Great win. Thought it would be tougher!

It isn't.
You will never get all ST's attending at the same game for lots of reasons - about 10 of which have already been mentioned on this thread.
Good following from HKR considering on Sky, Friday night and weather.
Well done to all who attended - we were treated to a good game of TGG.

Fair play, so what's the problem with a bit of rain then?

Bore off, will you. You're preaching to the converted.

Nothing to him cos he was there. But i can imagine some people not wanting to venture out on a wet night.

I know a few people who couldn't go due to working evenings, but would have gone on Sunday or Saturday.

Thought it was a decent turnout, last weekend in the sun, BBC camera's, Sunday afternoon and 2300 Cas fans and we had less in the home end than last night.

Thought it was a decent turnout.

The usual Huddersfield post match courtesy

I'm not preaching to anyone, I thought I was just discussing the attendance, I know people who couldn't be there lastnight due to work. I don't think the weather would have affected the number of Rovers fans who travelled over. It just seems a shame that you've got such a nice stadium yet it is only a fraction full. There's no doubt your board are doing their best to get bums on seats by doing cut price deals, but at the end of the day maybe that has an adverse affect with people thinking ah well it's raining, if I don't go I've not lost much.

Unfortunately Friday nights are not good for fans who want to travel from Hull. Have you tried driving from Hull to West Yorkshire along the M62 at 6pm? It's a nightmare! It took me 50 mins from Leeds.

Last season Hudd played Hull Fc on a Sunday and the crowd was just over 8000 and there were about 2800 from Hull. This season Friday night live on sky. It was the University freebie game so the crowd was up but there were less than 1500 from Hull.

Last season Hudd played Hull KR on a Sunday and the crowd was 7200 with about 2200 from Hull KR. This season, Friday live on sky and the number from Hull was halved.

Moral of the story, if you play a Hull team on a friday night expect the normal travelling support to be halved.
