Going to be quite a few disappointed trinity fans as they are the noubreoeading 616 tickets to away fans not offering standard ten percent due to sale of 9209 season tickets

Was one fixture I attended regularly up until quite recently, especially straight from work on Friday nights with a few colleagues. Nowadays its a ground that's not particularly welcoming so no great loss imho. There are 10 other SL clubs to give our custom to. All games televised so nice evenings viewing in front of the fire.

Its 816 but still stinks.

ver 9000 season tickets is absolutely fantastic..to create more demand than supply has to be every clubs aim

[quote="Spookisback":gw7efls8]ver 9000 season tickets is absolutely fantastic..to create more demand than supply has to be every clubs aim[/quote:gw7efls8] Have to agree and only a few short years ago they were getting 4-5k. Let’s hope we can do exactly the same.

No thanks. Lets try and do it slightly different.

Good for them. It's the absolute target to fill your own ground with hone fans

[quote="PopTart":27v20eyi]Good for them. It's the absolute target to fill your own ground with hone fans[/quote:27v20eyi] Indeed, I'd love us to be only able to offer 800 tickets to visiting supporters.

[quote="PopTart":85bj9xe6]Good for them. It's the absolute target to fill your own ground with hone fans[/quote:85bj9xe6] I agree. Their season ticket sales have increased quite a bit over the past few years. If I remember coerectly, their average when they were in the championship in 2017 was just a little higher than ours last year. They've done a great job, and can't be denied that. They have just had plans approved to increase the capacity of the East stand, and its needed

Clubs will always need to buy in ready made/quality regardless of their youth set up. Some more than others.

Rovers haven't disregarded youth whatsoever in the present day, when it's starting point was and never has been shyed away from not great. It's going to take time. Wakefield have produced some great youngsters, no problem praising where it's deserved.

[quote="Wollo-Wollo-Wollo-Wayoo":14rqr8yc]You said that we should do "exactly" what Hull KR have done/are doing.[/quote:14rqr8yc] I said they have risen attendances from 4-5k in a few years. I said I hope we can do exactly the same and raise ours. You’ve taken the ball and ran off the pitch and out of the stadium with it. The youth side of things in terms of impact on club performance, growth and other metrics is another topic entirely in itself.

Didn’t Hull and KR both have a joint academy/scholarship a few years ago? Is that still the case and do you think that negatively or positively impacted either teams or has it created a player generation gap for either team? Be interesting to see how a KR fan would view that. Im guessing KR now have their own academy and scholarship. Apologies if im wrong about this as I genuinely aren’t sure what the current set up is. Some fans push for joint academies or regional academies so be interesting to hear as this would be the closest as a test to that.

HKR can pack as many into their ground as they like as long as they don't bring them to Wakefield! All clubs have their problem supporters but from what I've seen of HKR they have taken the problem ones from there loving neighbours ( who I quite enjoy coming to wakefield) That said, that's an excellent achievement selling so many ST'S and one which I'm sure we will be looking to aspire to.

At Trinity there’s separation mostly so there shouldn’t be much of an issue. I can’t recall any issues when KR brought support previously and I think it will really add to the atmosphere when big away support comes to Belle Vue.

They seem to like to fight amongst themselves first as a warm up before having a pop at the opposition fans....

And even the last time we played them!

We all have our opinions but mine is the complete opposite to yours! Give me Hull FC fans anyday!

Our fate had been confirmed the week previously at Leigh, and do recall seeing comments on SM by Hull KR fans, to be respectful towards us, and reminded fellow supporters of their fate in 2016. I also recall a certain section of the RWB Army page mentioning a protest at this game, featuring of all things, tennis balls. Which of those two paragraphs is most likely to cause trouble. At the end of the day, all clubs have a small pocket of fans, who, once they get a drink inside, can cause bother, we have them too.

[quote="Eastern Wildcat"]There was no trouble at Belle Vue, the last time we played them. Oh right! I must have dreamed what saw and heard I'm not saying a major battle took place but there was an element of drunk affected supporters looking to cause trouble near to where I was stood and some of them forced past me in no uncertain way mouthing off. But I have seen worse in previous games going back over the years. Like I said before, depends where you stand as to what you see.
