I agree both grounds wont be full until we are both contenders.

Both clubs could actually do some good for the people of the City by setting realistic prices, the KC is expensive (unnecessarily so), I'd rather see the place rammed for the Derby, regardless of which "place" it is.

It won't. Cameras will be far too far away being as they will be around the pitch. Too far away from the Humber to focus on who's in the South "stand" and I doubt that the microphones will be able to hear us either.

No wonder CP has it's "fortress" reputation. The away fans are either so few (on a normal match) or so far away (for the only half decent away crowd (what a fool and poor businessman Hudge is not to exploit the only opportunity for a sensible away crowd all season by not giving us the Golf stand) i.e., us) that by intention or default Rovers have determined that by hook or not by Crooke the east stand is the only voice that will be heard.

It's almost as if it were premeditated...

The biggest difference is in the mindset of the two sets of fans. KR are fans in the true sense ... they follow their team. FC fans will only follow a winning team (viz the Derby last year where they expected to be beaten and Salford where they could only muster 250). I am proud to say that I will follow Rovers to the KC because they are my team and I support them "in any kind of weather" not just if I think we will win.

Yeah but at least the [uwhole[/u of our East Stand is noisy and lively. Without the dozen or so fourteen year olds in Chav Corner your's would have a morgue-like atmosphere.

Spot on

registered just to say that

I went to Salford last year and there were around 6-700 Hull fans there. Granted, normally we take upwards of 1,500 but to say there were only 250 is complete crap. And I had a good look because I was sat down the side at the game so could give a reasonable estimate. How do you know there were 250 there? Next time you attend a Hull away match maybe we can meet up, hell, I'll even get you a beer.

And as to the Derby at Craven Park, the reason Hull fans don't attend is one of principle. £18 for us and £10 for all other away speccies without the necessary binoculars, up yours Hudgell.

I remember when Rovers trolls used to be good.

Don't feed the troll.

While I'm recovering from reading your classic first post...

No doubt you and the other 8,000 odd that attend Craven Park this year managed to split into 800 paying speccies and 7,200 odd who sneaked in and weren't registered on Rovers' attendances not so long back.

And how would you explain the difference in crowds since your promotion? And the drop in crowds this season where you have been less successful than last year? Or even more tellingly the year-on-year INCREASE in FC season pass holders despite two years of abject failure on the pitch?

Rovers fans are the same as those who follow any other team. If the North Stand at the KC was as poor for viewing as the South Stand at NCP, and you were charged more than any other fans to sit there, you'd have a similar proportion of stay-away fans.

Your 'reasoning' (and I use the word [ivery[/i loosely) is flawed.

That's going back a bit.

What a load of b0llox....please explain why we have record season pass sales after 2 very poor seasons, daft lad




I know I should not feed the troll but wtf

Yeah but from what I've been told if you buy a Wembley ticket for the very top row you're further away from the pitch then our South Stand.

Are you [iseriously[/i attempting to compare NCP with Wembley?



I can tell you from personal experience that the view from the top row at Wembley is pretty good. The elevation compensates for the distance.

You having a laugh Roofs



Wembley...Craven Park

Thats funny I remember Justin blaming a defeat on the amount of noise created by the FC fans as the players couldn't hear each other

. God them Chavs must be loud

Well hopefully it drew a chuckle if nothing else.









Sweet, glad you said that Kosh - have got tickets for Green Day there in June near the top and was worried it'd be like watching 5 ants on a stage.

In all honesty I don't remember him saying that?

Visiting the KC is like a trip to Wembley for you lot . Your C***hole of a South terrace is a joke.
I won`t pay £18 to stand there.
Golf Stand or SKY for me.

Yeah, I'm sure you were all there when you were in NL1 and struggling to drag in 2000



Fanny's in the true sense

But, as I said in my original post FC took 250 to Salford and 600 to CP. Rovers took 850 to Salford and 6000+ to the KC. Why? Because we support our team through "any kind of weather". You say, for example, that you have had record season ticket sales. Where were these folk at Salford and CP? Glory supporters the lot of you (well, excluding a certain 250)
