Yes but its just a mere warm up act for this afternoons blockbuster clash

IMG calculate attendances the way they do, to prevent clubs inflating numers.

The way clubs inflate figure is exactly the reason Rovers took the stance they have regards announcing attendances.

Rovers also announce every attendance figure, they just do it quarterly.

This seasons total average, has been announced as 9883.

9883 for a team 2nd in the league….not bad…..but bad mind if a team 2nd from bottom averages more.

A bit like man city will never be as big as man united no matter how successful they are

It'll be interesting to see if IMG actually do what they've said there going to do, and use the information from the fire safety marshall's, so it's actually bums on seats, and not inflated crowds, or the fake season passes the SMC has to buy from Fc.
Hopefully it'll be interesting times ahead when the figures come out

The smc passes is a fallacy

Are you sure, the Rovers fan so it is true.

Hopefully IMG are true to there word and we'll see some real figures.

IMG attendance scores max out at 7,500 iirc, so the exact numbers won’t matter much for the city’s two clubs in that regard. I’m not sure why IMG went for such broad bands for attendances and such fine measures on league places, for example. But they did.

I suspect we won’t get a full breakdown by category, never mind the input data, just the overall scores and grades.

The fire safety marshall's what?

Whatever. Hull will always be the bigger club, you know this. Like Jake says, Man U will always be bigger than Man City. Liverpool will always be bigger than Everton, Arsenal will always be bigger than Tottenham.

Spot on. Just how it is.

If RL sticks with the system you'd expect to see the targets rise with time, like 'you've got 7.5k well done, now try and get 10k' but knowing RL as we do it'll change to a new format in like years time

Maybe that's were the problem lies at Hull, you've been clinging on to the bigger club claim for so long that the 'bigger club' isn't that big anymore, mediocrity has not just crept in, its taken over, your big clubs so big now that some fans on here are hoping for a 9th place finish next season, thanks to the quality players that you've signed.
You'll always have a bigger ground capacity than us, I'll give you that one, just a shame that your dwindling crowds look so sp in it.

Calm down, kidda, you've still won all for nearly forty years.

Hull FC - Having their worst ever season
Hull KR - Having one of their best ever seasons

Hull FC still get more support. Go figure.

Thought bishops finger was one of the more sensible kr posters but he’s turned into another obsessed dobbin.
Living in a fantasy world.
Even when kr got hammered at Wembley
The million pound defeat etc
I’d never ever bother to go on kr forum to gloat.
Actually feel sorry for these individuals.
Its rather sad.

Remember the old saying. Form is temporary but class is permanent. Apply as necessary.

Can't argue too much with the dream team for any positions apart from Matty Lees, there is no way in the world he has been better than Ese Ese, stats wise, Ese Ese is better in just apart every area, miles ahead in attacking stats.

Not just Ese Ese, I'd have Sue, amone and Whitebread ahead of him.

I fully agree with Luke Thompson but after that I haven't seen a better prop that Ese'Ese this season and he's playing in a team that's been hammered every week. If he was in a top 4 team he would be absolutely unstoppable. Hard done to in my opinion.
Rest of the team is pretty much spot on I'd say. Could argue a case for a few others but Ese'Ese is a clear cut above the rest.

Really hope Wigan can keep hold of Nsemba. That kid is an absolute freak and his future can be whatever he wants it to be. I'd imagine the NRL clubs are already circling.

Agree, he has been amazing and carried us, Amone has been brilliant too, he is the only other one. Sue has played well recently and scored a few tries, reminds me a bit of Satae, odd bit of flash play, but doesn't do it consistently.

I hope Nsemba goes over soon, love to see British players doing well in the NRL. Him along with Wardle and Lewis should try there hand in the NRL, all good enough to be successful there.

Yeah the NRL thing is a tricky one for me because I agree it's great to see players go over and show what they can do. But I also don't want to lose all our best players to a different competition.

I do at the moment, we wouldn't lose any

It’s interesting that it’s a vote by a panel. I wonder if it is a secret ballot or if they get together (maybe virtually), have a chat and it’s a show of hands. It’s much easier to imagine a conversation taking a ‘who are we going to put in from Saints’ turn than enough people just voting for Lees unprompted.

No Morgan Knowles though, which I think means that an angel gets their wings.

Not sure how it works, did it use to be voted by the players or was that just MOS.

Overall I don't think it's too bad and whilst Lees has had a decent season, think there are alot more deserving players.

Who do people think should be the top 3 for MOS, for me it would be Sneyd, Lewis and Wardke, with Lewis winning it.

Young player has to be Nsemba, but I'd like ti think Martin makes the top 3 Cant think of two better young players this year.
