I thought there would be more there. Maybe to many false dawns but with performances like that and they'll be back. Cracking game and its all about me ganson made a decent atmosphere
Well done to wires fans plenty made the effort

Don't normally respond to trolls but there was also the small matter of the weather, it was very cold and minor roads were difficult to traverse.

Excessive admission charges coming from a Leeds fans is quite amusing.

You were close, £23 paddock, £27 north or Carnegie wings, £30 Carnegie centre.
The difference is if I choose to stand on the Western Terrace when Hull come, it costs me the same as you. If i choose to stand on the Carnegie terrace behind the sticks, i pay the same as you. When I pre purchased my tickets last season it cost me £19 behind the sticks, same as the hull fans at the other end. I don't see how adam Pearson is encouraging away numbers this season when he now charges £23 or £25 behind the sticks when the same ticket in the Hull end is £19. In such financially tight times Pearson is sticking a big finger up to the loyalest RL fans, the ones that travel home and away. I think the seats are overpriced at Headingley but if you're on a budget you can see the game for £20, as most fans do. pearson isn't giving away fans that choice at the KC.

You're not really going to quibble over £3 are you? Is it that important to you?

Stop being silly, nobody's trolling. If you're a proper Hull fan you get there, simple as that. Yes it was cold and conditions weren't ideal, but you're making modern day fans seem mollycoddled when they can't put themselves out to see what was in theory a massively promising game. If you think £20 at Leeds is excessive then that's your opinion, but that is the average starting price for viewing a top class game. nobody is forcing you to sit in the more expensive seats that start at £23 for a side view at Headingley.

Did you have that pre-typed by any chance? Just waiting for the bites


Anyway, simple answer - go sit with the Hull fans if it bothers you that much.

It all depends how much disposable income you've got, having been layed up for months after a back op £3 is a significant percentage of my "income" from the state. It's obviously not that important to you, it would appear you're in a better financial position than me right now. It's a £4 increase on last season, allied to the spiralling travel costs it will make a big difference to a lot of people.

So you don't have an axe to grind then ?

As I said roads were difficult and the police were advising people not to travel, there was also a lot of freezing fog around. If you consider peoples personal safely less important than a rugby game you are more of a t!t than I thought.

You know you're failing hard as a troll on our board when a Rovers fan stands up for us.

,yeah right. You know what would would happen if the hull fans came in the south stand at headingley or if we went in the Hull end in any numbers. Unfortunately certain fixtures dictate you sit/stand with your own fans, a sad reflection on the game really.

Just exactly what would happen ?

Pathetic. It's a good job you wetren't around in the war years.
Does your Mum tie your shoelaces for you before you leave the house in case you fall over and graze your knees?

You would be beaten to death by dozens of blood thirsty hull fans, stupid.

You don't need a vivid imagination, I'm sure you can work it out for yourself.

Was slightly disapointed with the crowd, but I expect the weather to have played a major part.

Our crowds will rise with our performances.

I hope so, if the league is as tight as the the 1st weekend promises there's room for big crowd increases across the board.

I reckon in decent weather we'd have got 15K+

Can't blame people for staying in when there was a chance roads may become impassible on the way home (melting snow during the day can soon turn to ice when the weather drops after the game)

the important thing is that the crowd seemed re-energized after 3/4 years of moaning, booing and walking out early...and I'm sure our crowds will soon grow if we keep playing with such commitment.

Humour me and elucidate anyway. What exactly do you think would happen?

That's a pretty weak attempt at rebuttal. I was at the game. Still waiting to hear what would happen if you sat in the south stand.

there is nothing to stop you going into the South Stand But get there Early
or you might not get in .There are a lot of pass holders plus paying fans that go in
Don't for get don't be late

see you there

The other factor could also be the fact that it was a Sunday match. Personally i prefare friday night matches to sunday afternoon matches, but i was still there. The weather had to be the main factor in the poor attendance for a game that attracked 16,121 last season. Its only the first game of the season, so dont worry about our attendances or finaces.

Just to put it in perspective, the only attendances we got last season higher than Sunday's were the derby and the final game against Warrington.

It was also not a world away from some attendances Leeds Rhinos got last year who had won three back to back Grand Finals in recent years. Their core 'home' support was around 13,000, not forgetting that massive play off attendance against us of 9,075.

I would suggest nothing atall, Infact I'm certian nothing atall, having had friends that support Wigan, Cas, Leeds, ROvers and Saints sit beside me in the stands at the KC during their resepctive away fixtures.
