And that comes from the three year fans. Majority of Rovers fans Iknow have only had there shirts for 3 years and didn't even know Morrisons used to be the Old Craven Park. Lets see when Rovers are at the bottom if they still get 10000 like us. Oh wait a minute they don't even get that now.

SAD WE DID NOT SELL OUR ALLOTED TICKETS ,I WILL BE THERE ,CALL YOURSELF HULL FANS ,SHAME ON YOU

Take a look at when I joined RLFans Ironside!

Hacker!

you obviously haven't been around long enough to remeber the sub 4,000 crowds at the Boulevard?

Shame that it isn't going to be a sell out. It was one of the few true bragging rights the city had that the derby was the biggest in the world of RL.

Agree about the Sth stand, it is very poor, but having said that I have follwed my team at some shocking grounds over the years and not been too bothered. Ultimately I go to watch my team, not admire the surroundings.

I have spoken to over 2000 FC fans who were in the crowd of just over 900 against Hunslet ........... but, then it was raining!

I can quite understand the lack of enthusiasm for the derby, it would mean wearing an FC shirt, and, to most people these days, that's much too embarrassing a thought!

You see, this is proper sledging. None of that personal abuse. Nice one!

Oh I remember the days when it was always like this before the brick-throwing...

my thoughts exactly

Just like the good old days then. Good natured banter! (You know, the days when FC got under a 1000 fans to matches!)

Hmmmm... No I won't be going and yes I do call myself a proper fan.... and I'm not shouting either.

I just wish you could watch your team stood in the so called south stand.

Good attempt at sledging but you have to get your facts correct. It was Huyton and at least 10,000 people were in the recorded crowd of under 1,000!

Shut up you clown.

Alot of people from both sides on here wont remember this game as it was both pre Super league for both and Pre shiny stadium for them. But i remember having to go watch Rovers beat Hull at boothferry park (Something to do with the amazing Boulevard not able to stage a game) in a nothing game for which we sold our allocation, to watch a game from a view which could only be best described as at pitch level, and by that i mean my eyes were at the same level of the grass.
Man i struggled to climb up onto that field when psycho scored in the last minute.

Was in North Stand that day too mate, unforgettable day.

I agree with the Hull posters that feel sorry/angry/aggrieved that only 600 odd tickets of their allocation has been sold plus whatever they have bought in the golf stand. Either way its a shame and embarrasment to the club. And despite Mrs Barista's blinkered views it will show the supporters of Hull in a poor light on television. Credit to the faithfull who have shown they back their team in any kind of weather. At least they can sing Old faithfull with the knowledge that they are faithful.

Was an amazing day wasnt it.
The point im trying to get at though is that SOME FC fans seem to forget that boulevard was not all that great (Hence playing at another venue).
And i am deadly serious about some fans not remembering, god some FC fans forget that in their first Super League year their average was something like just below 6000.
I dont see however this has made all these pages, I as a KR fan could not care less how many tickets FC have sold as the East and West will be full of Rovers fans so its no odds to me if they cut their own noses off.
I have never and mean never gone to a game and paid because its a nice stadium in fact i cant even tell you how much it is to get into any away ground (and ive been to them all) as i just pay because thats what you do as a fan.
I just hope that everyone goes and enjoys themselves.

You mean because you've never been to a game, arm chair supporter!

I'm not going.

I've been to New Craven Park in the past (before Rovers where in Super League) and didn't find it a particulary enjoyable experience.

I choose not to go because I don't want to give my money to a chairman who's raison d'etre is to get one over Hull FC at every possible opportunity.

I made my decision when listening to him crow during the Cooke saga.

For those that do attend, they are ripped off financially and given a shocking view of the pitch. He's treating us like dirt.

Im sure that statement will put all the Rovers fans in they're place!

Wrong Fletcher there mate, it was Mike who soared like a salmon to take that kick, right in front of me.

Happy days!

If that was Hudge's only motivation why do Rovers bother paying top dollar for a squad to chase the top 4, surely we could just sign Dockers 1st XIII to carry out that task, and save shed loads on the salary cap.

Cant be an armchair supporter ask them in the west we here in the east sit on Netto Boxes we pick up on the way home from games, infact were so back dated our lass is winding the computer thingymybob up as i type.

Maybe you should have done.

You would be in a much more financially stable situation now too !
