if you make the away end more comfortable dont you think you'll attract more away fans.on bad weather days yours(& a few others)grounds hardly encourage away fans to attend.
you go back to places youve had a good time.even if you go away and win,but youve spent the game huddled up shivering and soaked to the bone,ur less likely to go back in the colder months.
as you say, you have no trouble attracting home support,so why not also entice some away support n boost ur coffers.

incidently,.31% is a small coach.
an away coach maybe?

No.

This is a fable over these parts. I can't quote figures, but I suspect away fan numbers at the KC are basically the same as ours. Many away fans bemoan our facilities, but in reality its just an excuse. The real reason is the length of the M62 and not the lack of a roof on our away end.

cant say i know the figures,but if both hull clubs can travel well once a fortnight,what is stopping other clubs travelling to hull twice a season.
i would ask you though,if you were a an away fan from the west riding or lancashire etc,which ground would you rather go to in the colder wetter months.an open to the elements craven park(easter 200icon_cool.gif,or a seated covered kc?

That's an easy answer. Whichever ground my team was playing at! It may come as a surprise, but having been weaned on a diet of Batley, Whitehaven, Leigh (Hilton Park) etc, we don't mind a bit of rain, snow, etc if it means we get to see our team.

Decent facilites are for ponces!

If the wind and rain is from the east you cant run and hide.

I think the other clubs have a different map, which shows Hull as being near Moldova

only Leeds and Wigan bring a consistently good following over. I suppose Wakefield and Cas bring a decent number compared to how many they get at home..but the others bring a joke following to the KC.

To be honest mate I've been watching Hull for over 30 years, seen some good, lots of bad and occassionally some bl00dy brilliant. I watch a lot of amateur games and like to watch entertaining rugby. My first desire is to see Hull win, but a very close 2nd is to be entertained. I've seen Hull lose plenty of games where I've enjoyed the game but haven't been enjoying the rugby on offer from Hull for some time. I'd happily take us being competitive and playing entertaining rugby but can't see it happening with agar in charge. He's too one dimensional for me and needs to go if we are to progress.

Is that OK by you?

Dunno about anyone else but I'm not. I take my 6 year old and he wouldn't be able to see. Anyway, who'd want to stand with 5499 chavs?

Hey, I see what you've done there. The old changing the original poster's quote gag. very original. Against the AUP isn't it?

Have rovers ever averaged over 10,000?

Kids, this is proof.........

























































[size=200DRUGS DON'T WORK!![/size

Probably not, have Hull ever managed >14,000 prior to 2007?

No, but they averaged 13,000 plus in the 80's. The 2007 figure was really more to do with 2 home derbies than a reflection of our home support TBH

finally a rovers supporter, taking off the spectacles........good luck and I sincerly mean it.

But your last 3 years figures have been your 3 best ever, thus proving that RL is more popular now than the "halcyon days" for both clubs.

Tell me what they are and I will consider taking them off.

opps a spelling error "CORRECTED" ........JOG ON

Being told to jog on by a Hull fan on the Rovers board, priceless.

Get back to the White Lightning sunshine. I'm sure you will get a job one day.

They're only marginally better though. If we were pulling in 30% more than we ever have before you'd be onto something but we're notr. Take out the massive derby crowd and the average would probably be less than our best in the 80's

Be interesting to see how many clubs are currently averaging more than they ever have before if your argument is there's a big increase in clubs' attendances. I'll let the bean counter sort that out for me

Can they fit that many into the NE chav corner at the kc.

I'm impressed.

is it not time you moved out of your mums, and got yourself a girlfriend,and got yourself a job instead of borrowing other peoples computers. of course your tag in conjunction with your cerfew wont allow you out of your mums after 7.00pm



Anyway good luck Rovers I hope your all very grateful Hull f.c were able to gain the £300.000 saving to nhs hull last february to put in your pot for your "new" stand???????

Well done to Rovers on the East Stand Extention.
