You clearly do not know how we operate we are unique...we work together, some live together, and we bicker together about any-thing and every-thing to do with rugby....but we also stand together in times of needs (floods etc).

mmmmmm. youve got back early from wigan gav ???

Gav ?
Do keep up I never went to Wigan (page 1

)

I expected so much more considering you had - quote ' the most high profile player in world rugby'

WHY DO WE PUT UP WITH ALL THESE TROLLS???

It may not be the 'peak' but it certainly appears to be the region we're at right now.

Discounting the Salford game last season our only other games which had higher attendances was Hull FC (10k) and Wigan (9k). In both those games I'm sure the home support would work out to be around 8600* mark. I'd have liked to see 9k today but it wasn't to be.

*Give or take

Why?

All the cameras, all the photographers, all the media. An Interview on sky sports news before and after the game. Did Vanessa Phelps talk to sky sports news today about his debut?

Indeed

we dont ask them to come mate, they just do.



would be a bit boring if they didnt though.

I think Rovers should have put some effort into marketing this game. You won't get 10k gates until you start getting some media coverage.

I see you have not got any less boring as the day has gone on. Is your nickname "Thrush" by any chance?

IMO the biggest limiting factor against Rovers getting 10k gates is the stadium, once the East stand is extended and (hopefully) a new North stand then I'm sure we'll be averaging 10k with 12k+ for big games

Flatcap the trolling brigade aka paul m/batista aint listening

You wonder why we're on here making remarks when you've bleated on about what a high profile, box office draw, signing Mason is and yet clearly your attendance doesn't reflect that. Is the problem you just don't have that many people wanting to follow Hkr or perhaps people view Mason as a decent addition to your forwards but not really going to make that much difference to your team?

How did Hull do today Gimp?

Did the east stand actually sell out? They were 80 tickets left yesterday.

I dont think the east stand will produce many more through the gate, once this impressive north stand is done, i reckon we will easy get over 10k

fcimp you clearly are a wind up merchant of the highest order.

They can't resist - If there's a chance to have a go/stir things up, then it's all on.

Works both ways too - that's the way RL is in Hull and I don't think we'd have it any other way tbh.

Sorry, you base this on what exactly?

You failed to pull in 9000 home fans with the biggest signing in your club's history.

So what ffs, it's still nearly four times what we were drawing six years ago which is good going IMO.

I base this on the fact that when any sporting club in the world improve there facilities 10 fold then attendances increase, your fellow black and whites that went to Boulevard are a prime example, a few thousdand one moment - 15k the next. Which is great for the sport. Same will happen at cas and salford IMO. We will do it on a smaller scale as its on 1 stand but i cant see why we cant get another 2k through the gates

East stand sold out mid week when I went in to get the Salford tickets on sat there was loads ringing up for east stand tickets and the assistants turning em away as they obviously wanted them there, the well sold out and rm stand, when we get the big teams like Leeds Wigan and wire that will boost us to near enough 10,000.
