I can never understand what people have against teams like Hull KR having a good away following,after all its all £££'s for the home team

[quote="t-r-i-n-i-t-y"]I can never understand why taking millions of people away is so important to some.....I'd rather my club win trophies than win an online contest over how high they can wee against a wall.[/quote

I'm sure it's important to the opposition teams coffers. An extra 500 away fans could mean an extra 10k in the pot.

Who said they had anything against it?

Merely that success will bring more money. Is it that success has been lacking from KR for a while so you have to hold on to something?

No, we took 7000 to the NL1 Final in 2006, compared to (according to Rugby League Express) the 6000 Huddersfield fans who attended the 2006 CC Final.

2002 buddies cup final at featherstone, how many did you have there?

A good away following is very important to all sports , it helps to create atmosphere at stadiums

One of the main problems with RL below SL is the lack of away support and the lack of atmosphere therin

The Fans of HKR that spend thier hard earned following thier club home and away should be congratulated

All 500,000 of them

Cynical we all may be, but they are bums on seats and the more the merrier.

If only "£$$£"$$%%^ club had such an increase then we would all be happy.

Ok the games is now more about eyes on the box but if we can have both then so much the better.

The viewing figures in east hull top the ratings even more than Corrie


Sorry

Highest attendance: 47,747 vs St Helens, 27 March 1959


This silly stuff about Hull KR taking the most fans everywhere has to stop, ok their fans are really good and make lots of noise but they do not take the most everywhere.

We take the most to Catalans, Harlequins, Wire and Saints.

In previous season we have taken more than 5000 to both Leeds and Bradford.

Leeds support around Yorkshire is pretty good as well.

They need to get their home support sorted first before they can even begin to start thinking about trying to gloat about having the best away support, they are not even over 10,000 average, and yeh they might blame it on away support, but we dont get any either appart from wire and saints and maybe if they got some good facilities, more people would go.
