Yeah he is!! But we had 4000 home fans yes very disappointing all the same!!

Not expecting a huge crowd on friday around 20000 from hkr and how ever many others as it well known we don't play well at home especially for Sky. If we don't win obviously we'll lose a few more for the Cas game too, will those 2300 come back?? I know from talking to a few when they were complaining about our high car parking price I mentioned a cheaper alternative which would be still cheaper for the SL game and they said they weren't coming and this was before the game!! yes only a handful but many Cas fans yesterday were here for a party!

Corrected your accidental typo error.

Yesterday was Cas' best chance to make the semi's since '98 or something. They wont bring as many for the league game IMO.

2002 and no we won't we will only bring 1800 to 2000 for the league game at best!!!

Did he complain about his own fans that day? our lowest gate this season i think? take away the 300 400 from hudds leaves 6200 home fans we normally aim for 7000 home fans and this is not bad for a small town circa 40000 population and 2 relagtions since 2004. compared to a club which merged with another major city in Yorkshire not so many years ago, and play in one of the best stadiums in the league. with the exception of bradford you have a real catchment area which you seem unable to pitch into despite your brilliant idea of slash priced season ticlets and offers for kids.

Unfortunately the RFL still only take into account the points scored to determine the winner of a game, when they change it to supporters present I am sure that neither Huddersfield or Castleford will get a look in at a Wembley final.

You could write to them with your suggestion - I wish you luck with it.

Dont want to argue with facts but the 2001 govenment census stated that Hull has a population of 243595. Has there been a mass exodus since then!!!!

we discussed later in the thread he's a Cas fan. Maybe we need to Mod to come along and separate the topic out.

A mod other than Gahan obviously - he's likely to make a hash of it

Love you Lee.

it will be hard against hkr.. good team this season

it will be hard anyway, at home , on sky


i think to be honest rovers will just have the edge over us, we still seem to be lacking confidence and pace in the side and i can see rervers taking advantage of that.has the potential to be a another cracking game but i cant see us shifting that monkey that BSKY have tied to our back.

rovers by 10

crowd in excess of 14,000
