It most certainly has but as DG says what would you prefer more home fans or more away fans! let that be the away followings concerns not ours especially as now we haven't been the most expensive for many seasons now so that can't be an excuse! Our away support has increased a lot this year even if many other fans wouldn't agree. I for one have been to more away fixtures this season than ever before!

I would prefer more home and away just to get to that 10,000 mark.
Our away support has improved a fair bit but it could be better

we will get there but we need to do it by building on our support it is the quality of our support which will be in harmony with success on the pitch. As we get better less away fans will come because they wont be seeing their side win.

the more of our support the better the atmosphere the better the positive rewards for the team and the club.

I think the away following at the Galpharm has dropped alarmingly this season . Hull and Hull kr only brought half the amount they usually do and Leeds possibly only a third

To be fair to both of the Hull teams this season both games were played on a Friday night and were live on Sky. If I remember right last season they were both on a Sunday afternoon.

Yeah - + Leeds game was on Sky (sat afternoon) and Cas on Sky (Friday Night).

We've not been all that lucky with the Sky fixtures this season.

Perils of success coupled with attractive rugby.
