Aye, they usually "look after" the away fans at The KC.
Mind you, the Galpharm (John Smiths) stadium is never cheap !

Hull are doing some deals for away fans this season but only for certain games. It was £19 for Bradford fans paying in advance.

I think that's the key everywhere, buy in advance and it's less than on the gate.

The game tonight is absolute pants! It's so poor that it's actually amusing. Just needs the Benny Hill theme tune playing in the background to finish things off.

Rugby League in this country exhibited more professional traits during the semi-pro era :lol:

Rose tinted glasses, I know quite a few guys between the ages of 54 and 67, and they talk some rubbish sometimes, a lot o it is to try and make themselves feel better. A far as what happens on the field, well I've watched more form Aus during the 80' and 90's, and granted there was a bit more ad-lib football back then, but obviously because defences weren't as good. But RL will outlast RU.

It would to see more artificial pitches, and indoor stadia. As slippery conditions affects RL more than any other sport.

Quite possibly, particularly as SL attendances this season have rather surprisingly entered into the red in comparison to last season. I wasn't expecting that.

SL attendances this season after the completion of 54 fixtures currently stands at 1.75% down on the total last season for the same fixtures. Hopefully, there will be some bumper attendances during the Easter holiday period to reverse the trend.
