Why is it so empty at the kc tonight?

Re: crowd at Hull : Thu Apr 10, 2014 7:13 pm  

Theres no huddersfield fans there.

Re: crowd at Hull : Thu Apr 10, 2014 8:01 pm  

Meaningless regular season fixture.
Hardly anyone really cares about the result.
Both clubs can afford to lose over half their SL fixtures and still qualify for the Top 8.
It's on TV.
It's being played on a Thursday evening.
Huddersfield are not noted for providing a huge away following.
Two sets of fans disillusioned with the game for one reason or another.
Lack of star quality players on show.
Lack of free or discounted tickets on offer.
Clashes with Premier League Darts on Sky Sports 2 which appeals to the same demographic.

William, I bet you have a template reply all ready to go on these occasions with just a few variables to update before you hit "submit".

After reading your post, it's actually positive that there are any fans there at all.

I'm only guilty of being a realist

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

I'm sorry, but why is one man being allowed to completely derail the entire VT?

Maybe they just have a more advanced IQ, and can see the substandard competition for what it is.

So do you concede that hull fans will be splitting the atom soon?

The 80's era has gone and will never return.

How will you come to terms with this?
