I'm not sure I agree with that. Hull KR is not somewhere we tend to travel well because of the lack of facilities, high cost of tickets and behaviour of a certain section of fans in past visits.

Let's not forget that SM will incur a much higher cost per coach going to East Hull than he would going to Featherstone.

Transport won't be at a premium for that weekend because of the FA Cup final, but it would possibly cost a premium.

what you arnt realising is that warrington get 50% of the gates at CC games so by putting cheap coachs on he gets more money. but with the rovers game he will already be getting a 50% split for the 8,000 crowd that will be there. moran is a business man at the end of the day and in business you no how to earn money. just think about it........

That's a great point, one which I'd never entertained before, cool.

We'd have taken no more than 300 to Featherstone had it not been for the cheap coaches, but we took about 5 times that.

How much does the driving range stand hold at KR? Surely less than 1,000? Meaning he's maximising the Featherstone profits more than he would going to Hull.

Well I'm making use of radio commentary and TV coverage for the cup game (anything to avoid bloody Davies). Not been to Craven Park yet and not overly keen on changing that for a while (mostly down to finances and facilities)

Not sure about others mind

You know what Cockers, i actually agree with you here, it maybe the first time but there's a first for everything.

We would have beaten Fev anyway without the coach loads of people so it would have made more sense to put cheap coach's on for the Quarter Final when we had more chance of getting a Super League team and our team would need our support more.
It turns out that we have drawn one of the dearest and one of the longest places to travel to and people are not going to turn up for those reasons, so the cheap travel should have been done in this round instead of last.

It was still a nice gesture from the club and it should never be expected to happen again, if it does then that's a bonus but nobody should expect it to be done.

Do you still believe that Moran is no good for the club and that the sooner he goes the better?
