Just off the top of my head our support at awauy games has been very good this season. Certainly up on previous years. We had good turnouts at Bradford and Wigan and at HKR we had taken the most there of any team to that point ( even the HKR fans congratulated us on that), ouyr support at Quins was very good and we had loads at Wakefield last week .

I am pleased about the away support the Home attendances are a bit dissappointing but still up on last season and considering we have had so many home games changed and being on SKY we are hoplding up well.

So far we have been at home and on TV for
Leeds, Hull, Cas in cup, anything else

all of that affects crowds. Plus our home form has been DIRE so far

Read my post again, I'll think you'll find it makes perfect sense and the answer to your question is in there already.
There are some clubs we just don't travel well to for whatever reason. Leeds, Wigan, Hull, we tend to be poor even by our standards. But our away support is improving and I know this for fact because I've been there and seen it with my own eyes.
ATEOTD you're no one to judge, so keep your snide crap to yourself and concentrate on your semi. If we get there we'll take what we take.

Can make head nor sense of your original post, and oblivious to any answer.
As for seeing it with your own eyes, you must'e sat in row z and had tunnel vision. Hudds don't have great home crowds and away they are pathetic.
We can judge because are well supported both home and away.

i think you may need to do a bit of research in future before spouting rubbish

So having a 20 yr start on us crowd wise, you still feel the need to have a "dig" at ours.

If you've been there then you'd know it takes time, obviously not

Try 30 years, starting from the old div 1 to their peak in the mid 90's.
Wigan have hardly been the top club during the SL era but their crowds have increased.

It does take time, but how long do you want. for some reason the hudds public are voting with their feet.
