I sit away from the Rovers fans so can usually make a decent estimate.
Between 3.5 - 4k there today from Rovers which is magnificent.

Always make me laugh when people sem to have the ability to estimate crowds based on sight alone, especially when they are in the middle of the crowd itself.

Indeed, it's just a shame we still get a negative reputation from other opposition.

Some people have a strange sense of humour... you should get out more

I sat in the main stand and can confirm it was a massive support for Rovers both in the away end and down the standing touchline

About 4000 imo

Ok, but I'm sick of it and your laughing about it on said other sites exacerbates this. Fact is, there was trouble today and there was trouble at Batley. We had no trouble on Friday or at Leeds or Dewsbury.

We've had a well publicised incident at the Galpharm years ago with consequencial action from the club ensuring no repeat, an reputed epidode at Wire which turned out to be Hull City fans and the sad state of affairs shared by you at Craven Park the other year for which Rovers were fined.

Nothing else that I recall. But if it does happen again it does need us fans to take action. Or don't you agree?

'Course you could always return to the Bradford site and wind them up more with trivial remarks and smilies.

There you are again, sat with your knitting needles waiting, on the board of the team that we were playing. You did the same when we played
Batley. As Wilf used to say to people, "I really couldnt be bothered" I dont really know what is sadder, you waiting to join in or the fact you seem to believe what you read on the internet. As for your statement about not having any trouble yourselves, are you sure? Dewsbury? Amongst your own? A poster who uses your site? Fact is, there are idiots who follow both teams, they need to be dealt with, and no matter how you dress it up now, what your lot did at the McAlpine will never be forgotten.

Shame all of you couldn't behave. They're kicking off on the Bulls' board about having to close down the Touchdown bar because of Rovers fans causing trouble and fighting outside afterwards.

I don't thinkyou realise how badly it reflects on every fan from the city. Only since your promotion to Super League do I find myself having to constantly defend Hull FC's reputation away. It's really getting a bit wearing, can't you take photos of persistent offenders and get them banned?

Cretin

Thought we turned out in droves again, just a shame odsal cannot generate an atmosphere, if the crowd was 14k+ then there must have surely been 4-5k of red and white. Spoke to about 4 Bulls fans and they all said we are the best supported away team they get.

Yeah, you always bring a good set of fans, the only time that beats it is Leeds Bradford derbies but then its only downt' road
