i know several leeds fans who wont travel to both hull clubs, because of hulls reputation for trouble, eventhough they they havnt personally experienced any problems themselves on previous visits. on a personal note i went to craven park to watch cas last year, and i must admit i didnt like the away stand, this wasnt helped by the poor weather.

OK, so what are Leeds fans supposed to do when the club says the allocation has gone and Hull KR advise Leeds fans not to travel without a pre purchased ticket... do you see where I am going with this?

Actually the gap in the North stand was the Extra 300 tickets Rovers had allocated to Leeds but as Leeds didn't sell out there first allocation till mid morning on Thursday Leeds said it was to late to sell the extra tickets that was available to them hence the gap .....those tickets then went on sale on Friday in Hull and where to only tickets available to latecomers Rovers fans as all the standing tickets that Rovers supporters could have bought were already sold

It can be but TBH a lot of away supporters who have kids don't visit either Hull club due to small elements of the home support if you get my drift.

Pathetic attempt to deviate from the issue.

I've been spat at, kicked at and sworn at as I've walked round Headingley through the South Stand but it's never stopped me from going back and taking my 2 boys.

lets be honest about it. there is only hull and rovers that travel in any numbers, yer leeds, bradford and wigan say they take big numbers away, but only when it's at the bottom of their garden. eg less than 10 miles away. when it comes to traveling more than 50 miles all other teams are a joke.

Didn't Leeds sell out their allocation on Friday? I am intrigued how you would suggest Leeds sold more tickets than those they had been allocated.

I think its a good point to make that Hull is the only city with 2 big rugby league clubs were as the likes of leeds and wigan and saints only have 1 so if you added the numbers from both clubs it would out weigh any of the other clubs travling suport by a mile

I think it's a good point to make that these 2 same teams managed to disgrace the sport by making the national papers for fighting with each other whilst a large part of the city was under water. Yes you're both REALLY special!

Try telling that to my 5 year old who was absolutely petrified by stones thrown at our car by so called HKR fans last season who couldn't take getting beaten,then I'll agree with you.

They are one of the reasons people,myself included, are giving for boycotting matches. I have mates who are Bulls fans and they won't go for the same reason. They may be few but they are hitting you financially.
