you didnt sell them all though, as you said you sent 300 back.
yes its a poor stand but so what, a die hard fan would still be in there giving it some.

Because they want to be able to see what is going on? Perhaps!

All this die hard rubbish annoys me - fans will go to which games they want to/can get to for whatever reason. Most of us would love to get to every home and away game but very few people are in the position to be able to do that for whatever reason.

I would expect this season for the amount of travelling support from every club to decrease because a lot of people aren't going to have the same level of available money with things as they are at the moment and unfortunately when money is tight "luxuries" such as away games will be the first thing to go for most people.

At the end of the day though any away fans in a bonus and clubs need to be focusing on getting home fans in as these are the people who will (hopefully) come back week in week out throughout the season.

I thought they were North Stand tickets that were returned to our shop, the North Stand is as close to the pitch as your South Stand, plus it has seats.

By the way, the little bunch of nutters from Quins who attend our away games will rack up 9,000 miles this year ....

I think they are fantastic. Whenever they have turned up at KR I've always wanted to give them some applause because they seem to get everywhere and are so committed. So I'll just give them some applause here, if you don't mind.

(And I aint patronising or anything. I think they are a wonderful group of fans. I feel the same about the even smaller bunch of nutters who travel all the way from France!)

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.

Utter garbage, maybe you should visit and see for yourself.

Sorry if already mentioned but Bulls chairman Peter Hood congratulates HKR fans in this weeks League Express for their away support at Odsal the other weekend.He says they brought 2500 and were absolutelty excellent.He reckons Rovers sold 1000 tickets and had a walk up of 1500(don't know how he can gauge this,probably bumming up the home crowd) and apart from paying admission they ate lots of pies and drank lots of beer he adds.I wish more clubs would emulate that he says.Perhaps his own club will emulate it when they visit Craven Park.
