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.

I'll say the same as I did on our board before the season kicked off.

We travel well because we're used to it. We always have to travel at least an hour whereas every other team are only a short distance away from each other.

Friday night games are always going to be harder to get to and those who are a little unsure as to whether to travel in the first place will probably say sod it as soon as they see it's on Sky.

I agree you travel well but Leeds sold out thier Golf Stand allocation yesterday and aparently sent 300 tickets back for the other stand whick IMO can you blame us?

The fact that Leeds fans were advised to purchace tickets before travelling by your club might have put some off too.

I cant understand how we were only given 600 for the golf stand either when there were clearly more that could have been sold and peple were turned away from the Headingley ticket office not wanting to stand in the opposite end.

There were a couple of hundred Leeds fans at the other end (I think ) but even with the extra 300 the attendance would have been down on last year. BTW that means there were only 7,800ish KR fans there. Where were the others?
