We took 2,000 to York in League 1. Surely take more in the Super League.

Except we didn't. I attended every home and away game back when we were in Super League and I remember the last couple of years when the away following had massively dwindled. It was nowhere near 2,000. |

I think we can get back to that level. Provided we continue to progress.

I can understand that as losing means people dwindling especially from going from WCC Champions to bottom of league. It seems our away following has increased since we were relegated but home support has dropped drastically. |

I know the players and club go on about atmospheres but unless there is 7k or more in Odsal there isn't one. Maybe the smaller grounds and proximity to the pitch of away grounds provides that atmosphere and that's what draws people to away games. It's far more entertaining to be in that kind environment. |

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

That's correct Hamster, and to be fair, only shows how much the fans making up the current away following are investing in the management and coaching set up. The club is much smaller now on just about any scale you choose to use but the "buzz" around the place is massive. |

| Quote: Cross Hills Cougar "On the subject of the benefit of away fans, somebody else on the Forum wrote KEIGHLEY Cougars head coach Craig Lingard believes that a large crowd can inspire a famous victory for his side in Sunday's eagerly-anticipated derby clash with Bradford Bulls.
It is the first time the two clubs have met in league action for 41 years and Cougar Park will be buzzing as Craig Lingard's men tackle the BetFred League One championship favourites.
Lingard said
So maybe swallow your pride and attempt to reconnect with reality.
