Happy New Year Jean, hilarious as ever.
With their usual 30/40 supporters, where will the other 3000 or so come from to fill the void that would usually be filled by away fans.
Cas will have decent support, as usual, but, I dont think that Catalan playing in England has EVER helped a game sell out

Apart from maybe Leeds who brings 3000, nobody, Huddersfield bring about two buses to headingley and probably less to to other clubs, it's not away fans job to fill your ground, away fans should be a bonus, don't see more than about 1000-1500 wakes fans when they play Leeds.

The 30/40 fans is a myth unless you're counting players and staff.
It's the game I look forward to the least as a supporter. No disrespect intended to the challenge cup winners of 2018.

| I can’t see there being many if any sell outs this season given the dwindling interest in the game

Season starting way too early, hardly any time to build up anticipation, plus stupid loop fixtures that no fans want. Two years maybe 3 at most and we will be swapping the structure again.

Well that's 1500, less 2 bus loads more than Huddersfield bring, and that's as many as you'll get apart from Cas and FC, so what's your problem

The problem is the original poster claimed that due to Catalans lack of away fans sides have a 3k void from lack of away support, which is utter nonsense, and I think I am being generous saying wakey bring 1000-1500 fans it more like 600-700.

www.hullfc.com/news/2018-12-28-t ... s-to-derby
One stand sold out with another meeting capacity, I think alot more FC fans would be interested in going if we didn't have the majority of our small allocation in the very poor south stand.
Not a dig but is they a reason why they couldn't have moved that temporary golf stand in its place once the north stand had completed.

I agree with you it is utter nonsense, no club takes 3000 supporters to away games on a regular basis, Leeds is about the best away supported club depending on the team their playing and the day it's played on, and even they don't get anywhere near those numbers, I'm just not sure why you've singled out Wakefield and Huddersfield when there are other clubs with less away support than Hudds and more support than Wakey, and wasn't it you that insisted that clubs should not be reliant on away support, so what is really the point your trying to make.

| Leeds aren't the best away supported club. They might be for wakey and Cas away but they don't fancy Wigan or saints away on a Thursday or Friday night in recent years.

Clearly Leeds won't take as many fans to Wigan or Saints on a Thurs/Fri night as they would at the weekend, but if you turn it round, do you honestly believe those fans would fetch as many to Leeds under the same circumstances personally doubt it.

Fans are low priority with Sky but M62 travel on week nights should be kept to a minimum.

The golf stand was supposed to be used at the other side but it didn’t pass safety tests so was scrapped a lot of your fans were stood in the well last season so you don’t have to go in the south stand you just have to buy your tickets from us
