I love this. Rovers take 6,000+ to the KC every derby, hence the sell outs / near sell outs, whereas FC bring less to Craven Park than Warrington did... and yet the low attendance is somehow KR's fault? Love it. Loyal supporters? Wouldn't know the meaning of the words.

Did you actually read the whole thread or just bits of it ?
The majority stayed away because of the price YOUR club charged us to attend. KR fans coming to the KC get the whole North stand which seats around 4k and they pay the same as those in the opposite south stand. Every club that has visited Craven park has been charged £10 for that "stand" except one , FC  |

Don't know and don't care 
put it this way, they have a fan base of around 8,500, so any expansion seems pointless, just rebulid the south stand, or bring it closer! |

| My point is, that even when Wigan have had a lean spell against Saints over the past few seasons they still bring plenty of support to KR and we do to the JJB (DW). So the attendance shocked me for the "biggest" derby in SL.
It has been £17 to get in KR and the goons still bring alot of fans, so the ticket prices shouldnt really be an argument. Anyway dont Hull KR have 80000 fans at every game?  |

There appeared to be many seats in the golf stand not occupied. Despite the number of Hull fans in there I was under the impression this was a "rovers " stand? |

For the record, yesterday was the first derby I have missed since becoming a Hull fan in the early '80s.
The reason I missed the game was due to Sky changing the date of the fixture. I would have paid the £17 (or what ever it was this time around), despite it being the worst view of any sporting venue I have ever attended.
personally I think the pricing policy just goes to show what a small minded attitude the CEO / Chairman of hkr has.

Remind me how many you were getting four or five years ago.
Less than 9,000 Rovers fans turned up for a home derby, which is pretty pathetic, isn't it? |

Despite two poor seasons we are still the third best supported club in the league, my friend. |

Would you have taken 6000 to the KC 5 years ago ? |

I love the way Hull KR fans question "loyalty" of the Hull FC supporters!
I can remember going to Craven Park when you struggled to get 1000 there. Now your averaging 8000+ crowds?
Where were those loyal supporters back then???

Rovers will take at least 4 times the amount Hull brought last night to Richard Horne's testimonial game next year.
That puts it into context.
