Wow. Aren't you all wonderful. |

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???'"
I bet you can recall trips to the Boulevard to see crowds of 3,000, yet Hull now boast a 13,000+ average.
Where were their "loyal" fans pre-KC? |

Sing a song of Yorkshire, from the Humber to the Tees
Of cricket, rugby, beer, of pudding and of cheese
I know no other county where the land is quite so fine
England's lovely county. And I'm proud to call it mine
Where shining purple heather stretches far across the moor
And the lapwing's cry above me takes the place of traffic roar
And peace comes drifting gently, there's no place I'd rather be
Than this land of hills and valleys, from the Pennines to the sea
So when I've done my roaming, and when my step grows slow
When heart and mind assure me that the time has come to go
Then let me rest in Yorkshire, for its there I want to lie
'Neath sun and wind and heather... and a gleaming Yorkshire sky:12411.jpg |

I'm not a Hull FC or Hull KR fan believe it or not!

[b:2e2uhwyq][size=150:2e2uhwyq] When Hull KR got promoted they said there was only room for one elite team in Hull... how right they were! [/size:2e2uhwyq][/b:2e2uhwyq]:6760.jpg |

| Quote: Ian P "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

| Quote: scarrie "No, we don't get 5 figure gates do we, oh no.'"
Hmm, where were these 5 figures on Saturday?
FC had bigger gates than Rovers in the 70's and 80's, since when we've spent the best part of two decades out of the top flight, and guess what we still have a smaller home support than you. So what? We are discussing whether FC fans support their team PASSIONATELY enough to come to a derby when near the bottom of the table, and expected to lose.
The Golf Stand seats answer that question. Thanks |

No s**t, well I never!
I kinda reckoned, that if you had managed to attend Craven Park in the National Leagues, perhaps you also managed to follow your side to Hull for a SL fixture. Is that not something Huddersfield fans occasionally do? With or without skateboard! |

It's not even a derby, just a couple of local villages having a biff!  |

All hail the magnificent HKR and their loyal supporters. 
ATEOTD we get over 10,000 every week at home and take decent numbers most weeks away. Over 1000 went to Cas to watch us get caned. With two shocking seasons after a period of relative success I'm quite happy with our crowd levels at present. I really don't see how a few hundred Hull supporters not going to derby game makes us poor fans. Frankly I think it's quite understandable. |

That puts it into context.'" It also puts into context how small and inadequate your ground is. |
