| Quote: Wellsy13 " more excuses...'"
Go to the Rovers shop, or phone them up, buy a ticket, go to the match - how hard is that? I bought my KC derby tickets direct from FC after we'd filled your North Stand, it really wasn't complicated and it meant I got to see the game. Everything else you go on about is just pitiful excuses I'm afraid - ooo, the Golf Stand hasn't got a roof and the angle of seating isn't quite as good as the KC. Hmmm, yes, I can really see how that'd put you off, nothing to do with your league position or fear of watching FC lose to Rovers. Dear oh dear.
Rovers fans not buying the Golf Stand tickets is a swerve. We had circa 8,500 fans there, we have lower home support than you for decades of reasons... but they all turned up on Saturday. You lot on the other hand? Well only about 6-7% of your home fanbase wanted to support your team in the local derby. Well done. 
Anyway, like the other bloke said, to be honest I really don't care that much about crowds as long as we're winning and higher in the league. The fact you had a bigger home gate wasn't that depressing for me in 1980, 1984 or 1985, amongst others, and I'm sure it won't bother me in the years to come either  |

Less than 25% of your home fan base supported Rovers 3 years ago. Well done you

Here's your free maths (and history lesson):
25% of 8,500 = 2,125
3 years ago (2006 season), Rovers average home gate was 3,100 (bit like a few of your Super League gates prior to your merger).

Dunno, but irrelevent because you said 3 years ago (2006). |

I live in London and work abroad most weeks so only get to 3 or 4 games a season (mainly the derbies for some reason...), but I still buy a season ticket and have done for years.

Pah, another plastic fan

Say what now?
You come onto a thread discussing the Hull derby and expect anything else? How many other threads on the first 2 pages of this forum are discussing either of the 2 Hull clubs?
