Would you pay £7 more than everyone else to go to cinemas, knowing you will only see half of the screen ?
The away end is pathetic at Rovers; if they had a half decent stand the derby's would be far better at CP |

North Stand had available tickets, blah blah blah, can someone lock this thread now we're going round in circles (this discussion probably needs a decent half back to organise it  ) |

Probably because most of these hardcore Rovers fans who would go to the ends of the earth to watch their team were actually in the pub.

Mate, there were more Rovers fans on Saturday than go to our other league games, whereas you only brought 600 of your 13,000 regulars. You really are missing the point, no doubt deliberately, our home gate is not the issue here (it is smaller than yours but growing), your fans desire to "travel" to the away derby is

You probably had a couple of hundred more home fans than normal for this game. To say we only took 600 is a joke. It was more like 1000 as we had sold 600 tickets in the South stand prior to the game and we had lots of fans in the North stand.
This was your home fixture yet loads of your "fans" were watching the game in the pubs. When you can convince them to come to a home game where they would have a far better view than the away fans maybe you can comment about away support. I actually watched the game at a pub about 5 mins drive from Craven pack and it had loads of plastic Rovers fans in there making out they were the diehard loyals

Keep it up, what's the next subject change? Your fans didn't turn up to support the mighty FC take on Rovers in East Hull. We do turn up at your place (circa 2/3rds of our home gate made the effort versus 6-7% of yours). End of.
First we had the "reasons", then we get the straw man. Time to lock it mods, purlease... |

Keep on missing the obvious reason if you wish. It just re-inforces the small club mentality you and your fellow fans seem to have. That was probably our lowest away turn out of the season (apart Salford), we will take more to Catalan in a few weeks but you keep on convincing yourself its got something to do with loyalty if you want. |

May I remind you of a few years ago when the Rovers fans were plotting a boycott to a the Clive Sullivan trophy game because they wasn't get 50% of the income of the game.
So you lot are no better. |

Yeah but the difference is we didn't actually go through with it.   |

Which TBF you didn't well the North stand was half full that day so I reckon there was still a chunk of your support who stayed away.
The fact is though you were creating excuses not to attend which is what this whole thread is about isn't it ?

Tbh I can only vaguely remember any talk of a boycott, and it wasn't from me I can tell you that (attended every Sully game).
IMO 99% of people who would have gone anyhow were there, I really don't feel any boycott of a noticable level happened in the end. |

When the Boulevards white with clover, they'll never beat the Rovers.
