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

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.'"
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

| Quote little wayne69="little wayne69"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.'"
I am not trying to make a point, I simply responded to a post by a wakey fan claimed that they get a 3k drop in away fans due to Catalan, which is utter nonsense, so that's why I singled out wakey, I mentioned Huddersfield because they simply have very poor away support and sprang the mind, Salford have poor support full stop but travel disproportionately well. So the point being if you require a point is why just pick on Catalans for everything. It's a typical go to complain from wakes fans blame the non British non heartland side for their club being so poor.

I know it’s laughable really my brother in law who’s a hull city fan went to Exeter on a Tuesday night for a capital cup game with 600 other fans yet RL fans moan about traveling 40 miles

Going on my own experience Hull FC aside Leeds bring by far the biggest away following so much so that we had our then record attendance against them also Huddersfield have always brought a decent following

On this I’d agree with you,the clubs in super league have no one to blame now bar themselves for all matters it seems to me.
So it’s up to the gang of twelve now,

Really? Trinity fans blame non-heartland Clubs for Trinity being skint, that really is a new one on me  .
As far as fans complaining about the lack of Catalans fans through the gates because it creates a crap atmosphere compared to the rest of the games, well I've heard that from every set of fans, there's a Hull KR fan and a Cas fan even on this thread. I think all fans except that Catalans don't bring anyone and get on with things, it just doesn't create the most attractive fixture to look forward in the calendar for some fans. Personally, I care less as long as we get the win tbh.

| Away fans do create a better atmosphere , which in turn makes any team sporting contest a more attractive event
People can point out how different it is in other sports in other parts of the world , but in our sport in our country it is a factor
Personally I'd be going out of my way to attract as many away fans as possible

| Perhaps we have too much choice. American school/university sports can have 20 or 30 thousand home supporters and no away supporters simply because travel is impossible and there are few other outlets in widely spread communities.

| I spend some time in France and as a result get a lot of French adverts. It was interesting to see that the French Top 14 Rugby Union teams have been selling most tickets for 8 Euros over the holidays when they have little competition from football which closes down for a mid winter break. As a result Lyon RU were able to fill Gerlan which they took over when the football team moved into a new SOTA stadium. It is almost a perfect storm with a well funded team playing in an improved stadium at a time when there is little competition. Of course we are happy to play in ancient stadia in front of a few thousand.

NO , we aren't HAPPY , but without the type of income other sports have via broadcasting , we struggle to emulate them
