This week: Four keys to a Rhinos win in the WCC:Transparent Backgrounds/Waldorf.gif |

| Quote: jonny the leyther "Wakey's a huge place so i'd say they have a chance. '"
The problem Wakefield face is that while their MDC area is a fair size and the WF postcode spreads even further than that, it also encloses a fair few other rugby league clubs whose fans wouldn't be seen dead going anywhere near a Wildcats game.

In your opinion. In my opinion, which is just as valid as I was at the Easter game last year and also attended the CC mauling on the BBC a few years previously, you are incorrect on both counts.
I am fully aware that our away support is nowhere near the best but it is improving. I think you need to develop a thicker skin when someone highlights that your numbers were down on previous visits. There's no point in reactionary criticism like yours; you just look petty and stupid.

Yes our numbers were down last time we played at the Galpharm.
We certainly boosted Wakefields coffers on Sunday though.
Maybe its just the whining Hudds fans we have had enough of ![THINK eusa_think.gif](images/smilies//eusa_think.gif)

I know that it encloses quite a few other clubs, but 10k isn't that much. I reckon a bit of success, decent marketing and Wakey will easy get to the 10k mark.

Or maybe it's just your ridiculously defensive attitude that needs adjusting.

In fairness to the kr fans it doesnt look like the match has kicked off at that point (no goal line official visible) so they could have been more there than that.

Your capacity for thought is questionable at best.
Why do some Hull KR fans get so touchy about perceived criticism and resort to responding with criticism of their own?
Petty and stupid...

Still a poor turnout from the 'vast travelling hordes' of Hull KR.
How about the CC 'Free game' where you managed to fit 6,000 in a stand that holds 4,500?

Taking 7000 fans to any away game is excellent. In fact I'd be surprised if any other club had managed to attract 8000 fans to an away game all season.
