Quote: eddieH "You have improved your away support over the years it takes time.The supporters who go away now are the same bunch as at every club you are no different.
Try letting kids in free to all home games for a year and send players round to the junior schools, It works as perents will not let young kids go on there own and go giving you money. The players round to the junior schools works the mither factor. Build up home support and away will come.'"


We already do unless you're on a wind up???

We've had the free tickets/season tickets for quite a while. The very first year these were free for ALL games home and away but the other clubs didn't like it so we had to charge if you wanted the away ticket element of the season ticket. It's scandalous how much some clubs charge for kids. £11 at Odsal the other week was a prime example. Ok to have the away element in a kids season ticket was £50 but due to a fair few clubs now playing on friday nights and you have to consider Sky too, many families don't see the benefit of the away element till they realise other clubs, who do play on a family better sunday, are greedy when it comes to kids!!

I'm not saying this is an excuse though!

You've had 2 challenge cup final appearances and finished in the playoffs twice in the past 4 years. You're not doing bad so far this year too. You're in a great central location when it comes to travelling to away games so why do so few of you make the effort to back your team on the road? Serious question and not a dig.

When you live in such beautiful surroundings it's difficult to leave for the slums of the West or the industrialised areas of the East.

God knows !! majority of us on here do go to Away games, better ask the people who dont what their reasons are - i personally think a lot of people cant actually be bothered, yes there's people who would go if they could but a lot just aren't interested

1) Who cares. You don't get points for having good away support.

2) If I lived in Hull I would leave at every opportunity so not really surprised if you do bring loads.

Nah.

We'd still be above Quins, Catalans, Salford, Crusaders and maybe even Castleford at present.

Going back to the actual subject of the thread..I would love to go to all the away games however I simply cannot afford. You are looking at £20 average for each game and then the petrol/parking or coach fare etc to get there. It all mounts up and when you don't have the spare money you simply cannot do it. It isn't always a case of 'people can't be bothered to go'. Perhaps if you add all the away games into the season ticket and subsidise the travel then the away crowds will increase....Otherwise I dont see it changing a great deal. People have (dare I say it) more important things to spend their money on like a mortgage and bills and you will never get away from that, especially with a huge proportion of our support being families.

1 Who cares (again)

2 I have never lived in Hull but I have been there and would certainly never live there. I also note that Hull is consistently voted as one of the worst(if not the worst) places to live in the UK [for example in the Channel 4 survey]. So, much as you like Hull, many people who have experience of living there clearly don't.

Just explain how you've come to that conclusion again please. icon_confused.gif

As for the channel 4 "survey" its got so many holes in it I can only assume they got the 15 year old work experience kid to do the research.

Hull has its crappy areas like all cities but I'd still rather live here than some of the other places I have lived in.

As for your statement about nobody caring about away support, perhaps your directing that at the wrong person. This 4 page long thread was started by a Huddersfield fan to discuss Huddersfields away support so clearly people do care, including your own fans.
