Au contraire. Hull FC's attendances are up this season, with record season ticket sales despite two poor seasons. I regard that as being faithful. I believe Rovers' average is down by around 400 a game.
As has been stated ALL clubs have fans who will leave early if their team are being soundly beaten including Hull KR. Clearly it is easy to see at an all seater stadium than at small grounds like Craven Park or Knowesly Road.
