Quote: sergeant pepper "The other big elephant in the room is the lack of away fans. How many times this season have we seen the away stand open? It makes a huge difference to both the attendance and the atmosphere. Sadly we only see that stand open for Wire, Saints and Leeds. Is that really good enough?
We must be the mugs of SL. Produce loads of players other teams pinch, bring a strong away following to most games & promote the game outside of the heartlands.'"
To be fair though, look at the home fixtures we have had this season so far, majority of our fixtures against yorkshire teams have been thursday / friday nights. Getting to a game across the M62 when you finish work at 5 is a pain, and getting to hull is almost impossible i have done it on a thursday before and just sat down in my seat as the ball is flying through the air for kick off. Thankfully i finish early on a friday but a lot don't still.
Yorkshire teams home game thursday / friday
Thursday night
Huddersfield
Castleford
Hull fc
Hull kr
Friday night
Leeds
Hull fc
These have not helped with our home attendences this year either imo.
