Thanks for all the kind words folks,i was hugely proud(as ever) to be a HKR fan during and after that,the Wigan team had just finished top of the league and deserved the ovation.
Majority of RL fans think the team that finishes top should be champions.
Good luck in the play offs and thanks again !

I have to admit that I've not been to hull kr for a few years mainly due to what I've heard from other fans about how you feel threatened and always looking over your shoulder, however I decided that this time I would go and sample it for myself. What can I say, the fans of hull kr are the friendliest (and compassionate) fans that I've come across, at no point did I feel threatened, intimidated or uneasy either before,during or after the game. It was a great day, yes the result helped but the rovers fans added to the occasion. All I can say is that if anyone has been keeping away from craven park for whatever reason, get down there next season and you will be made more than welcome and will have a great day to boot ( not sure about the view behind the sticks though). The hull kr fans are a credit to the game,to the city of hull and themselves.
I salute and applaud you and I for one will definitely return next season

No.

He is a class act no doubt. Was it three tries and twelve goals?
The majority of that side Hampshire included are first year U18's ( i.e. U17's)

Burgess who was at centre is probably Pat Richards replacement. Hampshire and Williams are two exciting halfbacks and then there's the likes of Rob Lever and Ryan Sutton in the pack.

The frightening thing is that this years U16's have been unbeaten for two years so many of those will graduate to the academy U18's/U19's next year.

Back on topic we walked off with two HKR fans (who had Geordie accents!!!) and they were excellent sports, a credit to your club.

Good luck, see you all next season. Fairbairns pub is superb.

I was also In the 'well' with my 7yr old, first time to HKR and like a previous poster was a little unsure having heard much about 'Hull fans'. How wrong could I be, had great banter with the HKR speccies, who even tried to cheer us both up everytime they scored, with tales of a regular 2nd half collapse !! My lad was on first name terms with most of the security guards who could not have treated the young lad better, Top Marks to the security guys by the tunnel btw.. the rugby in the first half really was that bad !!!
The sun shone, a good drive ... a quiet sunday afternoon, tremendous result and a trip well worth making...will be even better when you get the new stand built.

A great advert for Rugby League ... thanks to the HKR fans for making it a memorable day.

Below is a link to some photos from the game on Sunday... hope you enjoy some of them!!! www.facebook.com/media/set/?set= ... 95f13aa41d This folder is open to the public so anyone can see them.. ps.. The applause at the end was the least we could do to show respect to the team that had just won the league.. and credit should be given too the Wigan players for acknowledging the applause being afforded to them... Hope to see you all again next year... congrats on the league..

You can understand the excitement coming from ms3new,new craven park as its the first time they have been involved in a game were a major trophy/sheild was been contested in years n years

48 - 10...56 - 12, We enjoy your games against them as well.

Does anyone know if there is footage of the 18's game from HKR. I just want to see a re-run of the try scored from 1st play at the tap 20m. Speed of thought from the tap, noticed the defence were slow in lining up, kicked down field sprinted after it, re-gathered and crossed the line.....

It's great to read this about HKR fans and a credit to the club!!

After encountering some idiot Leeds fans in Huddersfield after the CC semi, this is just what i needed to read to put my faith back in our sport.

Good thread showing respect for both clubs fans and players and then guess what,legends and icons a typical fc fan comes on ,tries to clever and gets it wrong.Get back to your own site and the the rest of the thickheads and read how your signing finch,marshall,galloway,crabtree,slater,lyon etc,need I go on.!

The KR fans were great with us a few ago too. Despite losing to a last second drop goal.

Great set of supporters
