I thought about 7,500 to 8,000, on top there were the fans i the bars to add, so think it was about right at 8,600.

Ha! Yes, slightly overestimated your recruitment there!

Good hard game on a pitch that did,nt suit either team. Why dose,nt the season start at least a month later, i,m sure the weather and pitch conditions are better in late november than mid february. As ever, a pleasant visit to belle vue.

Stood at other end of ground and i could tell we knocked it out, he is clueless and the linesman must have been asleep.

We had everything going for us in the second half; Dobson off the field, Murrell a passenger on the wing, a man up for 10 minutes and enough possession to win 2 games, but we just couldn't convert the pressure in to points. It was very frustrating at times! Credit to HKR for their defence but I feel we could and should have come away with 2 points today.

frankies drop was the game changer i'm afraid but we are within touching distance of being very very good imo. More games will make a big difference so bring on bradford.

Was there some kind of fracas in the away end? Noticed a bit of a kerfuffle then a load of stewards arriving on the scene.

I think this is a very fair summary of a game we should have won! against the run of play maybe but Rovers were there for the taking.
I also feel that Wood should play from the start, he has attacking flair that was lacking prior to him coming on. Raleigh MOM for me!

Someone dropped a quid apparently

Would never have happened if I'd been there - when I drop a quid, it hits me on the back of the head on the way down.

As others have said, we competed well against a team with a much bigger set of forwards in conditions which didn't really suit our tactics of trying to throw the ball around to avoid getting bullied up the middle.

I think Collis looks a great centre and fox should score quite a few tries playing outside of him when conditions improve.

I think Tim Smith's vision caused them problems and created some opportunities for us that we couldn't finish off due to wrong decisions on our part and some great defence shown by KR.

The forwards all put in a good shift and Aiton looks set for a big season especially on firmer grounds where his ability to get out of dummy half quickly will catch alot teams out and give us a good attacking platform.

As has been said already we are effectively a new squad so whilst I am disappointed we lost, I am happy to accept the effort shown by the players and believe they are showing positive signs that as the season progresses and they get used to playing together we will continue to improve.

Finally, whilst we did not manage to convert some of the chances we had, IMO there was still a great deal more attacking idea shown in what were trying conditions, then we ever saw last season.

When Agar was in charge of Fc this happened alot loads of pressure on the opponents line but then they either looked clueless or kept taking the wrong option and didnt score. Then the opposition would have less chances but seemed to be more clinical.

Kr where there for the taking and the cats blew it.

Happened in front of me, and unfortunately started by a Wakey fan, who cracked someone when Hull KR scored their third try. KR fans were angry by it, lots of shouting and finger pointing, and the Wakey fan decided to have another go.

To be fair to the KR fans, it didn't spread beyond the small group involved, and I thought those immediately involved showed some restraint and tried to involve the stewards first.

Don't know what provoked the Wakey fan, but as it was as KR went over, I presume it was having the nerve to celebrate.

Pretty unsavoury.

I thought we were pretty evenly matched for most of the game, think our defence was key at the end of the day, our lad's worked very hard. Hick's just isn't up to the job in my opinion, made some very strange decisions today.

Think you have the makings of a good team there, I'm sure a few will underestimate you, best of luck for the rest of the season!
