Very fair and balanced point mate.

Hull had fairly good seasons (IIRC) from 2000-2002, but the jump from 5000-6000 to 10,000 came with the KC move.

Without doubt if Rovers moved more to the Holderness Road heartland it would add more support (believe it or not there's still people out there who won't go to the current CP), or even just a new South Stand close to the pitch would probably help (+ there's the second East Stand extension still to be done).

We're averaging a similar number to what we were in the early 80's at the antiquated Boulevard. Crowds in SL are up across the board compared to 10 years ago so I don't think the KC is the major factor. The dobbins are enjoying their best year in a generation. I doubt there are many of their fans who aren't attending games right now

You sure their average attendance has increased?

Code for average attendances being lower year on year (2008: 8,554, 2009: 8,527). South stand empty and North Stand less than half full at the weekend for a game against the CC winners on a sunny evening when you're sat in 3rd. No wonder extension plans aren't being rushed through.

At least we have an excuse for falling gates in that we're rubbish on the pitch. What's yours?

P.S. Just thought of another - we don't get HDM to fill our ground. :try a landfill site to fill your ground

Thing is Roofs...our fans won't go away.......... or bust.....We are Hull mate... least I Know I am.....

LMFAO.

No matter how many years you finish above us, we'll always be the bigger club.

Won't doubt that - Hull have some of the most loyal and passionate fans in the game. But, like us, they have gained a lot of new fans over the last few years, so the 12,000 haven't always been there (same as our 8000 haven't obviously).

Though I don't doubt the majority of Hull fans will stand by the club, it's amazing how much attempted offloading of seats for tommorow has been going on on here.
