That really is a pathetic attitude.
You wanna support a sporting team, show encouragement and generally try and improve thier perfomance, you sing. Its also something form a personal perspective that enhances my experience.
Old Faithful has completely gone at home. That simply has to be wrong and something we could do to try and rectify.
only way I can see it happening though is ripping out the seating. Hence the point of the OP methinks.

Roy Keane and his prawn sadwich jibe comes to mind. At least Man U and Old Trafford have took action to improve the atmos. And that's without giving away a flag

That has never happened at a Hull FC home game at any point in history. FACT.

Manchester United DO NOT train on the Old Trafford pitch. Because of drainage, ventilation problems and lack of natural sunlight, they avoid the unneccasary wear and tear on their playing surface. Otherwise the pitch would need relaying every month during the winter.
HTH'"
Rubbish, so Man U do not train on OT? What about the open sessions they have than can attract over 4000? Or the behind closed doors sessions and games??
Next You'll be saying that the reserves have never played at OT and the record attendance for a reserve game of 40k (I think it was) never happened! BTW that was Cantona's return after his little incident with a cockney.

According to a post on their official forum, they train at the Carrington complex a few miles from OT.
Maybe they just hold special sessions at OT for the media.

Must be the same for City because on look north the other night the team were clearly holding some kind of training session at an empty KC.
The atmosphere at the KC is good when we get a decent crowd. I do worry though if they expand the stadium. It will look a bit empty. At least the seats are black and for night gmes it shouldnt be too bad. I worry even more though for City if they expand and then eventually get relegated. That really would be a poor show imo. Its ofetn been the case that the atmosphere has been poor. Even super city fan Burnsie has commented on it.
Grounds need standing areas. All seaters are rubbish grounds if you are talking atmosphere alone.

Could you imagine the problems Justine would of had at the KC derby if we had been louder? I think that backs up if the ground was full it creates an awesom atmosphere just look at the donny semi aswell

| Quote ="Raggytash"You think that Leeds playing at Headingly is damaging their fanbase or on the field success? Has Huddersfield had unbelievable crowd growth and on field success since moving to Galpharm? Has international RL improved since the inclusion of Quins/Sheffield/Gateshead?
Hull's record attendance was set in 1936. 28798 were at the Boulevard. Why don't we get that many at the KC? Safety restrictions? Because of small minded people that don't like all seater stadiums?'"
i think headingly is certainly holding leeds back. given the citys population their crowds are poor.
huddersfield with zero real success on the field have grown their crowds every year.
of course if you think halving your average crowds is progress, good luck to you

What an absolute nonsense! Chelseas crowds are poor in comparison to the population and they have a sy ground. And how is Headingly holding Leeds back? They are solvent and are the current World Champions.

Poor in comparison to the population of where, exactly?

If they had a better ground, they'd be Masters of the Universe.

and the thing is the KC is probably one of the best grounds in the world which a RL clubs plays at.
ive been to suncorp stadium and thats brilliant. most of the sydeny grounds are average, and the Kc is probably the best in SL, or at least on par with wigan and hudds.
and with a poor team the crowds are 13,000 - 14,000.

No I wasn't actually, I was showing that having a nice all seater stadium and success doesn't guarantee packed attendances. That was the point.

Don't see why I need to explain myself to a jumped up keyboard warrior like you but my cousin lives in Kensington and I have seen Chelsea v Wimbledon at Stamford Bridge. You may claim to be well traveled but it certainly doesn't give any credibility to your arguments.

All your arguments and points are worthless due to the simple fact you still do not know the name of our spiritual home. For your info it is spelt BOULEVARD
