I have a question too. How many of those who attended last Sunday's match at the KC were not season ticket holders and actually put money through the turnstiles? I saw the match on Sky and it sounded empty to me.

Not bad considering London only brought 58 supporters and the game was on Sky. You see, we're not the team who DEPENDS on away support to make up the losses for the last 10 games. Good job Cas were around to save Hudgells and blushes to the rest of his board.



Hang on - Your capacity is a mere 6000 yet you can't get anywhere near it! I'd be more worried about your salary cap next season with attendances like yours.



We don't worry about them, we just think they're hilariously low.

Not been much glory in West Hull in recent years so I'd hardly class myself as a glory hunter, although the phrase is probably relative and compared to Haven we've had 30 glorious years since I attended my 1st game at the Boulevard.

With regards to your comment of 6000 gates, it's pie in the SKY. rovers didn't average much more than 8000 when they were the 2nd best side in the country (no prizes for guessing who were the best ) in the early 80's playing at their traditional home. As has been said by the most biased rovers fan on the planet, 5k is more likely, dependant on a decent number of away fans attending, and a modicum of success. If they're getting hammered every week then I wouldn't expect more than 2500 roversfans to turn up for most games

The area I sit in is populated by season pass holders and there were plenty of empty seats due, presumably, to people being on holiday.

The next time rovers get 8000 and consider it a poor crowd come back and have a word with us

While you lot discuss about about how many we will get, I'll be disusing about the fact can we get there in another thread thank you very much.

The Cas match was very dissapointing regarding the attendance, I believe HKR came up more than £ 30,000 short of what they hoped for, some very carefull and realistic budgetting will be required in the future, the crowds are definatley not reaching some peoples estimates.

The capacity may be far lower at Craven Park then the KC, but for whatever reason any stadium that is only one third full will be devoid of atmophere.

The game against Castleford had a gate of 3000 less than that of Hull v London, with a far more intense atmosphere.

Why do these Hull clowns have such a chips on their shoulders?

If you could have found 5000 empty seats in the stadium that day I'd have been very impressed.

You implying that someones fiddling

I'd hardly call 1000 east hull chavs booing the referee and atmosphere

Just a personal observation

Sorry, my mistake. Obviously an atmosphere is generated by having a crowd dotted around empty seats making absolutely no noise.

In all fairness the atmosphere at Craven Park on sunday was better than that at the KC, however I have also been to CP when the crowd have been silent for 99% of the game. So maybe its best not to compare the best crowd at CP for years with one of the worst at KC.

Can't argue with that. It'll be interesting to see how things pan out though.
