I would agree with you but the last 2 seasons it as been on a Sat night in front of SKY & P*ssing it down which put a lot off but not me i love going to the Hull games great atmosphere

Whilst I want to agree with you............. the weather and sky wouldnt stop me travelling. Sorry

Ok, a week on Sunday you have your chance to prove this theory. I expect at least 1,000 Wakey fans. Owt less will be described as poor.

I agree 100% if we beat Wire on Friday i can could see a lot more that went to Wigan for the first match & with it been on a sunday i think you could get a surprise of how many Wakey bring & this will come back to haunt me

Wasnt aimed at you, did notice that you travel and I hope a week on Sunday you bring 2500 with you. I am holding my breath. Expect my lips to turn blue on that one.

Yes me too but i'll be on the floor having a heart attack if we brought that many.
but we are getting a good hardcore of away travelers

I know but she said YOUR South Stand to a Saints fan.

your away support is good i agree with that, but it wasn't always like that.

when the bad times come again will you still have good away support? in the national league your away support was pretty poor,i remember you only bringing 100 or so to huddersfield a few years back, keep it up for the next few years like your city neighbours then you can say you have great away support, remember the bandwagon is still rolling for now

I'm going to sound like a few others here but seriously I dont think we've got 25,000 away fans and a billion home supporters but I was one of the minority that used to go in the dark days when we still outnumbered the likes of Batley, Dewsbury, Rochdale, Oldham...etc often 2-1 if not more. It was nice to go to Leigh (pah what am I saying its never nice to go to Leigh!), Whitehaven and the like to have some competition vocally!!!

Your away support last night was fab, especially given that you've had to travel all that distance on a Friday night. It was also really vocal, which helped create a great atmosphere (I was amazed, Saints fans actually made noise last night too, which is a real shocker) and not once so far as I could see - not once - did any of your fans fight with each other!! (Definite improvement on last year!)

Well it's hardly surprising that in the NL's our support overall was less than it is now. Regardless, even then Rovers away support was rarely matched by teams coming to Craven Park.

The only team then to travel in serious numbers was Widnes, Leigh brought a few when they started doing well and Hudderfield when they got relegated brought a few but nothing startling.

Rovers can claim a great away support because they have, it's as simple as that. Our first season was a struggle to stay up, our next we finished mid table. Hardly results which will have the glory seekers travelling in huge numbers are they? And yet in general our away support is usually hundreds more than the opposing teams bring to Craven Park.

Percentage wise of home attendances , Rovers travelling support has always been high - even in the wilderness years.

The support last night was incredible for a Friday night game which hardly anyone expected us to win. One of the best atmospheres at an away game I've ever witnessed.
