So you've counted them have you?

Er, I don't need to. Your club announces the attendance, although the figure is often at odds with the numbers claimed by some fans.

If you have 9,000 "passionate" fans please tell me why the attendance for the Elimination Play off semi against Wigan was 8,162.

Sorry you appear to have drifted again into the "total" fan number.
I was under the impression you can have more fans than the ones who actually go to a specific game.(a bit like the Hull fans who go to the KC derby but not the next home game)

That is the whole point here

The HKR chairman has publically spoken of their debts and the need to get to 10,000 fans to break even , and if this latest press release is to be proven true then it is quite simply a statement of intent , to get an ave of 14,000 fans they need a stadium with a capacity of at least 14,000 , it shows ambition and we would hope a plan to achieve that ambition

They might not reach that target , but in setting the target they are challenging themselves and their supporters

In 5 years time the target if not reached will probably be re targeted , which is fine , well done to them

Correct , if Rovers were to make a final there would suddenly be 20,000 wearing the shirt , these are the people the club is targetting in suggesting they want 14,000 at each game , that along with good quality accomodation for away fans will result in the target being reached

The club have never mentioned 14000 this figure was brought up by a troll at the start of the thread.
As far as I am aware the club have targetted an average of 10000

Maybe but at Least it has got people thinking

Believe the original plan was for a 14000 capacity stadium, not aware a 14000 average crowd was mentioned.

If i was an fc fan (God forbid, may i go to hell for even saying such a thing) but yes i would have been there and would have hated it BUT i'd have still have turned up the following year in far better weather or 'any kind of weather' even with the same crap view, paid my money and watched my team!
I stood at leeds in torrential rain blowing in my face last year for over an hour before the game started, soaking wet, I couldnt see the far end try line but was there anyway but guess what, i went back again for the playoff when we was on a hiding to nothing! Obviously your lot didnt bother!
We'll look after our supporters first by building the east stand extension, then think about your lot later!

That just about sums Hull KR upto a tee. Maybe if the idiot who allowed the stadium to be designed like it was in the first place had remembered their job was to cater for away fans as well, maybe your ground which is only 20 years old wouldn't be boycotted my most away fans
