The truth is, I would say Rovers took between 2000 - 3000 to Odsal, not that it really matters, some teams travel better than others. I think the Bradford Chairman had it about right at 2500.
As much as Rovers fans exaggerate the figures to be more positive, the same could be said about some of the 'incidents' at away games that are reported on these forums.
The incident at Odsal first broke on the forums as "Rovers fans have smashed up a bar at the ground and a number of those involved were removed from the ground".
Turns out the truth was, and still out of order, that when the staff attempted to close the bar someone threw a plastic pint pot and a plastic bottle and sounded off some abuse.
To suggest that Rovers have a 250 strong mob intent on causing trouble at games is way off the mark. Here's the boring bit but every club has idiots, the bigger away following then I guess it is reasonable to think more 'idiots' will attach themselves to the support, but 250?

I'M SURE THERE IS NO CORRELATION BETWEEN THE FACT THAT THE FRONT RUNNERS FOR THE 2009 MEDIA WHINGING AWARD ARE FROM GATESHEAD AND HULL FC, FORMERLY THE B*ST*RD-TWINS OF ONE OF RUGBY LEAGUE'S LOUSIER IDEAS.

maybe that newspaper report from the time is wrong then ??
How is the Huddersfield crowd that day worked out? Tickets actually sold by the club? People in Huddersfield colours? People who travelled from Huddersfield? A count of the people who cheered the first try?
