Likewise it would appear all your support live and work in a small area. Very parochial. Many Hudds fans live in east Lancs. Many work in places like Manchester (look it up on a map). leaving Manchester at 5.30 will not get you to Hull in 1hr and 20 mins.
i am looking forward to watching the rugby. I hope you enjoy counting the supporters.
FFS, try reading the post before spewing drivel.
At what point did I say EVERYBODY finishes work at 5.30??
At what point are Hotels, Pubs, Clubs, not in the catering industry?
I am well aware of Manchesters location, afterall I manage to drive past it when en route to places like St Helens, Wigan and Warrington. In fact I'll go that way when driving over to Wigan on FRIDAY 12 March.
As for Danrils narrow minded comment. It appears you have the intellect of the character in your avatar. You demonstrate the reason as to why RL will always be classed as a second rate sport by the media. The fact that, despite being located in a central position some fans simply cannot be bothered. This is why football fans in general will pour scorn at RL fans loyalty and passion to our sport. Could you imagine Liverpool not selling out their allocation for the Emerates tonight (Thats in London, LOOK IT UP O A MAP ). Then there are EDIT Mick like you lot who can't be bothered to travel.
RL, the greatest game, followed in general by great fans. Apart from the apathetic ones.
Cut out the insults or you will be having a holiday from the board. Mick

[I did not say you said that in case you have forgotten you wrote: Realistically there are very few (other than in the catering trade and in the emergency services) who work after 5.30pm on a Friday)

[Just because some organisations provide food it does not define their sector as catering. Hospitals have canteens and provide food for patients but it does not mean the NHs is defined as the catering industry ]

[So you should know that it is more than 80 minutes away from Hull. Do you choose to drive through the centre of Manchester when going to Wigan, how strange. Most people would avoid it. People working there cannot]

[Apathy is not so bad. The moronic need to criticise other fans for not traveling to away games is unfortunate. As Hull have 13K home fans and around 2/3K travel to away games can you point us to the thread on the Hull board where you find fault with so many of your own supporters for not travelling? ]

Crikey you talk some guff. Still, as I stated at the outset, you guys have to perpetuate the 'My Dad's bigger than your Dad' routine, don't you.
Please, tell me more about the intellect of my avatar. <snigger>
ATEOTD this is the same as happens every year. The odd pillock casting egregious aspersions, parping on about how he and the millions of his bretheren go x, y and z places. So transparent. Every year the same. You might as well chuck in a few laying on jibes whilst you're at it. Throw in a grapple tackle as well, go for the full house.
If London is Athens, Yorkshire is Sparta, a tougher community and proud of it.

If we take as many or more than we usually take to Hull FC then what is the problem? Last season our away numbers showed a nice increase and I hope the trend continues but anyone who expects them to suddenly be on a par with Hull FC's usual numbers needs to lay off the glue. And ATEOTD I'd rather there were 500 of our fans there to watch us win than 5,000 see us get pumped.

And let's not forget that when Hull came to ours last season, on a Friday night, their still good numbers were noticeably less than they would have brought if it were a Saturday or Sunday.

Hull take very decent numbers for sure but consistently over estimate the numbers they bring, much as they under estimate everyone elses as part of the 'My Dad's biggeer than your Dad' game. It's the same every year.
There were just over 1,500 Bulls fans at the Galpharm last week which whilst not as many as they've brought before is still a decent following IMO. It's nobody elses place to judge numbers or to impose their own ability to attend and thus their own circumstances on to other people. The away support hasn't been the best for a while for a plethora of reasons but it is improving. Still, it wont stop certain people from seeing fit to sit in judgement and talk a load of garbage in the process, will it.
At least the two Hull trips are done in consecutive weeks so we can get a big dose of this kind of crap out of the way early doors.
crap eh,been to ur dull town,or is it ur full of crap

Taking young children to rugby league matches on a cold Friday night when they're very likely not to get home until approaching midnight (11pm my a4se) is not what I would term sensible.
Some people would not take their cars to Hull. How do I know? Well I'm one of them.
ATEOTD I have plenty of arguments, they just don't suit you and your narrow minded views that you require to give it the high and mighty, we're better than you piffle.
snob snob snob snob ,u won't take ur cars because you all drive tin recks,with no insurance and tax

Things are improving. It takes time, but the fan base here in Hudds is growing. There are a lot of younger fans who are really passionate about the team. I'll never argue that a large following is a huge bonus to the status of a team. Both the Hull sides have tremendous support, as do Cas and Wigan always bring large numbers to the pharm. I'll be bleating like mad when our away and in some games home crowds are like Hull's, but for now I am just enjoying the quality of Rugby we are playing and the feeling that we will win some silverware before too long.
