I'm not sure where you're going with this. I appreciate Hull KR have increased average attendances in the last three seasons, that's not new information and it has to be a good thing. But you're keen to disregard the longer term perspective whilst comparing it adversely to FC's. What was your average in 2010 vs 2015?
We know you had 8000 members in 2009 because it was posted on your club's website. This year it's, what, 5000? You may be satisfied with tiny year on year increases but the trajectory depends on your starting point and maybe you're being selective in an Andy Bell Sunday anorak way. The reality is many clubs are struggling for attendances. If Hull KR are comfortable that 6500 against a Top 4 opponent is where you need to be to support the full cap squad you have then that's excellent news for you. Think we're less so this side, but the consequence of previous regimes which we're working hard to address through recruitment and participating in the U23s.

It's encouraging that you and your friends got your mojo back on Thursday after an extended absence coinciding with some rather obvious manifestations of your own club's inadequacies. "Heroes with cowards' legs" is how I think Spike Milligan would describe you.

Rovers' average in 2010 was 8234, last year it was 8025. Interesting that in 2010, though they had eight attendances over 8000 compared to just two last season.

Good on them on increasing their average from 2013 to 2015 by 7%, although 2013 was 10% down on 2010, of course.

I should also point out that in 2013 which was a nadir, they only had one attendance lower than they got on Friday night against St Helens.

You are much better at this than Mrs B.
I am surprised how much she got wrong in her post.

Accept it Keith, you'll always be the "small" club in this city.

Mrs B taught me all I know.

BTW in retrospect I guess Neil Hudgell should've given another 3,000 tickets away. Not only would you have avoided having one of your lowest half dozen or so Super League attendances [happy 10th season anniversary] but it would also, of course, boosted your end of season average by a couple of hundred.

You can never say always. Mr Pearsons pre season panic about stay away fans killing the club just might be an insight into his financial pressures. A quick search on Duedil shows that he does not own any other large companies of note that can help to fund the clubs loses. I wonder just how deep his pockets are? It wasn't that long ago the FC were take over by Kath Hetheringtons Gateshead.

I thought all this attendance crap was left to William eve on the VT at the end of the day we had a low attendance on Friday which was always going to happen because 1. The way we've been playing 2. It was on sky 3. City were also playing at the end of the day Hull are always going to have an average of 2/3000 more fans than Rovers always have always will its just the way it is

Thanks Frankie. If you could just educate Keith, it would save a lot of time on here.

Selective memory again I see

Another thread was started by someone having a ticket to sell a couple of days before the game.

YOU said`good luck with that as they are selling tickets for £2.50'

It was pointed out that you are wrong again as that time had passed.

You then went quiet (for once)

Widnes dominating Huddersfield at half time and well worth their 22-6 lead apparently, so we'll stay in 5th. Brough going to Leeds?
