1. Its a Derby game...anything can happen. Even if the players don't want to play for Agar they will play for the pride in their shirt and derby loyalities on Saturday...a very dangerous prospect (for KR) I think.
2. Winning against all the odds is the sweetest victory.
3. We waited 10+ years to have a meaningful derby game back... don't get complacent with the priveledge.
4. True supporters are there in the darker days win/lose, rain/shine.
5. Its embarassing that you haven't even sold out your allocation. Lets show the RL world it IS the biggest derby game by having another sell out.
6. If you win you still have a good chance of getting into the playoffs.

Take it you aint seen much of Hull in the derbies then? hey aint done that in previous derbies and I can't see that changing on performance this season
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

So Don't you think it strange that a club that takes a 3000 plus travelling support two weeks ago to Cas, can't get 1600 to cross the river???
Point 1 rubbish in the curent climate at our club
Point 3 typical arrogence! In fact unbelievable arrogance!!!
Point 4 is rich coming from a club that four years ago was getting 2000 supporters there!
Point 5 how can it be the biggest Derby when you can only get 10,000 people in!
Perhaps if your club did not hike the prices for this discusting area once a year for this game, and perhaps if you could see from there in the first place more folks would go. This is not just about the way we are playing but fans are voting with their feet because they have had enough of the basic facilities and poor viewing from the South end and prefare to watch on the TV!!!

Rovers fans have to try and understand a large majority of F.C. fans will not go because the ground is sh!te!! I'm sure if we can take 3000 to Cas (when we are playing crap) IF the facilities were any good and you could see the game, we would easily sell our allocation for a game just across the river, even with present form. Saying that I will be there!!

I personally think the big turn out at cas was due to the positive spin created after the performance shown in the Leeds game, only had to look on here to see a lot thought a corner has been turned, a number of new signings announced and (in comparison to the rest of the season) a feel good factor had been introduced.
The south stand 'facilities' are really poor, I'll give you that (personally wouldn't pay more than £10 myself and embarrassed we charge more) but I'm pretty sure you've sold it out anyway so the only tickets available (if theres any left) are for the north stand and thats not bad in there, it's seated, you get a good view and its only the same price as I paid to stand in the rain at Leeds.
Bottom line is a lot wont go this year because on the back of the cas and celtic performances (and maybe ours at Leeds) they think it'll be a stuffing, but as I said on our board if we think like that we may get caught cold. If you were top of the league the tickets would have gone in a flash.
