I remember a few years ago travelling over to Knowsley Road for a night match and having our bus window put through by some lovely young men stood on a corner waiting for us to pass. Fortunately nobody was injured but we were all quite shaken up and had a long delay before we could get home. EVERY team has a minority of idiots who follow them, but the majority of us go for a good night to watch our team play rugby.

I'm not disputing this, it's just it's more than a minority with KR.
I got a post card from T! She’s living on the streets of Seattle and she referred to herself as a ‘gutter punk’!

I think both Hull teams bring a huge number of fans to Knowsley Road given that they live bloody miles away and usually the games are on a Friday night so not the best time to be travelling. I just wish you guys would be more modest about it! You may not have the pi$$ taken out of you quite so often if you were!
(And I disagree that we should thank you for your numbers, but we do appreciate them, not least because they help create a good atmosphere. I would hope you guys turn out because you love your team, not so we can all worship you for it!)
Fair post.

I don't think anyone has ever disputed that Hull KR have a large travelling fanbase but the way some on here blow it up you would think they were single handily selling out every ground they visit - which is why people take the piss!
