your away support is good i agree with that, but it wasn't always like that.
when the bad times come again will you still have good away support? in the national league your away support was pretty poor,i remember you only bringing 100 or so to huddersfield a few years back, keep it up for the next few years like your city neighbours then you can say you have great away support, remember the bandwagon is still rolling for now

I'm going to sound like a few others here but seriously I dont think we've got 25,000 away fans and a billion home supporters but I was one of the minority that used to go in the dark days when we still outnumbered the likes of Batley, Dewsbury, Rochdale, Oldham...etc often 2-1 if not more. It was nice to go to Leigh (pah what am I saying its never nice to go to Leigh!), Whitehaven and the like to have some competition vocally!!!

Your away support last night was fab, especially given that you've had to travel all that distance on a Friday night. It was also really vocal, which helped create a great atmosphere (I was amazed, Saints fans actually made noise last night too, which is a real shocker) and not once so far as I could see - not once - did any of your fans fight with each other!! (Definite improvement on last year!)

Well it's hardly surprising that in the NL's our support overall was less than it is now. Regardless, even then Rovers away support was rarely matched by teams coming to Craven Park.
The only team then to travel in serious numbers was Widnes, Leigh brought a few when they started doing well and Hudderfield when they got relegated brought a few but nothing startling.
Rovers can claim a great away support because they have, it's as simple as that. Our first season was a struggle to stay up, our next we finished mid table. Hardly results which will have the glory seekers travelling in huge numbers are they? And yet in general our away support is usually hundreds more than the opposing teams bring to Craven Park.

The support last night was incredible for a Friday night game which hardly anyone expected us to win. One of the best atmospheres at an away game I've ever witnessed.

Got to say I was well impressed at your numbers We counted 10 coaches and 1 double decker, had great banter post game too.
Well done, great win for you guys (deserved) have a good season.

That would be because all of us Rovers fans come from the Wilderness
Yes we should be proud of our away support especially when you look at teams such as Bradford. And in my opinion, their away support is complete and utter rubbish!
HULL KR AND LEEDSUNITED
