This silly stuff about Hull KR taking the most fans everywhere has to stop, ok their fans are really good and make lots of noise but they do not take the most everywhere.
We take the most to Catalans, Harlequins, Wire and Saints.
In previous season we have taken more than 5000 to both Leeds and Bradford.
Leeds support around Yorkshire is pretty good as well.
They need to get their home support sorted first before they can even begin to start thinking about trying to gloat about having the best away support, they are not even over 10,000 average, and yeh they might blame it on away support, but we dont get any either appart from wire and saints and maybe if they got some good facilities, more people would go.

I think the thing people don't like about this "traveling KR fans" topic is this.
They are Hull KR fans.
And they are traveling.
To where other people live.
Now, thats a problem, and let me tell you why.
Evolution.
See, a few million years ago primitive man started to travel. He wanted more than what he saw around him and so he got his leopard skin digs, grabbed his brontosaurus bone, got his sabretooth cat and his b*tch (In that order mind you!) and started a very long walk.
He walked for days. He walked for weeks. Hell, he walked for years.
He liked walking you see.
Anyway one day he settled down in a nice little place, smelled like fish, but at the time he put that down to his missus.
Time rolled on, and the rest of the human population evolved. This were invented, man moved forward and become a thinking beast.
However, deep in East Hull, primitive man had no idea about the changes going on around him.
Then, he discovered crack.
Now, I don't want to start running down any particular supporter base in the game, but Hull KR are violent, stupid, un-evolved, cave dwelling, criminal crack heads.
So when they get that itch to start traveling again.....of course people start to get a bit upset.
At the end of the day, its just a fact of life.
Death, taxes, a KR fan stole my car and shat on the back seat.

And you appear to aim your posts at people, there is no need. Then again you are a rovers fan
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS

Ok most recent season, we finished 4th in regular season and got the the final eliminator finishing 3rd overall.
Was pretty much the same the year before that actually.
Dont think we played rovers either year in the play-offs though.

I've just found a few errors in the usually immaculate Rothmans, it claims Hull KR's average attendances in 1994/95, 1995/96 and 1996 were 1,900, 1,638 and 1,699 respectively. I can only imagine they missed a nought off the back of each one. How can a publication noted for accuracy get away with that?
