Always said, it's not to complain about those that have come, it's those that don't bother. I'd hold my hat off to you sir if I had one for coming today, fair play to you and the rest of the loyal supporters.
DANNY LOCKWOOD - LEAGUE WEEKLY (18-5-09)
I'M SURE THERE IS NO CORRELATION BETWEEN THE FACT THAT THE FRONT RUNNERS FOR THE 2009 MEDIA WHINGING AWARD ARE FROM GATESHEAD AND HULL FC, FORMERLY THE B*ST*RD-TWINS OF ONE OF RUGBY LEAGUE'S LOUSIER IDEAS.

Valid point but surely you must have more than 154 die hard supporters, if thats the case then your future looks very bleak indeed, good luck to you though and keep the faith!
It's difficult for a side that doesn't get the greatest home following to tempt people into parting with cash to travel away to watch them get a good tw@tting.
It may have been different if there had been even a minute chance of an upset, but the way my team is playing at the moment even the die-hard fans have had enough. It's not even about losing. It's the clubs inability to make decent progress on the field in the last 10 years...
Things are bad when loyal fans just feel apathetic instead of annoyed. When you love your club and you see it slowly fading away over time when there has been plenty of time to change its fortunes, it's a sad day.

if you read the league express then you'll know why,for anyone who doesn't then some smartass said the reason is both hull clubs travel well is because they are glad of the chance to get out of hull
as for away crowds being low at craven park, then again i think the answer is in league express my friends

True supporters follow there team anywhere at any ground, I have followed Rovers away quite a lot over the last 15 years or so and been to some right tips of grounds as have thousands of others It just really bugs me as I feel the atmosphere in the East Stand degenerates as a result.
if you have followed rovers a lot over the last 15 years then you'll be only too aware of rovers' poor away followingas over that period of time,not everyone follows a truly great and succesful club

I don't see how one week a set of fans (Celtic) can say how much of a good time they had and how welcome they were made to feel and then another week a different set of fans say how horrible it is.
Unless Rovers fans have some irrational hatred of everybody but Celtic that is....
What immortal hand or eye, Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

So the opinions of a few whingers speak for the masses.
Hudds fans should give threads about away support a wide berth seeing as yours is amongst the lowest in SL and shows little sign of getting any better.
