because away fans feel that facilities for them are poor and wont pay £20 for such sub standard facilities its not rocket science really guys

the away end at odsal is just as bad as the south stand at Craven park
there is no away end at odsal,most supporters choose to stand behind the posts which is miles away from the pitch,huddersfield fans tend to congregate along the side which is not brilliant but is a massive improvement
Quote:balls, we manage to generate atmosphere where ever we go, just excuses IMO
it's far easier to create an atmosphere in a modern covered stadium than on a piece of hard plastic in the open humberside air. HTH
Quote:So what do people suggest we do about it?
improve facilities to encourage more people to fork out £20 for the pleasure of visiting craven park,it might work??
i have travelled far and wide over the years and been to many grounds that have had no cover but we still managed to generate an atmosphere, the old Boulevard and Featherstones ground been prime examples, both had open ends were the KR fans stood in the past but the atmosphere was always excellent. i have had many a soaking at those grounds and others besides, plus been frozen to the bone during the the old days of winter rugby, but it never detered myself or the the other thousands of rovers and, dare i say Hull fc fans, from travelling and supporting their teams
