So why the pretence that it's something to do with the facilities?

it's weird. You only have to include the word 'away' in a thread title and you're guaranteed to attract Huddersfield fans, yet strangely the word 'away' seems to repel them everywhere else.

Its electricity and hot running water, scares the hell out of them with them not having it in that small backward town

Are you mental?

Did you even bother reading my post? I said we need to improve away facilities.

I WOULD LOVE TO COME UP TO HULL ON FRIDAY FOR THE CELTIC GAME BUT I AM IN WORK TILL 3-o-CLOCK AND I COULD NEVER GET TO HULL IN THAT TIME. I FIND THE PROBLEM WITH AWAY GAMES IS THAT THEY ARE EITHER ON A FRIDAY NIGHT OR ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND I HAVE TO MISS AT LEAST ONE DAY AT WORK TO GO AWAY.

HULL IS ABOUT SIX HOURS FROM BRIDGEND AND IT TAKES ME 2 HOURS TO GET TO BRIDGEND TO EVEN GET ON A COACH FOR AWAY GAMES.

FRIDAYS GAME WOULD SEE ME GETTING OFF THE COACH AT ABOUT 3 TO 4 IN THE MORNING AND THEN TRAVELLING 2 HOURS TO GET HOME.NOT FEASIBLE EVEN THOUGH I WANT TO GO TO AWAY GAMES LIKE YOURS. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY A LOT DON'T TRAVEL AWAY AS EVERY ONE OF OUR GAMES IS A GOOD 4 HOURS MINIMUM.

Well that is the downside to Expansionism , though Widnes may be able to add a few more negatives.

Cheeky git

I have attended HKR away games about 3-4 times, missed the league game in 2006 due to being in Italy but attended the play off game. Have to say I was always warned about coming up to either Hull club ie behavoir of fans, however I only witnessed any bother at FC at the old Boulevard. Not once at CP. As for the view, not great, sorry has to be said, but that loving huge seated stand at the side opposite the main terracing was top draw. Cant remember anything about the price, but great view up there.

I admire anyone who can get to every away game, I myself go to every away game. I love it, I love seeing all our fans pack out the stand and cheer on the mighty Rovers away from home.

Leeds didn't bring many this year, it disgusted me, as last year they filled the north and south stand.

I think with so many people having to tighten their belts away games will be the thing to disappear or be cut down on a lot for a lot of people.

I have been lucky to get to all Saints games this season so far and I think its safe to say the travelling support from Saints and the clubs we have played at home has so far generally been lower than it has been in previous seasons.

I think Hull clubs may feel it more because of the distance for fans to travel (especially from the Lancashire clubs) without it having the same appeal as a weekend in London or Wales, if any game has to be dropped for most I would imagine it would often be a trip to hull.

Those who do travel like you said deserve to be admired but I don't think you can slag off those who don't without knowing the reasons behind them staying at home - I am sure a lot would love to be able to get there.
