It would be possible to weight the relative value of travelling fans so that geographically distant clubs aren't penalised unduly. Or, "expansion" clubs could automatically be awarded the point if the RFL so desired. The important thing here is that the majority of clubs would have a real reason for encouraging more fans to travel.

I don't really expect to see a thousand Catalans fans at Craven Park any time soon, but we should be getting hundreds more from Salford, Huddersfield, Wakey and the like.

Should we? The clubs you mention have fairly small home gates anyway.

Maybe there should be a licence point for offering good facilities to away fans, such as covered seating and realistic prices. I don't think we should get a tick for good travelling support when we offer little or no incentive to encourage other club's fans to come to us.

I take your point, but that does not explain why Hull also receive poor away followings. There's no such excuse for facilities at the KC is there?

Exactly, its nothing to do with facilities, those teams simply do not travel in numbers like ourselves from Hull.

And its not exactly a place to come and spend a weekend with family if truth be told.

2 of the 3 clubs you mention brought more than Leeds last season!

So Leeds are one of "the like".

do you mean 1400 rovers have never had anywhere near that and never will

Yes ok then we hope to average 1400

Gods honest truth, you really are a pleb

Do they offer us the incentive to travel to them though? Bradford, Wakefield and Leeds offer the away fans anymore than we do?

Well supported teams fans will travel where they need to in order to support their team, blaming the stadium for not going to a game is a PATHETIC excuse IMO. Would you not go and watch East Hull v West Hull at Rosemead because you didn’t want to get your shoes muddy on the touchline or because you couldn’t get a decent cuppa at half time?
