I went to the Derby last year because I was fortunate enough to get a seat in the RM stand and I will be going next week because my mate (rovers fan
) has kindly bought me a ticket for the North Stand. I will not however watch a game from the South stand ever again. I have watched 2 derbies (pre sl) from there and decided it was a complete waste of time because of the facility etc. This was before the unnecessary price hike Rovers have passed on to the Hull fans.
All I will say is that I am not the only Hull fan with this opinion and judging by the lack of South Stand sellouts in Super League I assume many Rovers fans are sympathetic with this view.
I understand if its genuinely because you don't like the facilities, I just wonder how many of the other excuses will be overlooked this year because you are doing well and will be favourites for a win. To me (and a few of my FC mates
) its about supporting your team no matter what and I can assure you, if I were not a season ticket holder and the only space I could get was the South stand, I would definately go, In fact I used to regularly stand at the scoreboard end of the old CP, which was the same sort of distance away from the action.
I didn't go to Headingley, because I cannot logistically get to Friday night away games because of work commitments, the rain, sleet, snow or any other reason would not prevent me from doing so.

Okay it wouldn't happen (and shouldn't) but the atmosphere in those CP games during Hull's promotion season was out of this world.
