You maybe right...however I thought most of the caravan workers were West of the city..
Talking to a friend at work, he took his wife and 2 kids and said he spent about £70 with drinks etc...not cheap that for sure.

You could also say the current economic climate does not affect giro checks
Personally I also think the 'novelty' factor has worn off a bit, and people maybe aren't prepared to pay £17 or whatever it is, to sit in the golf stand and be rained on any more.
I guess improving the ground with more east stand and hopefully a new north stand, might represent better value for money to non-hardcore/fair-weather support. Also Hull FC have a had a decent season, whereas ours has been pretty average so far.

I think you maybe right, it is difficult keeping the newer fans interested so results this season could be a major factor...I genuinely know six 15 years old (my sons friends) who went to Rovers last season, but now go to FC...I asked one of them why they now come and he said, the ground was better and his mates went to fc (which I suspect is the biggest influencing factor).

think maybe if we gave 2000 tickets away each home game like fc do then we may break the 10,000 mark, and prob if we ad a football stadium to play in it mite attract more fans who nos. We mite not ave as many fans but we certainly sing like we do well except for the last few thrashings we ave ad the last few games......

Every fecking week.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
