In that context an extra 1,000 bums on seats on Sunday wouldn't be particularly impressive with the debut of your biggest ever signing.
I take you point regarding the following home game though.
How sad it must be to know the past attendances at other teams games Get a life
Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?

But their obsessions with our attendance's are sad. It wouldn't bother me if we played in front of 1000 or 10,000. I go to games to watch the match, not to look at the crowd.

On that I agree. But I will say that looking long term we need to be self sufficient.
If you only knew the POWER of the dark side.

Keep your hair on.
It's hardly an obsession, I was just making an observation on the relative popularity in East Hull of Olly Murs and Willie Mason.

While I can see an extra 1000 rugby "virgins" pulling on their stretched leggings in East Hull to watch Olly after a Saturday night in front of the X-Factor with crisps and chocolate, I'm not so sure Willie will have the same pull for those popular culture vultures.

I beg the question "how long does it take to recieve a Tongan passport" being that its over four months since he had a few beers with the Tongan prime minister to aid it being "fast tracked" ?
In the world you live in, January to March = 4 months?
Perhaps basic maths isn't your strongest suit.

Well, seeing as we all know what the coffee ladies thoughts are about our marquee signing, i thought i'd pop over and see what she had to say about their own marquee signing. I found 3 threads dedicated to the new fullback. "Phelps in for turner" 6 pages, no comments from the coffee lady... "Fullback" 1 page, no comments from the coffee lady.... Now this is where it get interesting.... "Cameron Phelps"....20 pages, although it only took 11 posts before Willie Mason was mentioned..and as of page 16 turned into a fully fledged rovers forum. That aside the coffee lady has indeed posted comments on their marquee signing thread... here they "all" are with some comments she responded to......

Yeah indeed, infact it couldn't be the fact that he's been so poor in the first three games that he's been dropped could it
