FCs crowds for their 2 home games so far are 18% (over 5,000) down on last season
Shouldn't you be more worried about that chimp?

Maybe 8,600 is your peak? Maybe there isn't any more than that amount willing to support the team. No fault of Rovers if the fans just don't exist, the club seem to have done everything to draw fans in but perhaps they just aren't out there. 8,600 is decent for a club of Hull KR's size :clap:.

Now there is a surprise.
What did you expect? You start a thread about a disappointing crowd @ Rovers - Within minutes the obsessed FC fans will be all over it and the bickering starts

Its no secret that we need improved facilities, I think a 10k average is achievable once we have the extended east and new north stand facilities.

I started it more as a question /general observation really. It was never intended to be a dig at the club. I'm not a Hull KR supporter and I don't live anywhere near to Hull. Similarly I'm not a Hull FC supporter either. I was genuinely surprised to see the attendance for the game as I thought it would sell out given all the media hype thats followed Willie Mason over the years plus the 'Willie or Won't he ever arrive in Hull' posts over on the VT.
Surely the Hull FC supporters have enough problems of their own without pitching in with petty arguments about this topic though.

The East sold out and people seem reluctant to pay £18 to sit in the North or anything at all to stand in the south, It was a good crowd today.
You would think so, apparently not.
