I will ever understand the RFL, why put an international game on at this place and get a crowd of 5 thousand, what an embarrassment . They must of lost money on it .

I would have probably gone if it wasn't on a Friday night. Takes me about an hour to get there from where I am and a bus change and I don't want to be doing that at ten at night at that place. Not exactly the most accessible or nicest part of the city and families wouldn't want to go on a Friday night. That was the main problem, when they put it on, not necessarily the stadium choice.

Although having said that if they had had it at our place they would surely have got at least 15,000, might have looked less full but would have been a much more respectable crowd. Again, that comes down to location.

Say you were in charge of the rfl for a minute ... What venue would you suggest ?






Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's down in the dark will be brought to the light

@TheGameCaller Hull Kingston Rovers should never hold an International after tonight. The games image & reputation undermined by such a meagre turnout.

Should have played the game in Scotland, even getting say 2k 'new' fans up there would have been better in the long run than 5k in East Hull.

Absolutely barmy that they are choosing to stage games at hard to reach grounds like Craven Park and Workington, particularly on Friday nights

Absolutely no chance of 15,000 for Scotland v Australia at the KCOM. More like 7-8,000.

In 2006 there was an England v Samoa Federation Cup game at the KC (the England team being a GB reserve side) and the attendance was 5,698.

I went last night, and to be honest it was a pretty miserable experience.
I thought there was going to be a sell out crowd judging by the amount of traffic. It was chaotic.
They just don't have the infrastructure to cope with it .
We got in ten minutes late and left ten minutes early. Had enough of kids just running round the North Stand all match, without a trace of stewarding.
Then had to dodge the kids on mopeds as we went back to the car.
The only atmosphere was Dobbins fans barracking Walker. Embarrassing.
May as well if played it in Scotland and spread the game more.

The venue was fine . There was never going to be a big crowd for that game .
It had to be played at a smaller venue .

Although a decent stadium, it's possible in the worst located stadium in the country, in an awful area, with absolutely nothing near by to eat and drink, hard to get too by public transport and poor parking.
