You obviously never went to that game. If you did you'd hear the announcer say (as he does every game) how many away fans went through North Stand turnstile. If I remember correctly, it was just short of 3,400.
Fkwit.
How many of these '19,000' people no whats going on though?
Well, as all the seats are facing the pitch, I'd say 19,000 of them. How on earth can a Rovers fan who is used to seeing paltry crowds say anything about our crowds?
Face it, you will NEVER EVER see a crowd of even half that at your little dog-hole of a "stadium".

Rovers have a golden opportunity to go up this season with the opposition not looking that much stronger than them, and I hope they do it. If they miss out this season, they wont get up next season with two relatively strong sides coming down. Wakefield / Salford / Leigh / London ?
Staying up? Well that's another story.
I agree with every word.

Quote:Will Harvey Howard be even bothered now?
I think Harvey comes across as a breath of fresh air at Craven Park. he comes across as a motivated man who knows what to do and how to do it, more importantly he knows Rovers limitations, realises that history will not get him promotion, and he looks strong enough to stand up to the hangers on and has beens that have been hindering the club.
Hull FC paying there own way lol Why don't they pay that £2m and still counting debt.
Hull FC are in a bad way financially thats why the players had to wait till new year to get there xmas wages. Maybe they where waiting for all your 20 thousand fans to buy a derby ticket oh no sorry the usual 10 thousand where waiting for there free tickets.

2800 out of a crowd of 19500. Just short of 17k Hull fans will do me. No other team gets home support of that size. The 20k crowds at the leeds v bulls and wigan v saints games inclue many more away fans due to their close proximity

Shame that amount don't turn up at every home game, mind you with the steep rise in ticket prices you'll be lucky to get half that this year.
