| Quote Angelic Cynic="Angelic Cynic"Ah,the rugby league family.
A group of supporters of a club that has been in existence since time began and spent all of those years getting all of that money from Super League/Television looking down on supporters of 2 clubs who have had a difficult few years and a peripatetic existence.
You managed to score 48 points and keep Oldham to nil,and win by 40 points yesterday.Every reason why loyal supporters from Oldham and Sheffield should have been happy to be in attendance then.
The lack of support for clubs in Hull has been noticed.The RFL was forced to give your good neighbours Gateshead Thunder lock,stock and barrel to help raise their support and keep that club going.
You of course managed to resist a merger.Sheffield Eagles,after winning the Challenge Cup,did not.
The council of Sheffield do not assist as much as the council of Hull does.
The impossible takes time and miracles a little longer. Both may be attempted once a home stadium is positioned in the Sheffield community.
Had fate determined that you had drawn against Siddal,then the distribution of the monies for a Challenge Cup game would be exactly the same as they are.
Had the RFL determined that following crowd disorder you had to play outside of the city for a year,I would suggest that you may have lost a few from the number of your supporters.
Had you had to play at a number of different stadia over a number of years you may have lost more.
It is a wonderful feeling to know that some rugby league supporters can attend every game and Hull KR sell-out each and every home game and take thousands to every away game.Oh,they don't? But they're missing Ben Cockayne! What a failing club not 'enticing' members of the public to attend a rugby league game.
I won't be asking you lot what should be done,then...'"
Rovers, like yourselves, want to get maximum amount of revenue from this game. After yesterdays match with such a one sided score line it would be wise to have a lower price to entice more supporters through the gate. Holding out for a higher ticket price will come back and bite Sheffield on the harris. Remember the split is after the expense of putting the match on. If very few supporters turn up then the split could be very small indeed. | | |

To be fair Stan it is pretty impressive and you should be proud of it, but made me laugh when you said you didn't want to be like us going on about massive support, all through out the off season and every week There is a game, Rovers social media is talking about crowds etc all the time, I've even seen a few posts from fans claiming they should be back in SL based on you home and away support.
I went to Hudds away last year with some Rovers mate, and they were half the estimated amount that went to Dewsbury today, so are these extra going as it's guaranteed a win? | | |

I think the numbers are based mostly on guaranteed Sunday rugby, it's a positive for home attendances but huge boost for travelling numbers, and that goes for most clubs - see Cas @ Widnes today.
There's a bit of novelty on there as well, 14 years since I last went to Dewsbury. | | |

I'm enjoying away games again for the first time in a few years, Sundays is a massive plus point, allows an earlyish start, stop off somewhere for a bit of shopping and a bite to eat and on to the game, much better than high tailing it down the M62 on a Friday night and getting home at 1 in the morning.
It has the disadvantage of having a complete moron stood behind me who could barely stand and had learned the spoken word from someone with a bad case of Tourettes. | | | |

I must admit i am really enjoying the Sunday afternoons. Easy to plan my weekends no changes to take into account. No early morning arriving home after Thursday or Friday matches. The standard of play is a downer though. | | | |
