We barely have enough room for our own fans, nevermind away fans. It definitely needs looking at and I'm sure it will be sorted in the near future but there's no need to be so melodramatic.

Our facitilies aren't something I'm particularly proud of for home or away fans, but we're there to watch a game of Rugby League not a royal variety performance.

Safe journey to those coming, should be a good game!

Yeah but £20? seriously? to sit in some temporary seating 20 mile away from the pitch? no thank you.

The Golf Stand isn't 20 miles away from the pitch, that's the South Stand and only Hull FC fans get put in there £20 is a lot, but well worth it for the top class Rugby League on show

But then, let's face it, where would be big enough?

You could probably fit us all on the Isle of Man, just.

My family and I will DEFINATELY NOT be attending the match! This is the only away game that we boycott and attend all the rest religiously. It is not just the £20 entry as I was unaware of this, but I refuse to be treated like a 3rd class citizen simply because I am an away fan! I will not elaborate on this because we all know about their pathetic hospitality.My only wonder is that they get any away fans, particularly when away fans are allowed a free run at the jungle and can stand or sit anywhere!(except maybe in the diggerland jcb bucket!!!) It amazes me that they are allowed to take over the Princess street stand when they play us and call for all the forward passes etc, prime position just as they are at home. Will we ever learn!
My apologies to our boys, hope they manage a win without us!!!

The North Stand is the seated stand behind the goal and its a very good view. TBF the South stand (standing) at the other end isn't good but many fans buy these cheap tickets for this stand and watch the game from the Well end which is also a decent view.

AFAIK, Away fans are able to buy North stand seats as a priority and Rovers then sell the remaining tickets to their own fans. For well away supported sides like yourselves, Leeds, wigan etc they usually take most of the stand but for Quins, Cats and Huddersfield etc we just give them spaces for 40/50 or so and sell the remainder from day one.

I'm sure opposing fans get confused with the South Stand and the North Stand.

Like Big Spender has said, the North Stand is where you'll be sat and it is a good view/just like any other ground.

£20 pound is steep but we aren't the only club in the league that charge this as far as I'm aware.

Huddesfield charge £20 as well I believe and do Hull FC charge £20 too ?

Yeah, but they are more acceptable because they're 21st century stadiums rather than the rundown dilapidated rubbish at Craven Park.
