On the other other hand you won nowt either

I am just saying better than rovers and the other 11 teams. 3rd two years on the run is great considering the team we have.

The Glorious League Freak"]I think the thing people don't like about this "traveling KR fans" topic is this.


They are Hull KR fans.

And they are traveling.

To where other people live.


Now, thats a problem, and let me tell you why.


Evolution.


See, a few million years ago primitive man started to travel. He wanted more than what he saw around him and so he got his leopard skin digs, grabbed his brontosaurus bone, got his sabretooth cat and his b*tch (In that order mind you!) and started a very long walk.

He walked for days. He walked for weeks. Hell, he walked for years.

He liked walking you see.

Anyway one day he settled down in a nice little place, smelled like fish, but at the time he put that down to his missus.


Time rolled on, and the rest of the human population evolved. This were invented, man moved forward and become a thinking beast.

However, deep in East Hull, primitive man had no idea about the changes going on around him.


Then, he discovered crack.


Now, I don't want to start running down any particular supporter base in the game, but Hull KR are violent, stupid, un-evolved, cave dwelling, criminal crack heads.

So when they get that itch to start traveling again.....of course people start to get a bit upset.


At the end of the day, its just a fact of life.

Death, taxes, a KR fan stole my car and shat on the back seat.



And so concludes this thread.

now bearing in mind the fact that LF stated that English Rl was crap compared to Australian RL and he was right. I have to give his above point a high degree of credibility

I've just found a few errors in the usually immaculate Rothmans, it claims Hull KR's average attendances in 1994/95, 1995/96 and 1996 were 1,900, 1,638 and 1,699 respectively. I can only imagine they missed a nought off the back of each one. How can a publication noted for accuracy get away with that?

thats how many new people started going each day isnt it?



oh it's not?

Just say there was a food shortage, right?? It wouldn't take long before people started to travel further and further to get their food.

Same with crack.

You have to remember, these KR fans are all about migration patterns. They went north for the winter trying to find greener pastures in Africa, or as I like to call it, my spiritual home.

Anyway on their trip they get into the whole migration deal, as I said, they like walking.

Thats why you'll see KR fans walking around win one flip flop on. See, they found one, and they figure eventually they'll come across another on on their travels.

Anyway, migration is a big part of their lives.

Every second Friday for instance, the mature KR fan will migrate to the local dole office.

So the away trip is just built into their system.


I really should write a paper on all of this. I'd title it "KR Fans: A Step Back Down The Evolutionary Ladder".
