it happens in any sport. big teams get a vast proportion of glory hunters who only serve to dilute the ground atmosphere, as well as the reputation of the loyal fans who become suspects themselves

Saints booed off after losing by 4 at home despite winning everything in sight in the last few years.

Leeds booed off after losing to quins and Salford despite being current SL champions.

Bradford taking a mere 100 to Saints because they have lost a few games.

Hull taking 250 to Salford despite leading the table earlier in the season.

Wire taking 200 to Bradford.

The likes of Salford/Wakey/Hudds are always lambasted for their so called poor levels of support, however the last few weeks have shown that so called fans of the 'big' clubs are quick to turn on their side or even disappear altogether at the first sign of any losing streak.

There looked to be more than that on sky ( 400/500 ) its still an awful following but when you look at how poor we have been lately and a lot of fans boycotted it because they are all p!ssed off with the board turning this once great club into a shambles and it was on sky and it clashed with Hull City v Liverpool.

Try standing with the morons, telling them the rules of the game. It's like a bloody playground under that gantry.

Worst part is, they would rather shout forward than sing a song.

Although i agree. I find your post rather amusing considering your good old self was screaming for Meli to be droped against Wakefield because of a knock on.

Not that funny ? Well it was considering it was Gardner that dropped the ball.

If it was actually at the game at Wakey this year, I will have had no idea. I was a booze infused write-off. My only recollection is the silence from the video to the end of the minute silence.

2007 we were fighting relegation and brought 2-3000 against salford so playing poor shouldnt have anything to do with it

So many ignored factors that contributed to this better than usual following it's pointless going on about them as we all know what they were.

One of the worst grounds in the league. The other side of the country. Poor standard of opposition (not that Hull are a good standard, but Salford are 2nd to bottom for a reason). Worst form in the SL (Celtic apart). And on Sky. All major contributers.

Basically, we were playing a poor team with a poor team that has lost 6 on the bounce playing boring dull and uninspiring rugby in a crap setting at the other side of the country. Why would anyone want to take 6-7 hours out of their day to watch that when they could just watch it on tele?

It was a very poor turnout, no question (especially by Hull's standards), but totally understandable. I couldn't make the game anyway due to other commitments, but had I been able to I'm not sure if I'd have bothered for this one anyway. Managed to catch it on tele, and despite the win, it was still a crap game IMO.

It wll only get worse if the rfl, sorry sky, no sorry rfl, no sky have thier way with expansion.
How many fan`s will be able to afford two trips to france, then two to london ,scotland, wales, ireland,iom, spain russia,ect,ect?
