Yep. All home games and only a handful of away games. I have a family and a demanding job. Family comes before rugby. Before I had family, I was there for every game. Lesley's coaches from FC for all away games.

If you're looking for superfans, I'm not one. Anyone putting sport before family and home life is an obsessive, not a fan.

No one has a problem with all that it's just the made up crap that gets spouted every derby game. The pensioners that got beheaded and wheelchairs over turned fiction that some seem to revel in.

My poor granny. She was crucified at half-time because she spilt her Bovril on someone. They also went to her house and eviscerated her budgie.

My story isn't fiction. I've had problems at Post Office Road - one coach trip home in the eighties was freezing with no windows left, Headingley, The Shay and Wilderspool (which was a terrible place for away fans; no protection from the farkwitted stewards).

What happened 30 years ago hardly reflects the games of today. I've had some horrendous experiences at boothferry park but it would hardly stop me going to watch city nowadays.

Headingley was 2 years ago. You miss the point.

I am also not going. Been to Craven Park twice, once it ended in a pitch invasion (not me I add), the second I left soaking wet after being in the middle of a storm haha. Anyone remember that? I shall we sat at home watching on Sky

Yep. Your ground is a shthole and my experiences there over the years have been tarnished with a damaged car, stones and beer thrown over me and my son and coins raining from the Millward Stand. Some onto the heads of your own fans.

That's why I refuse to go.

It's on Sky, I pay £16 per month for the Sports channels so I'll still be supporting my team as I have for almost 40 years now.

What a load of rubbish

Just an idiot trying to justify his bitterness towards Rovers by making stuff up

I believe its called freedom of choice. If we don't turn up then it leaves more space for the thousands of your fans who are locked out each home game.
