That's what I was thinking - are you serious DD?

Yes a poor show from London supporters

No it wasn't -I was there too & everyone seemed fired up & noisy !

So where was you sitting

Serious Question DD..............how many "locals" made up the crowd of 3,930 reported on the BBC?

Quite a few. All the peeps around us were.

Interesting take. We were a group of 5 and sat around the half way line in the lower tier of the Medway stand (the tickets I bought were for there so we ST holders sat with them in the non reserved seats). I liked the atmosphere as it was a mix of neutral/soccer/Hull/Broncos fans being noisy & buzzy with everyone enjoying what they were watching.

Sounds like it was a good atmosphere.



Out of curiosity Torbreck, of the 3 "locals" you brought, how many will travel across town for the visit of Widnes and could they be persuaded to buy a ST next year?

They were from Dublin & hard-core RU fans visiting their mother who lives locally. But to give them credit where it's due they did delay their visit so they could come to the Kent game and even with their ancient Hull connections enjoyed it immensely. I doubt even they'd travel that far again to watch us beat Widnes although they would probably be up for another Hull FC game in the future!

I have always thought an OTR game would go down well in Dublin....I am sure I recall the Bulls having an Irish Charity connection a few years back...their green away strip.

There's no pre-conceptions about Union/League in Dublin.....I think you'd sell out the RDS in a heartbeat.

Bradford actually played a pre season friendly over in Dublin in the year of the green away kit. I went. It was played at a small RU club and attracted a crowd of a hundred or so. I have no idea what, if any marketing there was ahead of the game. To be honest it was a very half hearted pre-season run out, played in quarters, an incredible number of substitutions. Matt Cook was in the Bradford team that day.



I ended up next to a couple of football fans who watch RL on Sky but had never seen it live until today. They loved it but said they won't ever be regulars due to the journey in from the part of Kent they live in.

It's these types of fans that the club needs to canvas for their opinions. Admitedly, they won't be interested in travelling too far from Kent to catch games, but it's their feedback that is vital to getting the message right.
