anywhere is good as long as its away from the nappy gang singing about rovers to any club we play, most of em arent big enough to hold a gun never mind sing about one!!
they are somewhat tedious arent they ??, old fella behind me on Sunday said " you see that lot show there is a case for mass sterilisation"
nearly had heart failure..
but anywhere is good at the KC , i have sat in all areas and had a top day in all its one of those well planned stadia isnt it

| Still think one of the biggest reasons for poor atmosphere at some games over recent seasons is two fold:
The first being the fact that the product on the field for at least the last 2 seasons has been poor and even the most rose tinted specticled fans at times found it hard to generate much interest in what they were seeing and not exactly much to get excited about.
The second is inpart simply down to the lack in numbers of away support which apart from one or two SL clubs is poor at the KC.
I think the atmosphere will no doubt improve if the team play with heart and desire for the full 80minutes and actually play some entertaining rugby.

Away support is poor because it's too expensive.

Too expensive to travel maybe but the dobbins get less away fans than us and they're cheaper

unless they get the restriction removed from the Golf stand then there will be even less this season.

...and/or Fri and some Saturday night games are just too much for families and people who have to work. This is where family meets corporate.

Yup, have to agree, it's kind of two fingers to anyone much further away than Leeds, but it seems to be working in terms of season passes and corporates, so as a business decision it's fairly sound.

not so sure on that one
when we first moved to the KC prices were cheaper, but away crowds weren't massively different (even on sunday afternoons)
the only clubs capable of bringing a decent following are Leeds, Rovers, Bradford, Warrington, Saints, Cas and Wakefield. The others still woulden't bring big numbers if the price was £1.

| Quote ComeOnYouUll="ComeOnYouUll"No, he's far better looking than me.
Threepenny lost much of it's magic when the capacity was cut (I'm talking before the old stand was demolished). We've often had a far better atmosphere at the KC than in the last few years at The Boulevard.
I just fail to see how a "singing block" works. People will sing if they want to or not as the case may be. I find the idea a bit embarrassing to be honest.'"
I disagree, if you look in football many of them have "unofficial" singing blocks. For example places like QPR and Notts forest have the X (not sure what letter) block were people will go and start the singing, which usually leads to the rest of the ground singing. Threepenney may have gone down pan towards the end but it certainley got more people singing and learning the songs. The KC atmosphere is rubbish , ok it may be louder at times but thats just people making any old noise, old faithful is an embarrassment when sung now and the only song we can finish is come on you hull.
Untill we as fans get our acts together and start getting behind the team vocally as we use to the KC will not fruitate as a fortress. Lets be honest if we go 6-0 down the place becomes a morgue, not everyone has the confidence to just get up in the middle of nowhere and start singing on there own. Thats why we are better at away games because everyone is grouped together and usually people will join in, I don't believe the answer is people will sing if they want to.

I was talking about this last night, I think it would be the best way for the club to get a bit of atmosphere within the KC. A takes a lot to get that stadium echoeing, yet it could be easily done!!! If it's explained to the fans (i.e. which block and what the idea is) I think it'd be very succesful, definitely something I think could be approached with to the club.
