Re-read what he said



He said the seated area

What can I say I can't read, couldn't afford a posh enough school....

What a load of bollox chavs ,drunk kids etc etc have been in the SS or frckin years and even more so drunk old tw##s who think they have "their spot" !!
I don't like to stand near the band nor do i give sh## if they stay or go but to blame them for the way a load of p1$$ed up divs act or the increase in the number of chavs attending is way wide of the mark if we have a band or not drunken chavs will remain as will the gloits Fatboy refers to.

Very well said that man, I've been a southstander for at least 25 years. I stand in the same place every game with the same people. Every sport attracts it's share of drunken idiots ( I've had a few warnings off the stewards over the years as well). But to blame the band is way off. You can't and neither can the club regulate who attends a rugby game we just have to put up or shut up, for the record I like the band I think it gives a good atmosphere
I don't know if little drummer boy is attached to the band because he seems to think he is, I know he hangs around with the special needs bunch and that could be the problem.
Every one on the planet could probably admit to being a drunken pratt at some point in their life, some unfortunately do it more than others. There's not a lot that can be done about it!

No Rastrick, he's not part of the band.

1. No I don't-what gave you that impression?

2. What exactly are their 'special needs'? As far as I can see, you object to their a) being young and b) being poorly dressed. Which, given the entire point of going to a game is to support your team, seems to me to be completely irrelevant.

3. They probably can. Certainly including the seemingly self-selecting 'cool lot' on here, who've been noticeably rat-d on more occasions than I care to remember. At least the SNG, if that's what they/we are to be termed, have never turned to abusing or intimidating our own fans.

4. I personally don't drink.

H2H

They're a disgrace to the club

In what way?

I'd agree if they'd drunkenly abused other sections of our support
I'd agree if they'd tried to violently intimidate other fans
I'd agree if they'd used racist or homophobic abuse

But as far as I know, having stood near them for 3 and a bit seasons now, they've done none of those things.

So please explain yourself.

Where did you stand 4 seasons ago?

At a guess, with his dad or no where at all

Bradford at home

Each to their own I suppose but I think the band are an embarrassment.

The Southstand used to be able to create an atmosphere long before the band came along and hopefully will long after it has gone, which I hope is not too far away.

Not them I'm afraid Lawrie, that would be the group of young gentlemen stood between us and the band. I also heard that chant, went mental and got the stewards in. You're absolutely right that what was chanted has no place in a rugby match, but that's not our groups fault.

As for where I stood before, the answer of 'nowhere or with my dad' is correct. This is because before four years ago I didn't live in Leeds, and couldn't make it into games. So the only matches I saw were the ones my dad was willing to drive in for. Having moved to Leeds for uni, I got a season ticket as soon as I could.

Leeds Rhinos games.....everybody hates them

England Football......everybody hates them

Cricket.....everybody hates them

Why can't they just take a hint?!

Was that the day you wore your Arsenal slippers to the game?

No. It would be quite difficult, given I don't own any Arsenal slippers. Or support Arsenal.

Personally the band doesn't bother me. Sometimes it is slightly irritating, although there are many more people in the crowd that irritate me more, usually shouting offensive language throughout the game, particularly in front of young ears. I read rlfans most days but don't often post on here because there is a clique of a certain number of posters, but to continue to call a group of lads that attend as "the special needs group" is appalling. Banter is acceptable, but bullying is shameful.

So, I don't own Arsenal slippers. I'm usually wearing Cotton Traders boots at games, although that's not a hard and fast rule.

Also the gloves are one black and one white, hence the Michael Jackson jokes. Do try and keep up.

Furthermore, you're still to explain why owning or wearing Arsenal slippers makes someone a 'disgrace to the club'.

If you can't back up a claim, don't make it.

And fwiw the most part of what's been said does just constitute abusing members of Rhinos support. That, in my book, does make you a disgrace to the club.

Could always start your own clique.

Id join....

Wrong answer.

Atleast if you was p[ii[/issed, you would have had an excuse for your out of time drumming.

Only if we can have a really cool name and matching hats?

His choice of hats is a disgrace. More of a disgrace to the club than the specials and the band.

FFS! It's not just a clique... It's the OBN!
