It was a general response directed at a knee-jerking and [idrama queen[/i account of proceedings which bears little resemblance to reality.

I saw one fella in the first half invade the pitch, mimic scoring a try and then doing an impression of Robbie Fowler. He was dealt with by the stewards and summarily ejected from the stadium. I didn't see the alleged attack on Donald... but given some of the dramatic outpourings of what actually took place, I assume Donald is hospitalised after being allegedly subjected to GBH? Or is that just more knee-jerkery?

As for the atmosphere at the game - baying opposition fans and players? LOL! Compared to the old days at the Boulevard, yesterday's atmosphere resembled a picnic at the Chelsea Flower Show!

And as for the Bailey incident, he elbowed Radford several times with intent and the dumb meathead reacted with punches and got sent off. Job well done I'd say. Bailey doing what he does best - winding up an opposition player - getting a penalty, or even better - being instrumental in getting someone sent off.

Now please excuse me while I laughingly consider the ted opinion of a drama queen that Radford's meatheaded reaction to Bailey's provocation was far worse an act of aggression than what Bailey did time for at Her Majesty's Pleasure.

I'll dismiss your homophobic reference as a ted introduction of the red herring variety which is worthy of no further response.

That well documented that most of our fans didn't even know there was a second incident and the one person that did see a fan run on from South Stand said they didn't even touch Donald, do keep up

Really? Interesting. I didn't hear any homophobic chants yesterday.

So why has everyone else said he grabbed Donald?
Back to spec-savers Olive!

We all saw the idiot run on from chav corner and what happened there. A minute of a drunk 15 to 19 year chav running around, and then getting removed from the stadium. We've all got them.

Nothing will happen to Hull there.

Does anybody actually know the facts of this supposed second incident? Or are people just speculating?

but apart from that olive you seem quite happy for people to invade the pitch. you do realise this is illegal in law don't you?
and your club will probably get a big fine?

and what if the next person has a knife. would you still be happy?

knowing hull fans most probably

You get me wrong, no where in my posts do I condone any fan going on the pitch, anyone who goes on the pitch at any ground in the land should get a life time ban end of.

At the moment, the RFL arn't even investigating it! It was an utterly nothing incident.





I'm more worried about the snipers personally.

She's a Hull fan ....it's what they do best.

Although to be fair they leave the goalposts up these days

I wouldn't worry Hull White Star.

See the generalistic comment at the end of the post, he / she have their prejudices in place. Shame people are still like that in todays day and age.

I'm a Hull FC fan. I've never invaded the pitch.

You didn't see it did you Olive.

Your thoughts and opinions are therefore rendered irrelevant.

Trot on.

What wound the RFL up most over that incident?

I think you'll find it was Castlefords inadequate response, hence Hull FC being quick out of the blocks today, not that I expect anything to come of their investigation, Chav corner has had them stumped for 7 years.

I've asked Leeds fans before - come up with a practical solution to chav corner and I'm sure we will take it - got one?

Should we give them a badge when they enter the ground?

Words are cheap.

Did you?

What exactly happened?

its been said time and again.

during the cup game a video camera was trained on the corner yet no action was taken.

secondly make that area a family stand.

if hull wanted to stop it they could. thay choose to ignore it

Really, should we move families out of the West and South stand and force them to sit in the East Stand? A place they obviously don't want to sit.

The actual only practical solution that I have ever heard is to simply shut that part of the stand, thus moving the problem further away.

By the way.... would you mind shutting the South Stand down for me next time I visit Headingley? Because there are sections of that are as bad as our Chav Corner.

so there is a simple solution then.

shame your club can't think like you, condoning violence

Oh dear god.

I know, close the section of seats closest to the away stand, make the section next to it Season Ticket holders in allocated seats so everyone in that section would be more responsible than the walk-up chavs, and if they weren't at least they would be easily identifiable and therefore easily banned...

why else would they do nothing? my mates gf is a season ticket holder and sits near there.
in here words the corner is "disgusting and an embarressment". even she can't understand why hull do nothing.

maybe its because they all signed a piece of paper saying they would be good boys

Already done. Did the large piece of netting escape your notice? How much further away would you like them? Its a stadium, not a county.



Hate to say it, but its been established that many of them are season ticket holders and are there week in week out. So not sure how that would solve the problem. We have one of the best CCTV systems in the league. There easily identifiable.



Actually, apart from upsetting you lot with those 'orrble Rugby songs which are no worst than what the South Stand come out with, they rarely do anything that would consitute a ban. And on the rare occasion that they have, like yesterday they have been ejected and assumedly banned.

The problem is there is no practical solution to "chav corner" other than either closure of the area, which only moves the problem or indiscriminately labelling people.

BTW. Sections of the South Stand upset me. In fact I was assaulted in Headlingley a few years ago by a SSer.. Would you kindly mind closing down part of your stadium for me? Cheers.

Close that section would be the obvious sloution but then the problem may move elsewhere in the stadium.

Isn't it the case that the club are quite happy for them to congregate there well away from the vast majority of Hull fans who, by and large like most league fans, are basically decent.
