I think that been at games and drinking beer’s opens up that righteous farmer ancestral spirit for some. If guns didn’t kill people, they’d certainly be bought into the stands and shot at anyone who dared trespass on their territory.

Thing is these days – most people don’t ware flat caps which probably fits into my ‘righteous farmer ancestral spirit’ theory.

Don't let this put you off coming to Headingley as a neutral. Just next time come over to the Northstand. You get a much better class of abuse here and we are all too old for a ruck.

Want to re-think this now you're sober?

He had a point though, [iwhat do[/i Nazi's know about Rugby League?

Has a large group of away fans ever arrived early and stood in the middle of the South Stand?

Just playing Devil’s Advocate as I believe that anyone should be allowed to stand anywhere at any ground and be free from the threat of violence but…

Is it not being a little antagonistic by wearing a Bulls in the middle of the South Stand?

I've stood in the Southstand plenty of times in my Northern/Bulls top and never had any hassle, however since games went all ticket and you couldn't pay on the gate it's restricted me to the North Stand or Western Terrace. While I was in the Southstand only on one occasion did anyone express any dissaproval and that was a teenage girl who was put in her place by fellow Leeds fans.

Think some people probably think the worst of fans sometimes when for the most part they're ok with people next to them cheering the other side so long as it doesn't get to taking the pi55. I've been trapped in the Southstand when Leeds have thrashed Bradford so have had to take it but equally most seemed able to take it when the boot was on the other foot.

For years I stood with all my bulls mates at odsal with my rhinos shirt on cheered but not OTT and never had any bother even stood behind a bloke with 666 on back of his shirt

I do think though that once you start segregating fans either by design, or by accident due to ticketing arrangements you cause more tribalism and in the end it'll end badly. The less segregation the better.

Why is it wherever Gledhill goes turns into a fiasco/daft story?

I reckon approximately 10% of that is true and 90% is made up.

I was sober when I wrote it

I don't mind who is stood beside me at the game . As proof of this you should come and see who I stand with hehehehe .
I have stood in WT in the middle of the Pies . Have stood on the old ET amid the FC .
In an ideal world there would be no animosity between rival supporters . I know that there isn't any from me towards them . But , and there is always a but . I can live with the banter and the bull5hit , but when they start getting physical you really can't be expected to stand there and take it . Reporting it to the stewards is ok if you survive long enough to get to them to report it .
Until as recently as three years ago I have never had any problems at RL matches .. Ok .. Once or twice with Crusaders and Hornets fans at Bramley ..But it seems that wendyball mentality has crept in , and it looks like it is here to stay . Hence the security levels at games nowadays , and hence why I probably won't be renewing my ST when the time arrives to do so .

At the end of the day, if you stand in the SS and are a gobe, attention seeker like Gledhill clearly is, what do you expect?

Why would you wear a Bradford top in the SS unless you wanted people to notice it?

I have no problem with his choice of attire . Fair play to him for wearing his colours . I have done it a few times at other grounds and have been fortunate to find the natives to be welcoming and friendly .

A bit of banter and verbal abuse is to be expected . Physical abuse is not acceptable . ATEOTD it is only a game .

I stood in the centre of the SS for the first time in years....And it was like fooking zoo! Fans fighting amongst themselves. Idiots looking as if they wanted to enter the pitch and sort Child out. So many idiots. I felt sorry for the stewards. Up and down the stairs all night. I dont know what they were saying Rick or if they were correct, but what ever was going on they looked like they had there work cut out!

there should be no problem wearing "away" colours in a Rugby league ground, never mind a "neutral" shirt - however I have worn my Leeds shirt at games i attended as a neutral and then subsequently had to stand away from where i had originally intended

wouldn't choose the southstand for neutral purposes myself, not seen a steward anywhere near me in all the time Ive been there and it's a magnet for idiots and drunks who on occasions will fight amongst themselves never mind an easy target

Neil .
Was it you I spoke to before the game and you were stood a few steps in front of me during the game ?

Im assuming you are the scum that threw the bottle at Mick then? I have seen many Bulls shirts in the SS at the back and never seen anyone react badly to them. Mick is not just a Bulls fan, he's a RL fan. As mentioned before he goes all over the place wearing his Bulls shirt and has never had problems before. He just wears his shirt with pride. If you cant get that through your head then dont bother coming back because we dont want or need people like you.

That about covers it. You should be able to wear your shirt at games. Banter is to be expected but should end there good natured banter

Well said that man .

Was stood next to a Wire fan for the Saints game this year, at the back, nice lad tbh, good bit of banter and not a bad word said from anyone who realised he was a Wire fan.

Have you actually met Gledhill?

Mac Field may choose to ban me for telling you that you are a complete scumbag for making such a disgraceful post on a RL forum (or indeed on any forum).

Even so, I say that IMO that is precisely what you are.

Thank heavens not one of the many Leeds fans I know is remotely like you.

Could be a stalker! He's certainly developed a very unhealthy obsession for Mick Gledhill.

His posts are riddled with references to him.
