Wiiiiilllllmaaaaaaa...

I rather like the sound of this rotund femail, even if she does have a whiff of the harbour about her.

Did anyone get a picture?

On a more serious note, isn't the breach of a banning order effectively contempt of court and something you could end up doing time for?

The people in fancy dress, certainly did more than just have fun. At least two of them were cuffed and it was lucky that there were a number of stewards and police because it would have been a lot worse. They were pushing and shoving the police at a minimum, when i went past, one policeman looked in a bit of trouble for a period as he was been shoved by 2/3 people.

Can't we put those little chip things in people that they have for dogs? Then they would set off an alarm at the turnstile.
I did some interesting work with glass at universitiy. We looked at slowly dissolving glass as a way of releasing vitamins and minerals slowly over time into the stomachs of sheep. When the glass ball dissolved to a certain size it passed harmlessly out of the gut. We could do the same thing with trouble causing rabble, give them a glass ball with a chip in it. After 12 months the ball would have reduced in size and would pass out. If you added vitamins then it could also help with the p!$$ poor diet these people usually seem to have.

It's a win-win as far as I can see.

How do you know they were real policemen? Could have been a rival fancy dress group.

There were also Hull KR "fans" in the Taps pre game singing "We hate rhinos" obviously looking for a response from myself and some friends. We ignored them and they were warned from the management of the pub about their behaviour.

I wonder which team he follows



The stewards (and police) response was totally unacceptable. It wasn't the "minimum wage" stewards either. It was the "green team" stewards. Supposedly the SAS of Headingley stewarding.

The two female police officers also took far too long to get control of the situation and remove the bother causers.

I was concerned for the safety of my friend in the midst of it. He was sat a few rows behind Batley Rhino

In all seriousness Bats has just started taking his boys to the matches and it it appalling that the lads were subjected to this behaviour after just a few games as spectators. Think of it as a good life lesson bats, if they don't work hard in school this is how they could end up.

Most police forces have an officer or two that are assigned to their local RL clubs and, if requested, may travel to away fixtures as a plain-clothed 'spotter' to identify known troublemakers and, if necessary, draft extra stewards in to the area that they are standing etc.

It wasn't just a few of the HKR supporters that were looking for trouble - it was far worse than that.

As a season ticket holder in section A I can tell you that the majority would have been happy to get involved. The vast majority of them were men, there were practically no children with them. The language was just awful. Most of them didn't actually have tickets, the stewards having failed to do their job yet again.

So I won't be back in that part of the stand again, enough is enough.

I know kick off time was probably dictated by the T20 game that wasn't but whoever thought it would be a good idea needs sacking. RL is a family game and this is the second game in a row where there has been trouble in the same area and children have been caught up in the middle of it.

Message to Mr Hetherington - come up with appropriate KO times (anyone could have forecast the outcome of this one), stop using stewards who actually run away at the first sight of trouble (they haven't got the gumption to take action), stop selling tickets on the day to away supporters for the North Stand (or perhaps only sell them to adults accompanying children - not that that would have saved the idiot from Huddersfield who started a fight on his own with his kids sitting next to him) and start enforcing the rules with regard to language.

Message to away supporters - please don't come to our ground drunk and abusive, we all love the banter but the alcohol blurrs your judgement.

Message to the stewards - don't accept a job you aren't capable of doing.

Message to those who think this is a forum to joke about this - when and if you ever have children of your own you will understand that it isn't a joke having to put up with this rubbish.

Back in the early 90s we were offered proximity readers for access control that had as an option transmitters that were bonded into small glass beads of the type that are now used for dog micro chipping - the manufacturers were actually seriously suggesting that a similar thing could be done with human employees.

The manufacturers were Chinese though.

Been there, done that, 'twas ever the same.

Its really easy for an organisation to talk about doing things, far harder to actually do those things, especially when additional expense is involved.

Diabolical,the coaches must be more strict.

fully agree with this and the original post from the HKR fan apologising when in truth he didn't have to!!

What was wrong with the Kick Off time?

Bars open at 11, Kickoff not until 6.

7 hours drinking for a group of neanderthals not used to having more than 2 shandy's.

Cheers mate.

We usually have 8pm kick offs though...

On a weekend?

No, on Fridays.

So if the average fan were to finish work at say 5pm, they wouldn't have 7 hours in the pub? And those not at work may not be able to afford a 7 hour bender. A 6pm kickoff on a weekend is a drinkers dream.

Ahh I see, your idiotic fanbase can't control their drink.

Still a long way of the poor state football is in but the issues need to be nipped in the bud to stop us going the same way. All fans have the idiots who follow and cause trouble not just from hull.

I think it's universally accepted that this happens, it's not just limited to Rovers fans.

We are in no position to sit here with that sort of attitude. We have our own share of idiots who cannot handle booze and are a embarrasment to our club. All decent fans of all clubs should be concerned rather than trying to point score over other fans.

I for one enjoy being able to mingle and speak to fans of other clubs and would not want things to get to a point where we are completely segregated
