Except that with rovers fans, the outcome is scrapping in the stands.

And most other fans too with 7hrs worth of booze down their necks.

Wow, ok.

If I upset you by pointing out the obvious with regards to why a 6pm weekend fixture might be deemed as an accident waiting to happen. I understand text can come across as condescending and I apologise if that's the case. As for us Rovers 'fans', we just come to support our team and enjoy the rugby.

I apologise too, but it's the 3rd year in a row now we've had aggressive and troublesome rovers supporters sat near us - perhaps it's tinted my perception of rovers as a club. I accept all clubs have their idiots, maybe I just have bad luck with being near all of them.

It's worth pointing out that a number of us are expressing our concern over our away support in recent times to the club, it will no doubt gain us nothing but the self satisfaction that we tried. We wouldn't hold it against you if you wished to contact Hull KR to let them know of your troubles in recent years.

It was mentioned earlier that a possible solution is ticket only games and refused entry to the North stand for away fans.

the first year that rovers returned to SL I actually enjoyed their presence at Headingley

Don't Bradford shut their bars down for the visit of HKR? They must have their reasons.

Probably because Hull is in the title. I've read of alot of trouble between Hull [ucity[/u and Bradford. Games are governed on a basis of 'how likely is trouble', I'd expect that the football boys have done a good job to make the city of Hull a grade A for policing in any city with a rival football team. It's the same police force so they will no doubt treat all 3 Hull clubs the same.

There was a very visible police presence at Headingley yesterday - something that there isn't when we have visitors from Bradford, Saints, Warrington, Salford, Quins... you get the picture?

Probably does have a lot to do with it although non of the rugby fixtures are policed anywhere near as much as football is

I see a police presence at pretty much every game I attend. The last few years I've driven to most away games for the first time rather than coaches and the police come in handy for parking hints.

I think this just highlights the fact that our reputation is preceded by our title.

Fellas lets not make the mistake of labelling these cretins as "fans".
They aren't fans of RL just idiots who can't handle a few beers and feel the need to cause grief and unfortunately i think most if not ALL clubs have them.
I also support LUFC and you get that label when you go anywhere in those colours whether you've done anything or not and it's ridiculous.

no, they didnt last year

Quick question:

How long did it take for Leeds to sort out The South Stand Under 16 Cider Appreciation Society?

"Loz !
Man here wants to know how long it took to sort out the south stand under 16 cider appreciation society..."

Why did I have the mental image of Little Britain and the "Man in shop" character shouting "Margaret.....Margaret....." when I read that???

McLF & I make a fine double act

However outlandish a suggestion you can bet someone has made it seriously at some time. Nothing about the Chinese suprises me. One look at a menu from any resteraunt in China makes you realise that they could try anything.

someone at work said leeds utd stewards have to do a NVQ

would be interesting if this were applied to the stewards at headingley

dont be so high and mighty . all clubs have some idiots . leeds included we do not need these people .at any of ourstadiums

I don't think they will in a previous life working in a leisure centre while at uni we had "security" all they needed to get the gig was to work for very little. Think they had to do some Internet conflict management course.

Good post mate,agree 100%.I am all for banter and P taking,but a small minority spoil things for the majority of decent supporters.
