Fair post.

There seemed a lot more than 11k!

Nowt like thinking above your station is there?

You're saying it's a majority then

I didn't see any trouble whatsoever tonight by a minority/majority so does this mean... your opinion is fuelled by 'reputations' or 'blown out of proportion' stories?

I won't deny it goes on... it just gets blown up into pathetic nonsense.

What utter RUBBISH!

Facts? Evidence?

Just stop making yourself look silly! I'm embarrassed for you.

Last night was the first game v Hull KR since they came back up to where I haven't seen trouble to be fair, however it was also the first game I have been to where the police have had metal detectors outside at least 2 pubs




Anyway fantastic attendance last night and I hope we can keep it up all season

It's usually (if any) about 5 or 6 people out of a thousand - therefore the minority.

Thought we were well behaved last night

are you saying that us fc fans are better behaved

NEVER

I don't have a problem with this, although found it astounding that my kids had to be checked

while saints fans were walking past unchecked. My husband was told this is done at all major sporting events in the area now so interesting to hear you say this was a first. Surely it would have been better to have had the checks outside the turnstiles to check everyone entering the ground not just checking away supporters getting off the buses.

Last time KR came there was a fight among the fans and the police got involved. KR have that rep, unfortunately. But I noticed last night that the police kept back, unlike last time you visited when they were everywhere, with horses and stuff. They were more discreet this time, which was good.

But also, and what was best, your fans didn't have a fight this year! They were very good boys and girls and all deserved some sweeties. Keep that up and you'll lose the rep.

Slightly patronising response, so as you quoted me, what is your opinion on us being checked, children in particular, and your fans not?

I wasn't being patronising. Look at the smilie. That means I was being lighthearted.



I gave you the reason. Last year your fans had a fight among themselves. The atmosphere was not nice when you arrived last year. That's why the police will have been out and why you will have been checked, kids and all (not all kids are angels you know). Our fans don't generally have fights. That's the difference. You stop having fights and creating bad atmospheres, the police won't check you. In a previous generation it was Warrington fans who created trouble and they got the attention. They no longer do cause trouble and so they don't. You don't cause trouble, you won't have the attention. But it will take a while.

Last night your fans were great. A few more seasons like that and everyone will have forgotten that they were ever a problem. And it doesn't matter whether it is a minority or not, in a stadium, especially one like Knowsley Road which is compact and people are not segregated, a minority can cause chaos and spoil things for a lot of people.

So a few fans fight amongst themselves and we have the worst reputation in SL? I admit we need to rid ourselves of these few idiots and far be it from me to defend any idiot who gives our club a bad name, but to read your comments you'd think there had been an allout riot last year, which from where I was stood there wasn't.

There was mate! Did you not see the VAT turnstile?

Staggered to hear that Dibble set up mobile metal detectors to check HKR fans getting off the coaches.
It is also the only home fixture where Mreseyside's finest send horses. God knows what that has cost the club.
Only danger of any trouble errupting was if I'dve got within striking distance of that numpty Smith

The metal detectors are part of an anti knofe crime initiative.

They weren't targetting specific supporters, both sets of fans were going through.

They had one set up near the black bull for instance, I guess that one caught the majority of the saints fans.

They were also handing our fliers and putting them on car windscreens etc.

Totally random then? My 77 year old mam got through but my 12 year old son was selected.

Er, when did I say that you had the worst rep in SL? What a load of bollox.

Anyway, as you've now found out, some Saints fans [iwere[/i getting targetted so whatever you said in the first place counted for nothing and what I've said subsequently has even less importance than it did to start out with.

I didn't notice any metal detectors last night myself but then I get out of the car and walk straight to the ground coming in from Eccleston so I probably don't get to see much of the traditionally livelier spots.

really?

Yep, thought there was a great crowd in last night - engage are giving the attendance at 11,830. Not bad going for sure in comparison to your Wire game the other week back.

Average attendance of 14,420 so far. No doubt that will nose dive when we play Salford, but it's nice to have for now.

Higher average attendance than Wigan

If i'm truthful, i didn't think it was a great following from Hull KR. I thought there was plenty Saints fans though, so far so good.
