For me it goes beyond the point of being easy to ignore when you get grown men gesticulating and shouting abuse at young kids like several morons did in the direction of my eight year old son and his two similar-aged school friends when they cheered a couple of Bulls' scores. Is this really in keeping with the idea of RL being a family game?

A bit of banter is great but I have seen more intelligence in a fish pond than was on display in certain bits of the East Stand last night.

I had to chuckle when I spoke to a steward on my way out and made a point of commenting on how delightful some of the home fans were. He shrugged his shoulders in a resigned way and said simply said 'Good luck outside.' Nice touch I thought and demonstrates how un-bothered they are.

Did you not hear? We already have died. Two rounds of booing and a mass exodus at 60 minutes I think gives you an idea of the level of our performance last night. We won't make it past the elimination playoffs this season.

If you'd been taking any notice of our performances in recent months you wouldn't have even considered relying upon us to see you into the playoffs!

Yeah i know. But we stuck 42 points past Catalans the other week. You really must be pants.

Pants!..... did someone mention pants???



=redHappy to have you post on this board . . . . as long as you play by the AUP - 1.2b in particular. Please take note. Image removed - Bullpower

The table doesn't lie we finished ninth because we were the ninth best team over the whole season. When we have to rely on other teams it shows we haven't done enough ourselves.

1 Leeds Rhinos 27 21 0 6 805 453 352 42 15
2 St Helens 27 19 0 8 733 466 267 38 9
3 Hull K R 27 17 1 9 650 516 134 35 15
4 Huddersfield Giants 26 17 0 9 642 400 242 34 12
5 Wakefield Wildcats 27 16 0 11 685 609 76 32 15
6 Wigan Warriors 26 15 0 11 643 503 140 30 15
7 Catalans Dragons 27 13 0 14 613 660 -47 26 12
8 Castleford Tigers 26 13 0 13 610 680 -70 26 9
9 Bradford Bulls 27 12 1 14 653 668 -15 25 15

See

Castleford away, Celtic Crusaders at home, Huddersfield at home when their penalty count should have given us enough field position to win the game etc. etc. etc.

Still it's all water under the bridge now. I feel a bit more confident about next season and it's only
5 months away.

Got to agree with DILLIGAF here, I was in an area closer than usual to 'chav corner' and it was disgusting to be honest. Knowing the RFL's stance on the 'Respect' campaign etc it does make you wonder how this group get away with it. Abuse on many levels was clearly audible from that corner and parts of the East Stand which would not be tolerated at most of the other SL grounds but I think the Stewards operate on a damage limitation strategy and they don't want to have to mass evict for their own safety.

Rugby League is a family game, something needs to done but I think it has to be a Club and Supporter initiative to show what is and is not reasonable behavior, its that or live with the fact that your Club has a bad reputation earned for you by these idiots. I would not take someone new to RL to the KC to get them interested, we took our Mum to this one and I don't think she will be there next year, loves going to away games with us but not the KC again.

Unfortunately I have heard from a lot of Bradford fans who got a lot more abuse than usual just getting to thier cars that night which is sad as the majority of Hull FC fans get tainted by the few.
