I would like to come on here and state that i was part of the fighting tonight at Odsal. A leeds fan in the bradford end was taunting Bulls fans and in a polite reminder to stop the lad in question to calm down as to not start a fight, the women reacted angrily and swore at member s of my family. fighting broke out but i must say that although fighting is unacceptable, tempers were high and although the fighting may seem just at the time we were instigated by the leeds fan. Apologies to anyone affected and can assure you that we tried to remain calm until i could not stand anymore. Sorry for ruining anybodys night as i can assure you that i was annoyed as the Leeds fan in question spoilt me clapping off the bradford team. I hope you can understand and apologies to all

Sounded a bit tasty down there - only saw the aftermath of it though.

in a way if we went to keeping all away fans in the away end it would stop any of this but it does spoiil the banter.
hope he gets banned from odsal

We should never have to segregate. That's one of the things that make our sport what it is. Just get rid of the idiots who can't control themselves so the rest can enjoy it like they always have.

I have no problem with away fans in the home end who are down for some banter. AS LONG AS THEY RESPECT THE HOME FANS.

Where exactly is the "home" end in Odsal?

I can sympathise with you. Personally I want all ‘anti-other teams’ chants removed from our terraces. Like most I don’t mind a bit of banter before and after matches. But in the stadium you should just want to support your team and show good sportsmanship. Won’t ever happen unfortunately!

Hope you have an idiot free experiance in your next visit to Odsal!

i dont mind away fans with us but when they start swearing and carrying on in front of little ones when its supposed to be a family stand, thats when i get annoyed with them.
it also put families off from bringing them again which loses our supporters

What about home fans swearing and carrying on? Is that ok then?

i have never had any trouble or heard bad language which is out of order from any bulls fans where we sit. we sit near families and the atmosphere is always very pleasant,
but an answer to your question...no its not and they should know better in their own stadium

Swearing is something that happens as much as you would like it not to. Swearing from home fans does not aggravate other fans in a negative manner against each other. Like a leeds fan taunting and acting tough in a area of annoyed bradford fans after a narrow loss.

Some people are quite gratuitous with swearing - including the guy in front of me calling Alibert a French T*** every time he blew his whistle. I do swear a bit at the rugby, I can't help it, but its usually just out of joy / frustration rather than directed towards anyone specifically.

I'd have just ignored a Leeds fan trying to act tough - just make them look like the idiot that they probably are.

Obviously i would have liked to leave the guy alone which i did but the reason i was involved was because the leeds fan walked off and came back and blinded sided a man which a member of my family took offence too and punched the guy whihc got me involved. It was a heat of the moment thing which ruined my viewing of Bradford and a good performance. I would have liked to stay calm but apologies and it wont happen again i hope

Apologies for any Leeds fans behaving like tools - we have plenty of them I'm afraid. Unfortunately by involving yourself in fighting with them you have dragged yoursself down to their level. No need for it at all

Not going to make excuses as i chose to vent my anger and frustrations at the leeds fan when i could have easily left it. a Personal fault but do not judge the fantastic bulls crowd and atmosphere on a unfortunate incident which i DO NOt advocate at rugby league

Don't worry I won't. I thoroughly enjoy a trip to Odsal and had I not been ill all week would have been there tonight. It's just a shame a minority manage to spoil the game for some people. Next time just move or tell the stewards and get them kicked out!

Stewards were pathetic and didnt know how to control the situation! It could have been prevented as i saw bradford fans ushering in the stewards to take the leeds fan out to no avail mate

Too often the case I'm afraid. You should rreport that to the club - it might not do any good but at least they'll be aware they could have helped prevent the problem. It might just be me but stewards at Headingley do seem to have improved in the last couple of years

Yeah i have to admit Headingley has improved. Can anyone give me an update as to what happened to the fan in question or if anyone was injured. I heard reports of an ambulance can anyone confirm?

Was it that bad?


Sounds like disgraceful scenes

an ambulance left behind the seated stand once the game had finished with sirens going

not sure if that was connected

I don't want to speculate as it could be rubbish. I saw it as a fight that could have been prevented but nothing worse than is seen a t a football game. Stupid anyway but hindsight is wonderful. Put it down as a slight blip on a decent turnout and behaviour from Bulls

The Leeds fan was with what looked to be his family or girlfriend who were all Bulls fans, so its hard to draw the line really on who can stand where if it means families splitting up!
From what I heard the Leeds fan was having banter and a few Bulls didnt like it and thats how it kicked off. The Leeds lad then did give alot back and gave a sarcy wave as he was ushered out which then caused another mass brawl in which a steward pulled the guy down and they tumbled down a few steps. Looked like the Leeds fan may have bust his arm. The older guy (a Bull) with the Leeds fan then went ballistic and called everyone in the surrounding area scum. He deserved to be locked up for his antics, he was uncontrollable.

A steward stood next to me just watched and gaped at it all. I asked if he'd do owt or call the cavalry and he just shrugged! (To be fair he was a small guy and he was on the other side of the barrier!) Potter and a few of the other coaching staff were all watching as it unfolded, I even saw the guys in the Sky studio having a watch too! Whilst it did spoil it for some I thought it offered some entertainment! (yes thats bad of me to say!)

The guy can stand with us if he behaves like a fan in the opposing end should do. i wouldnt give it the big one if i was in with the leeds fans. Don't speculate on the fight with rumour as your story is semi true but could be misconstrued. The man dragged down the steps was my dad who did hit the Leeds fan after he blind sided another fan which was ridiculous. The family with the leeds fan were a disgrace which i will say as they insulted me and my family to a great extent with no vocal reply to be exact. Don't listen to rumours as god's word as it can only make the situation. I will explain if you want to on here my point of view but would rather forget the fight and remember the rugby

There was, as far as I know unrelated, serious medical emergency shortly after the game had finished close to 'Cue Gardens' .....
