I've been going to the CC final for about 15 years now. Today I was embarrassed to be a Rugby League fan.
We we're some of the only neutral fans in the upper tear a predominantly Hull stand, we had coins thrown at us in the second half. There was a fairly large fight between Hull fans in in the corner of the Hull end (between Hull Fans amongst themselves). The language and aggression of some of the Hull fans around us was abysmal, especially considering there were quite a few young children near us too.

It was a total embarrassment.

Rant over.

You are suprised?

This is hull fans.

I never saw any trouble

I'm sorry it happened, but please don't talk to me and other Hull FC fan on here that had nothing to do with it like its our fault.

I suggest you contact Wembley security to report it.

Bloody warrington stewards

I was in the Hull end and didn't see anything other than rugby league fans of all allegiances enjoying a day out together.

well i am glad it didn't come across on the tv

At the last few cc finals I have been to I have seen similar things from Warrington fans.

It is generally people who are very much the worse for wear and on a weekend bender who seem unable to handle their ale.

Certainly not a game that I would choose to take young children to.

One of the biggest causes of this kind of problem is the useless Wembley security. As you approach and walk around the stadium there are tannoy announcements about behaviour and drunken behavior, and then the only thing they care about.....ONCE YOU ARE INSIDE..... is the fact that your bottle of water has a lid on it!!! If they want to get serious about stamping it out all they need to do is put the security staff on the outside (like at the Etihad). This also needs to be backed up by better quality bar staff. Being able to open your wallet to hand over a £10 note does NOT mean you are sober and should be served more alcohol.

I agree, the Stewards were useless, there was a couple of blokes stood texting and blocking the vometary onto the seating deck directly in front of the stewards. They did nothing about it. They just didn't look interested.

It's probably because Wigan won in such an awful fashion in such a poor game with no fans in attendance.

Wigan's fault.

19.

We were at the stadium by 10:00am, and I saw a drunk fan before 11:00.
I can't understand why people travel to a game such as this, and then spend the weekend drunk. You can do that any other weekend of the year, why waste a weekend away, and at London prices?

At 17:00pm Wigan were the Challenge Cup winners.

And then it was time to celebrate, not before 11am.

The Broncos suffer this every second week- Hull are the worst fans

Why are we the worst fans?

Because the M1/A1 is a long road

At last years final I found myself amidst 50+ drunken Leeds fans, all dressed as Jimmy Savile, who started fighting among themselves in the second half. Apart from being rubbish at fighting they just show most clubs have a moron element, not just Hull FC.

It's Wigan's fault.

From the Wigan end we saw no trouble in the stadium at all. In fact I remarked that it was the first time in about 10 years that this was the case

That bloody McIlorum again.

Thug

This will always happen when you get fans who go for the up, I can assure you the next game these idiots go to will probably the next final we get to.

However I dont see what good posting this type of thread does, all it does is give ammo to have a go at the good FC fans who support the club through thick n thin. Maybe you should report what you saw to the relevant authorities and not people on a rugby forum. Which would be more productive.

So basically your saying discussing anything on here is pointless as anything anyone says would br better said to the player club referee RFL or whoever and not discussed on a forim. Very strange logic there.

For the record I did not see anything at the game to warrent this diacussion but if others did I see no problem with them posting about it.

The fans fighting in the ground were in the upper tear, in the corner furthest from the Royal Box. There were about 15 of them fighting and the stewards came in to deal with them they didn't even eject anyone. I did report the coin throwing to a steward, they effectively shrugged their shoulders. That said whilst the poor stewarding operation contributed to the situation other Hull fans need to challenge the behaviour of those wearing your colours.

A friend of mine was on the train back north yesterday night. A large group of Hull fans were fighting and were arrested by BTP.

If this behaviour keeps happening we'll end up being policed like football fans, which will be a real shame.

I was in the Hull end as a neutral also and like others have said I didn't notice anything at all.
