The stretforf end, ie, saints end was impeccable. The noise came from high up in the east stand where the wiganers were

I thought it came from the North stand at the Wigan side.

This a reply to a few earlier posts, as much as Newton a great player and in some instances he was the best at what he did. There no way you can have a minute round of applause,,, only because of the manner of his death. The minute silence was more than sufficient. It's a crying shame that there was the odd few showing no respect and makin a mochery of Newton. But to me I will always remember Newton in the game vs Aussie in nz, when gb won, what a game he had that night...... Gone but no forgotten rip terry

Well this thread has come back to bite the OP in the arris!!

probably Hull City Fans!!!

the real disgrace was Eddie going on about TN Drug ban a few seconds before the minutes silence

Far be it from me to stick up for our nearest and dearest but if they were wearing Army clothes how do you know which team they supported?

The had written on the back that they were Hull KR fans.

So he shouldn't have mentioned it at all then?

Where we were sat at the Stretford end the minutes silence was well observed.
I did hear a few murmurs around the stadium but on a whole it was excellent.
May I also say well done to my fellow Saints fans(where we was anyway)on showing respect.

Shame on them tarnishing the club they support

So why did one of them shout "SMACKHEAD" as soon as the minutes silence started? I was there, it was a deliberate attempt at being funny

Why has it you numpty?

It was well observed I thought. The Pub I watched the game in, in Hull, also fell silent.

There is a picture of these Army lads on our board,
How does anybody know they are HullKR fans?

As I said when someone asked the same a few posts up some of the had written on the outfits that they were Hull KR fans.

On the picture of these lads,there is nothing to say they are HullKR fans though,

Well you where told wrong,it was nothing to do with Hull fans what so ever.I watched the whole incident but dont let that cloud your judgement and get in the way of facts.

I haven't seen the picture but did see them yesterday and they were Hull KR fans.

How do you know though,Did you ask them who they supported?

That is correct.

For the 3rd time it said on their outfits that they were Hull KR fans.

Sorry but earlier you said that they had on the [uback[/u of their outfits that they were HullKR fans,
On the photo of them there is nothing on the back of their army tops saying anything about HullKR.

Like I said I haven't seen the photo but I (and plenty of others across the boards) saw them and saw that it said it. Deny it all you like but there was a group of Hull KR fans at the ground dressed in army gear. By all accounts this group of fans were responsible for some of the noise.

I'm not denying it-
If these lads had Rovers shirts on I'd be the first to have a go at them.
After seeing the photo of them,I just wanted to know how people could say they were Rovers fans,as there is nothing to show that they are Rovers fans on the photo,thats all.

I can confirm that too.

One lad shouted "smackhead". The rest of the noise was people shushing.

Better observed than expected, so
