Quote ="Code13"You know why I said what I did?
Because I can remember the spite, bile and vitriol directed to Huddersfield before we got relegated from Wakey fans.
They made their bed. Now they get to lie in it.
I dont want Wakey to go anywhere, I used to be a big fan of Wakey and was as thrilled as any of the Wakey fans at the game when I watched them win promotion to Super League.
But I cant forget the years of abuse, lies, snide comments, "shuddersfield" and so on from those same "fans".
So the phrase "if you cant take it" springs to mind.'"
I know exactly what you are saying. I'm sure Huddersfield have had equal amounts of verbal abuse along with everyone else, I just think It's a shame, and the amount of hatred between some clubs is quite amazing, Hull- HKR. Bulls-Rhinos. Wigan- Saints, It's all across the league, I know the same sort of thing exists in Football but i dont know if it's in all sports. Rugby League is a minor sport clinging on to existence thanks mainly to Sky , It's under attack from all sides ,Especially Union Via the media, If people need something to aim at , then let them aim at the enemies of Rugby league rather than neighbouring teams.
Banter between fans has always been there , and is a good thing but when it turns to Bile, Vitriol and such, its gone to far, Iv'e had conversations with people who hate certain clubs so much they would love nothing better than for them to just disappear, And when that has happened they will just find another club to hate to take there place, I suppose a lot of it comes down to people being fans of their own clubs rather than Rugby league fans, but that i suppose is human nature.
