Anyone know where the coaches got done?

It surely can't be that difficult to police the route from the stadium to the A63? It's only round the bloody corner! If the coaches are taking an alternative route, I'd question whether this is a wise idea. I'm pretty sure if the Rhinos for example played in a less studenty area, we'd be hearing similar tales more often.

If you drive past the estates, you've got a good chance of crossing paths with the mindless youth of today. This isn't Hull FC's fault. It's the city's and an unfortunate sign of the times. The riots last summer tells its own story in how mindless the majority of the youth of today are (very surprised nothing happened in Hull!).

Thanks for the comments. People who have actually spent a bit of time in the City actually realise its not that bad of a place, although incidents like this do portray the city in a bad light.

I think there are chav's in every city, i had rocks thrown at me in Leeds and was started upon at Saints - wouldnt call them fans of either side, didnt have colours on - just alcohol fuelled, aggrssive kids who thought they would look hard in front of their mates. Doesnt dictate my opinion about fans of RL teams who are a completely different animal to football fans

This thread is named "Hull FC"

in regards to that i have been to watch Wigan over there a few times over the years and never seen anything untoward or had any kind of comment in my ear whatsoever, ive sat in the Brickmakers for up to 3 hours before the game, ive also shared a train with hoardes of Hull fans from Newport to Cardiff, walked to/from the ground with crowds of them in Edinburgh, shared drinks with their fans in the red robin, walked from Wigan town centre to the DW in their company and weve never encountered anything to pee me off... buses getting bricked will be of course blamed on the club, an easy knee jerk thing to do.

This is obviously done by chavs as stated before that id bet werent even at the game, Hull fans will tell you that the city has a problem with little fuockwits more so than most places, 'theyre not Wire' where the adults behave like that... to blame Hull FC for it is pretty much wrong.

oh and the ticket prices were a disgrace, i blame Hull FC for that

Well said

Which coaches got bricked?

I go to away games using with Mayfair (Grayway) with my daughter but we always give the Hull away game a miss due to trouble in the past

Well said

It was a Kenmore coach, one of Storming Normans. It was the back window that was bricked in luckily no one was hurt.
The coach was full of elderly Wigan supporters, myself included.

It happened just before the island that takes you on to the motorway.

The police took almost half an hour to attend & didn't seemed particularly bothered about the incident!!

It's a shame that the Hull supporters get the blame when it is mindless thugs with probably nothing to do with the game of RL at all.

This is the first time I have been involved in an incident of this kind in all my visits to Hull whether FC or KR, & I have been going over 30 years, whether by car or coach.

We all have idiots in every team so lets not tar all genuine supporters from any team with the same brush as we brand these mindless imbeciles.

Why do people always point the blame at the door of hull fc,the next thing they will be accusing us of our players taking illegal substances and failing drug tests and the chief executive lying about it.!

Shut up idiot.

You're a very poor troll.

Hull FC are to blame as a coach carrying Rugby fans was bricked had the game not taken place the coach wouldnt have got bricked,they wouyldnt brick a coach carring daytrippers to the city/port,this isnt a problem with society its the city of Hull/Leeds the two blackspots where Wigan coaches have come under fire with objects thrown at the windows of coaches. Why didnt the coach driver take a differant route from the Stadium,I went yesterday and parked on the main car park had no bother walking back my car.

Just an aside, but it makes my blood boil when people talk about the "youth of today". There has always been gangs of poor, working class young people causing trouble whether it be 2012, 1912 or 1812. Some people should get their noses out of the Daily Mail.

I don't condone the events of yesterday afternoon one iota and I think the culprets should be strung up by their genetalia, but to dismiss this as a modern phenomenon is pure media-driven fallacy.

Rant over.

how can the club be to blame? once the coach leaves the stadium it isn't hull fcs' responsibility, unless you want them to give you an escort out of the city!

Its a shame that a few mindless idiots get more publicity than what for Wigan was a great result.
99% of any decent human being would like to see these utter turds caught and given a good seeing too.

The little 8 year old lad who plays outside Wheldon Road! Hull FC need some Cas spin on this one.

Went in the car, parked on the main car park, no problems before or after, £23 a bit steep but didn't get a programme or food and drink took our own, compared to Leeds , Wakefield, is it £20 , facilities far better.
With previous problems with coaches do the local police have a part to play to give safe travel back to the A63 for supporters coaches ?

Not Hull FC's fault in my view. It's clearly chav yobs who are intent on causing trouble and almost certainly won't have been to the game. The Wigan club needs to talk to Hull management before this game and ask for police protection for our coaches until they have passed the island and the Humber Bridge.

I know the area you mention....

What doesn`t really help our town is the lack of alternative routes, as everything is basically bottled into one way in or out... so as a result...yobs can find and get to do these idiotic acts and escape easily.... because they are not hard to find....

The locals know of other alternative routes to and from our stadiums, however Sat Nav`s and drivers from across the country do not....

I`m not for one minute excusing the behaviour of these yobs.... but as its become apparent that the police seem unwilling to do much to protect coaches leaving our town, then perhaps adopting other routes too and from would be an alternative...


just a thought

The london broncos coaches got away from craven park no problem,so maybe it is just a problem in west hull.?

Stopped reading at that point

think he meant Rob Powell and his assistant

Would just like to point out that after the incident last year my dad spoke extensively with the Hull club about Police escorts away from the ground to the motorway and was told that this would be provided for the next visit (i.e. the one last sunday). When we got to the ground on sunday we both spoke with a steward who directed us to the coach park area and he said he thought there would be Police presence infront of the coaches but had not been told anything by the club.
There was no Police despite being told there would be by the club, just two stewards stood infront of cars at the exit of the stadium.

Firstly I'm sorry you had to experience this again. Have you spoken to the club about why there was no police escort to the A63? I generally follow coaches out on my way home from games and there usually is an escort along Rawlings Way to the A63 so I can't understand why there wasn't on Sunday, given that the same thing happened in the same place last year.

Maybe one mini bus was harder to locate.

All jokes apart this is a sad episode for Hull, East or West.A minority of pond life has got the publicity they probably wanted.I am willing to bet here and now,if you asked any of these cretins what are the rules of rugby they couldn`t tell you.They are just a bunch of mindless idiots who just look for trouble.The mentality of these people is hard to figure out.
