What about another poster alledging another steward 'offering out' Hull supporters by gestering to us ?

Overzealous stewarding at the back of the stand......

I highly doubt that!

Boycotts never cause any real impact, if we staged a boycott next year there'd still be 1,500+ Hull fans there, most people would have forgotten or not have been bothered in the first place and would just want to go to the game.

It seems clear that this paticular company has a bad reputation amongst us Hull FC supporters and not just isolated incidents from the last game at the HJ.

Warrington appear to be clearly patting themselves on the back by getting one ? bad apple being banned from stewarding for a couple of hours work at the HJ.

You need to read my replies more closely.....I want anybody who invades the pitch area to be prosecuted.

I think all this depends on how you interpret the statement, I see it that they have identified a recent issue which the received complaints on and acted on it.

Aside from changing companies/security tactics there is little more they can do and doing this would take time, money and unnecessary effort. As these incidents are scarce they have no real need or motivation to go down this road.

I for one am in the majority when I say I've been to the HJ on multiple occasions and never had any trouble.

Apologies, I haven't read your post's, I was merely responding to the one directed at me.

I agree here was just one that i saw also, and that was after the stewards had piled in

Looking by all the comments including Wire's statement there seems to be a bit of common ground really, I for one in the south just saw a shmozzle but nothing that actually started it. By the sounds, it's One or two idiots going on the pitch, some idiot stewards thinking they're the dogs nuts and power crazy. Seems fair to me, get rid of the provocative bob-end and we should be OK.

Shame you guys don't bring the millions of away fans over the Pennines like KR do to every game though


Good vocal support, see you guys again next year!

Happy with that statement

I did see one or two fans come onto the pitch when the incident got heated

In hindsight the stewards should have just let Heremia come up to the crowd without fuss but it could've been a lot worse so glad it has been resolved

I got the same response from Warrington. Fair enough - there was blame on both sides and they have acknoledged this.

Agree with Chris in that I only saw one Hull fan climb over the hoardings.

There was more than one fan went over, I was stood alongside him when he did, another fan and I pulled him back over to our side to alleviate the mayhem. The Warrington Wolves club and their stadium manager Bernie Lenihan deserve praise for their swift response and actions. No need to allay the blame on the club for one idiotic steward.

I saw 2 incidents. AFAIK one at the right hand side of the stand (where we were stood) which was where the lad was getting the boots and Aaron was pushed away by the steward, another one at the left hand side of the stand which was where it really kicked off with bouncers throwing punches.

When we were stood under the stand after it all calmed down one supporter was being ejected by the bouncers and a couple of minutes later a lady with a couple of kids was talking to one of the stewards and was explaining something about a domestic between her ex and somebody else - I don't know if this is what kicked off the aggro at the left hand side of the stand.

Thanks for the statement.That was what I saw happened.The Warrington Club as responded to the incident.and have taken action against the person who started it.Why not draw a line under it now.I for one will be back next year (All being well )There wasn't any bother with the Warrington fans.We walk to our car chatting to Wires fans who wish us a safe journey home

Good to see our club come out and admit a "failing" on this occasion. Supporters from all clubs can often take delight in blaming each other for incidents but its very rare that your get a "yep, one of ours acted inappropriately and we will deal with it" from a club itself.

As regards action taken against "pitch invaders" it appears that there is obviously video of the incidents which will no doubt be studied further by Warrington, Hull and Cheshire police to see what action, if any can be justified.

From those Warrington fans who appreciated the support you showed your team on Saturday, I hope this will mean we will see you again in 2013

you might be a mod but you cant stop me commenting so jog on adolf

You mention Quadrophenia once and look what happens.

That statement basically says we started it. Is that the case? Wouldn't mind seeing the CCTV footage!

so me commenting about you commenting is a problem



Like I said, you weren't there so you have no clue.

Diddums.

Your the one who should jog on back to your own forum if you can`t do anything but troll on here.

don`t slam the door on the way out.

pot and kettle

So does this mean we draw a line under it?

It's not a [uline[/u it's an (((Exclusion zone)))

If any one entered the pitch then fair enough but it will of only happened after the incident had already occurred and I pretty much say all of it from 20 steps up. Fact is they steamed in for no reason other then Aaron being near the fans and everyone getting excited. To say we surged is a bit far fetched, fans congregated at the bottom to congratulate the players which wasn't overly surprising.

Think it says it all that they have felt the need to take action against the steward imo, some hull fans actions were border line but only due to the actions of the stewards and I would back the clubs decision if any thing further is done but I think it will be unlikely.

Dear all,

I didn't see the incident involving the Meat our club insist on employing and the interaction with your fans. As a bystander listening to both sides, I think Warrington are responsible for this unfortunate mismanagement of adult Apes in orange coats that every match day believe they are above law.

I comment here on the behaviour of 2 Hull fans waiting for a coach and decided to pop into Tesco to grab some 'munchies' and a couple of cans for the trip. They verbally abused a poor girl employed by Tesco, kicked the items she was shelf stacking up the aisle and looked so proud of their achievements.

I guess we have numptys like this across the hills.

If the 2 fans could be recognized,by cctv for example,i'm certain they would feel the wrath of the majority of the hull fans,who travel to enjoy themselves,a few beers,and the game.As for the stewards,i only saw ONE fan encroach the fence,but only to retrieve a boot that a child had dropped which he was given by Aaron Heremaia,for which he was man handled in the totally wrong way.There was another steward (small tubby fella) who was giving a few verbals to some fans near me,which was out of order,but he was quickly moved by the police to the other end of the stand,out of the fans way.

Mobile footage available on a certain video site. Very poor quality due to use of phone and a person who doesnt appear to be able to stand/hold it still. It doesnt show much but what you can see are a couple of police officers filming the incident with cam-corders and you do see a couple of people on the pitch.

Warrington have taken action and I am sure that Hull and Cheshire police will be interested in there input. No doubt that come next season there will be some similiar situation that will need to be handled and also stewards will be better trained based on this incident.
