and that is sad full stop me and my mate support different sides but i dont hate him and vise verser to hate someone for whom they supporter is no different to hate someone, because of race and creed.

I will only sleep easy when the Filth are in National conference losing 1-0 to Leigh Miners

I hate Wigan


And don't like Hull

Likewise, and I've been following FC for nearly as long.

Or you could do a comparison of signatures, both on here and on your 'private' message board. That would give a somewhat different picture.

Definately yes and after seeing half there fans at wembley last year with anti hull t shirts on and yes i know its maybe a bit of fun for some fans but the vast majority relished in it so the answer for me is yes even tho some of my best mates are from the dark side of town

or just a just read a few posts a fair percentage of which make reference to FC or their fans when its really of no relevance to the topic under discussion.

Quite sad really.

The only thing I hate is to see any player injured.


As for Rovers fans?,people forgive them,for they know not what they do.

Here here no matter which theam the player represents.

For me rovers are just another team..do not hate any team..just like to see a good game of rugby pref with us winning.

hate the club not the fans

some of them can be ok i guess

Personally think a lot of the 'new age' fans have this hate mentality about them as they don't understand the rivalry.

Of course there is rivalry but that is only expected with 2 teams from the same town/area.

In summary i don't hate rovers fans and agree with other posters the only thing i hate is to see players injured

same here ,ex wife is a rovers fan (marriage lasted 7 yrs ????) .my 2 daughters who live with her r hull fans ,even when we play them i pick her up when i pick kids up .
HATE is a strong word i just like them doing better then us

Would never say I hate Hull [ifans[/i (like many people, some of my best friends are FC supporters), but certain aspects of the club I'd say I do e.g. Mr Tool.

you have friends roofs

No, using the word hate for a sport rivalry is plain ridiculous. Some people need to get out into the world more if there that locked up in it, its just sad.

Banter on the other hand, bring in on!

Works both ways though mate.

If there was a breakdown of posts on boards, guys like Stan Butler would appear to be a Rovers diehard!



(no offence Stan, your humour on there is quality at times



).

Aye, supposedly I'm "a good lad for a Rovers scumbag"

they could be right i suppose

By "make reference" I of course mean copious use of words like Duller and Scummer & Scum.

"hate" is such strong word and too easilly used, to me any person that genuinely hates another person because they support another team is a bit of an idiot, especially when put into context of all the other crap thats happening in the world.
hate is a word I would use towards the scum that kill our soldiers the peado's that meddle with kids etc, not someone who supports the team that i dont
dont get me wrong , i would go as far to say as i "hate" losing against hull if only for the first few hours , but I dont hate the club or any of its fans.
I enjoy the rivalry and banter between the two clubs but sometimes its taken a step too far.

Its the tribal instinct coming out of some of them.

T.B.H. "duller" doesn`t worry me,any more than "Gateshull", but scum is O.T.T. as far as I am concerned,no matter who it is directed at.

I don`t "hate" Rovers fans , just the Club they follow!
As for the vetriol I think that went up a few notches when Cooke defected in the manner he did.

I don't hate Rovers Fans

I don't hate the club (being in Super League is great for the City)

However, I do hate some of their management team and techniques along with just one of their players but again perhaps some of that is due to how the board manage their club?

On the other hand there is the little man symptoms on show throughout the red and whites towards their superior bigger neighbours

i dont hate the fans, i have sympathy for them, uneducated folk bless



i do despise grudghill for his constant belittling and his obsession of trying to get 1 up on his more illustrious neighbours in the west, and failing
