| We got the feeling some of the Scots didn't want us there. We had to go into pubs in three's. My mate got thrown out of one for farting. I was called an "english c***t" while buying a pint. The worst thing that happened to us was two lads we were with got jumped in the street on the last night, the attackers jumped up and down on their heads! For absolutely no reason. They spent all night in the hospital.
I have been to Scotland on many occasions and I have never come across this before, I like to think a few numpties knew we were coming and decided to make a bit of trouble for us.
It wasn't all doom and gloom though we still really enjoyed our trip, the highlight was bumping into all the Super League refs in a bar on Sunday, I got my photo with them all while pretending to punch the gimbaloid that reffed our game in the face. To my suprise he seemed to think he'd had a bad game too, describing the pretend punch as "fair enough". To be fair to the guys they were all absolutely spot on and I wouldn't fancy doing their job.
Another big plus were the Hull FC fans who were smashing as usual.

I'll look forward to his public admission of such. If I'd had my hands on him immediately after the game it'd have probably been a real one.

Agreed, and I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you and your friends had. I didn't notice anything of that nature going on personally.
I know following the Hull FC game I was in the queue at the bar and as I got closer the person who was serving the queue I was in moved further down the bar, so I convinced a Hull FC fan in the queue just next to me to let me go first. I convinced him that it was the least he could do after what just happened in the stadium.

| People were getting turned away from bars left right and centre and not just down Rose street etc....
We were a mixed bunch of various ages and sexes and we got turned away when it was obvious we weren't after aggro.
Even some of the player's parents of different clubs got turned away.
Hardly welcoming is it?

I found the people of Cardiff to be much more welcoming, I also thought the atmosphere was better as most pubs were down one street leading up to the stadium. I will be there next year though as is one of the best lads weekends you can have.
It does make you wonder if the RL could ever make a success of a club north of the border.
