| Done,
A big difference, in my opinion, is that you have more inter-city rivalries with larger numbers of disaffected young men in football as opposed to RL. Imagine if Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham or London had a large, successful RL team and turned up at Headingley on a Friday night with 5000 away fans, chances are there would be a lot more violence at RL games.
Our view of Hull (and its fans) as a club can be replicated 10 times over in football, with leeds being one of the biggest culprits. You just don't have that in RL. Not saying that violence doesn't happen in RL (some of the worst violence I have ever seen has come on the pitch at lower level RL), but it is also a numbers game, relatively speaking.

| Quote: Ex-Swarcliffe Rhino "All in all it was mostly harmless. No real nastiness, the usual "we ate wharnos" and the obligatory "shoot the rhinos scum" can't recall hearing we've swept the seas at any point though.
Decent game, decent result, stunner of a barmaid on slightly tinged by some idiot anti semetically abusing someone on the way out and when challenged offered up "bantz" as an excuse.'"
I heard the "swept the seas" song. Sounded good. A couple of voices tried to adapt the "Rhinos,Rhinos Sing us a song" chant to an anti-semitic alternative but were quickly shut down by those around them. Good support from the Hawks. A bit sweary but good-natured on the whole!

| I must have missed it. A shame really, my old man is a Hunslet lad, used to go on and on about Parkside etc. Only reason he didn't take us kids down was by that time they were migrating all over the shop in a valiant effort to keep going.

I certainly didn't insult anyone. What are you going on about?
