I come from an era when you could walk on the pitch at the end of a match and talk to players, I remember after a JP trophy game against Wigan at Headingley talking to Roy Dickinson, as he chatted to supporters. It's a shame you can't do that anymore because there are so many t@ts up for having a pop.
I once went to Twikkers to watch the Middlesex Sevens (I was invited - it was all day beer - WTF), and the day was almost ruined by the number of idiots who ran on the pitch, mostly in fancy dress, towards the end of the day as the ale had flowed. The stewards, quite literaly, resorted to beating the $h1 out people as their patience wore off.
I'm sick of people moaning about the reduction in "personal freedoms" we seem to have, when the fact is for things like rugby, we've lost the ability to walk on the pitch after a match and talk to players becuase we can't control ourselves. I always thought the great thing about rugby was that your team could lose, and you could be hacked off, but that you could realise that it had nothing to do with the opposing supporters (who have every right to be happy) and that all the players deserve your respect.

Hull are financially more secure than any other club in the league with the exception of Leeds. I'm not worried about that.

i have replied but i still think its easy to sort out if the club choose to

I'm with you DHM - Often the highlight of the match was the final whistle and the race to get the player's tie ups. They had that linament smell you couldn't find elsewhere. Ah yes, those were the days.

Then Joe Lydon ted some supporter (probably with justification) and it all came to an abrupt end. Sad times.

Good. Their details are above. Write to them and tell them how. I'm sure your ideas haven't already been considered in the numerous meetings and forums.

And again. The "club" does NOT run the stadium.

OK, so you don't need my brass then. For the best as you won't be getting it.


Not in the slightest. I simply have no desire to travel to Hull anyway and subject myself to the experience of a couple of hours in the vicinity of the kind of individuals that inhabit the stand nearest away supporters. It doesn't upset me. I actually prefer watching away games in the pub or at home. It's a lot nicer. The people there have higher IQs and the beer is better.

If you ever do want or need my money (and the money of money other like minded visiting fans) you might want to do something to tempt me there. I have had a PM from someone suggesting you might be doing just that. Glad those that run the club are not as blase as you. Good news.

[uI[/u had no idea you were going to give me any!?



Fair enough.



Hull are a pro-active club. It wouldn't surprise me if they did take further action. It has been discussed enough.

If you had managed to grasp what I have been trying to tell you for the last two hours, you would have realised that.

Incidentally. Why do you keep referring to me as if I'm an official representative of the SMC? For the record, I'm not. "You will not be getting my money", so on so forth...

I will say again, as you have made the same mistake. SMC run the stadium. Not the club. Although, SMC do obviously take on Hull FC, Hull City and other users of the facilities opinions.

Feel free to continue pontificating on alleged incidents at a game you did not attend. And watch out for all those red herrings you seem so keen on liberally scattering around... you'll slip on them eventually.

like the professionals at wembley who couldnt stop the discraceful incidents with leeds and warrington idiots fighting in the corner and pubs after

pot kettle black me thinks !
id worry about your own back yard

I'd love Wembley to be our back yard. But I'm happy to have it as Old Trafford for the moment.

I've read some crap before, but this takes the mick. I'll pick out some examples and just ridicule them one at a time:

1. "Make that stand the family stand". How would that work? The West Stand is the family stand. If we make the East Stand the family stand, they'll all just go into the West Stand! If we make them both family stands, then where do we put all the people that haven't come with their family? And why would any family want to sit in the corner closest to the away supporters so they can be abused by the idiot minorities of Leeds, Rovers, etc? Your not all spring chickens yourself, you know.

2. "Just move them to the other side". It's unreserved FFS! How do you propose they do that? They pay for a season ticket, they can sit in the unreserved sections of the stand.

3 "Ban them". What have they done that chavs at other clubs such as yours haven't done? If they fight, they get ejected. If they entered the field, they get ejected.

Stop being over the top.

I shall whilst you feel free to pontificate on incidents you claim not to have seen. Or were you doing an "Arsene Wenger" on this issue?

By all means glibly dismiss the multiple laws broken by virtue of the physical assault on Donald because it suits your agenda in relation to said player. If you're willing to do that it's not such a massive leap to assume you'd dismiss the chants aimed at Gareth Thomas if you had an agenda with him.
