Quote: BeechwoodBull "What rubbish. "Kids in their early twenties, which planet are you on. I was married at 21 with a mortgage, by then they ought to be showing some maturity. Call me old fashioned because I am an old git, but Effing and blinding where there are children and women around you is NOT acceptable in my book. Every club has its share of idiots and we clearly have ours. Don't try to condone them'"


My point being tell them to shut up then, they are hardly hardened ex RL players they are a group of halfwits in their early 20's.
Someone mentioned they would kick off I very much doubt it, I presume its the same group that were bullying the admin of the Banter page?

Its the same old sticks and stones thing, the club are hardly likely to Kick them out so its down to whoever is offended to tell them to shut the f$ck up, although this would show double standards... icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

Chanting at the players, coaches, referee, staff etc. is one thing. As much as it shouldn't really be condoned, it's part and parcel to an extent and they know what they're getting themselves in for. Chanting at a young kid volunteering as a ball boy, shouting "Your bed's too small for you" and other fat jokes? Well out of order. He's a kid. If he'd have turned round and rubbed his belly, I'd feel less sorry as he can obviously take it. Still not right, but not as bad. Instead the poor kid looked really uncomfortable. It was bullying, pure and simple. But this lot don't care about that as long as they can show off in front of their pals.

I personally wouldn't dare say anything as there's a fair group of them who've usually had a bit to drink and I wouldn't want to end up with a few of them sticking up for each other. I could easily take most of them one-on-one, but I don't go looking for fights and certainly not at rugby games. But if one started on you, the other halfwits around them would back them up. And sadly, I have no faith in stewards at all having witnessed the likes of Hull stewards stand right next to chav corner while they chant racist abuse about Bradford and do absolutely nothing about it.

I'm not sure they can do better. Almost every chant they do is recycled from somewhere else and isn't original in the slightest. Or it's just really really poor. Not saying I could do better, but there isn't really a creative bone in their collective bodies.

Wasn't at the Swinton game but if there were chants like that directed at the ballboy that is bang out of order.

In terms of chants recycled. Pretty much 99% of all chants anywhere are recycled from somewhere. And I'd much hear the Ethan Ryan chants, the James Clare chant (of last year), the Toovey's army chants and pretty much all the other player chants than the monotone boring ones of "Northern, Northern" and "Come on you Bulls" over and over again. As much as I don't condone the bullying at times and the swearing is wrong in front of kids those guys do bring atmosphere and try to create an environment for the lads playing.

Bullying is wrong - end of!

If I'd have picked up on a group of bulls fans slating a young ball boy I would have told them to give over; I don't care how many they are, its wrong.

Quote: Stan Doffarf "Has anybody read the match report? Looks like it was written by a Lithuanian with learning difficulties. The club need to get their publicity output sorted, that kind of thing just makes them look amateurish.

I might suggest they send everything to me so I can translate it before it gets into the public domain.'"


They don't take well to people pointing out their mistakes either.

I have repeatedly highlighted their mistakes on Twitter (the most recent referring to Lee Smith as a utility back-rower) and they've now decided to block me. Because apparently blocking one of your best customers for the last 30 years from seeing club updates is a good business strategy. I use Twitter more than any other medium for keeping up to date, I now can't do that because the person in charge of the website and social media doesn't know what they're doing properly and I had the audacity to point out their errors.

I e-mailed the club to request that common sense prevails and I am unblocked, but of course there's been absolutely no response to me. I tried to phone a few times only to get absolutely no answer. I got the same when I was trying to call or e-mail about season tickets.

The customer service at the moment for anything other than walking into the shop has been atrocious. It's really putting me off having anything to do with them, including bothering to buy tickets or merchandise. Something I'm not going to be doing now until the service improves.
