| Not going to say too much on this as I personally didn't see any trouble, but if someone is being a tool get the stewards to sort it out, that said if someone took a swing for my family you don't know how you would react.
General point is this sort of idiotic behaviour is thankfully in the minority. I travelled to the 2003 CC and 2005 GF both on Bradford organised bus ( as Leeds fan). My mate is bulls fan I sorted tickets he sorted transport. Both trips were excellent great banter, yes I got the pee taken out of me and I gave it back but was all good natured, hopefully this can carry on and not let the odd iddiots from both sides ruin a good tradition. Unlike at football I feel in rugby I can stand with my mates who support opposition and not get chinned and I hope
idiots don't ruin this for most good fans

That's a pretty big brush you've got to tar us all with.
As has already been said it's a very small minority. There were a few older blokes around me who went to try and calm it down as the stewards were doing nothing at all. I can confirm what 1 poster said, the steward near us went over to the incident and watched it happen. The fans around were all waving at the stewards to try and get it sorted but they were slow and didn't look bothered tbh.
There's no need really. The Bradford fans are certainly in the wrong, but when people have had a few beers it's not the cleverest thing to do taunting the home fans. Not saying they should have reacted, they should have risen above it, but ed up blokes don't.
I hope the ones who ran in to make it into a mass brawl instead of a little punch up should be the ones who are banned.
Just about every RL fan you meet are decent and honest, and I don't think there's many who want to see that at a rugby game.

We should have got you to sort it, sounds so easy

Why can't I go in the South Stand in a Bulls shirt?

The next time I see Leeds on the wrong end of a close scoreline at Headingley I expect to see away supporters dancing in the front of the South Stand.

You can and if you do, i'll buy you a beer.
I had a Wire fan next to me in full attire in the Southstand when we played Wigan. Was more than welcome!
But, if you buy your ticket from Bradford which will be a ticket for the West Terrace, they do not allow transfer into the Southstand.
If you bought a Southstand ticket though, you can get in to any standing area.

Make sure the video gets to the police and get them banned.

Picked out the two main points in your post for me.
Sometimes if it kicks off it can't be helped to jump in, no matter how calm you usually are.
The second one's the key one though, There may be a few idiots who look for a fight, but the majority are there looking for a good game.

| Quote: JBT1991 "the leeds fan in question was taunting bulls fans which i said to his mother or the older woman he was with that he cant do that as it creates tension and if he wants to act like that then stand with the leeds fans. The woman reacted angrily to my comment and told me to love off and insulted my family including my little cousins and older grandparent. The leeds fan then started to point and shout while being constrained by his father or something like that and a part which i didnt see where a bulls fan threw a punch which was broken up. While the leeds fan walked off he came back down and threw another punch at someone from behind which a member of my family took offence to. It was then and only then that a few member s of security tried to break up the brawl.'"
You know mate, every time you post on this incident, your version changes!
From where I'm sitting, it looks like you were the cause of the whole thing.
A fan of the opposing team, stood with his family group consisting of both Bulls and Leeds fans takes the mickey, and you took exception to his celebrations. You gobbed off at a woman in that group, who rightly told you to do one, causing the Leeds fan in her company to react, and provided the opportunity for a Bradford fan to throw the first punch.
You also stated that it was your father who was also involved in the latter attack on the leeds fan, and was himself thrown down the stairs by the stewards. You then have the brass neck to criticise the Bulls fan who was a group member of the attacked Leeds fan, for describing your lot and the rest of participants in the violence as scum!
Spot on as far as I am concerned.
I'm sure you'll do the right thing, and both you and your Dad will be taking a trip down to your nearest Police station to give a statement.
After all, everybody deplores violence and the p1ssed up s who indulge in it, eh?

Fair play to you for admitting your involvement, you could just as easily have stayed silent. I think a few of us can't really glean what actually happened from these posts but you've explained it as you saw it.
Might it be wise to wait and see if the Bulls / police want to have a chat before you say too much more on here though?

Don't talk wet mate. Two years ago there was a mass brawl in the South stand between Leeds fans. That was when they announced they weren't letting kids in anymore without an adult.
I've no idea what happened on Thursday so can't comment on it but I can tell you it's an isolated incident as is any fight at any Rugby league ground.
If anyone's been hurt it's a bit more serious than points scoring by keyboard warriors.

If you want to take what i have written as that then so be it but i assure i have not changed my view on the events. I posted on here to put straight any rumours towards what happened and thankyou to those who could see that. If Bradford or Police want to question me then so be it as i will take responsibility for any actions but i doubt others will in all honesty.

| I cannot understand some people we go to watch the greatest game in the World and they want to cause trouble
I go to Bradford a lot these days our friends( of 50years) live in Idle I go in my Hull F C gear and I have some banter with Bradford fans but it's all good fun ..mind you at my age it take me all my time to stand never mind swing a punch I think if I did I would fall flat on my face if I did.. I watch your game on Sky and I wanted Bradford to win .Your team is my second team. Our friends wife cannot understand when I tell her I cheer for Bradford when you play HKR .Good luck against Catalan hope it's a win for you
