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.

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?

Good, I will applaud them

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

tony e, brandesburton says...
8Devon Bull,the individual you refer to is my granddaughters partner and was taken to BRI for attention,my granddaughter and her parents were also attacked,incidently they are all longstanding Bulls fans.The cowards who perpetuated this attack did so simply because he was wearing a Leeds shirt.I hope that when these cowards are identified the powers at odsal take the appropriate action.This behaviour is neither warranted or acceptable in any sport[/i


From the T&A forum. Doesn't seem to match the account given on here! Someone is telling porkies!

Maybe its time for some sort of segregation in Bradford v Leeds games? I know its only a minority from both clubs but this sort of thing has been simmering for a while and all it takes is a couple of idiots to spark it off..

No thanks to segregation, the banter in the Tetley stand with the Rhinos fans next to us was second to none. Youre right its just a couple of idiots and so simply dealing with them surely the best way forward?

I'm generally against segregation, a good friend of mine is a Rhino (apart from that he's ok) and we enjoy watching the games together on occasions, but..for the there is always the feeling that its going to kick off if you stand in the middle of the opposing fans and you're shouting for your team...Try standing in the middle of the South stand in a Bulls shirt.

Fair point, but the simple solution is we don't stand in such areas. Voluntary segregation as it were. But I'd hate for families such as the Rhinos fans we were sat with not to be allowed in the Tetley stand, when there was zero chance of anything happening other than good natured banter. I'd rather individuals were identified and thrown out.

So, have you and your Dad been down to the Police station to give your explanations for your part in the attack on this guy yet?

I think we'll leave this here now thanks.
