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.
