At last years final I found myself amidst 50+ drunken Leeds fans, all dressed as Jimmy Savile, who started fighting among themselves in the second half. Apart from being rubbish at fighting they just show most clubs have a moron element, not just Hull FC.

It's Wigan's fault.

From the Wigan end we saw no trouble in the stadium at all. In fact I remarked that it was the first time in about 10 years that this was the case

That bloody McIlorum again.

Thug

This will always happen when you get fans who go for the up, I can assure you the next game these idiots go to will probably the next final we get to.

However I dont see what good posting this type of thread does, all it does is give ammo to have a go at the good FC fans who support the club through thick n thin. Maybe you should report what you saw to the relevant authorities and not people on a rugby forum. Which would be more productive.

So basically your saying discussing anything on here is pointless as anything anyone says would br better said to the player club referee RFL or whoever and not discussed on a forim. Very strange logic there.

For the record I did not see anything at the game to warrent this diacussion but if others did I see no problem with them posting about it.

The fans fighting in the ground were in the upper tear, in the corner furthest from the Royal Box. There were about 15 of them fighting and the stewards came in to deal with them they didn't even eject anyone. I did report the coin throwing to a steward, they effectively shrugged their shoulders. That said whilst the poor stewarding operation contributed to the situation other Hull fans need to challenge the behaviour of those wearing your colours.

A friend of mine was on the train back north yesterday night. A large group of Hull fans were fighting and were arrested by BTP.

If this behaviour keeps happening we'll end up being policed like football fans, which will be a real shame.

I was in the Hull end as a neutral also and like others have said I didn't notice anything at all.

I was in Club Wembley with my daughter (15) and we saw 2 Leeds and Hudds fans having a heated argument offering each other out etc and had to be pulled apart by there mates then the stewards intervened ,grown men by the way,a bit of alcohol we all have daft fans hey ho

Where did I say not to discuss the actually game or players performances. What I am saying is complaining about how a few supporters behaved is no good on a forum, it would be better productive to report it to authorities. If you got attacked would you complain on here or ring the police ?

Never saw any trouble amongst any fans, whatever colours they were weren't wearing. Only trouble I had was understanding those from darn sarf.

Also as a neutral at the ground in the Hull end and didn't see anything going on

There were 6 involved in the fight, and the stewards were useless.

As I turned around (it was a couple of blocks over from me, and rows above), a lad in a bright turqouise shirt and a lad in a Hull shirt were swinging at each other. Then the mates of the lad in the Hull shirt backed him up and then all piled onto the guy in turquoise.

It may have looked like more got involved but, from what I could see, they were mainly trying to separate things (although there was a fair bit of verbals).

Stewards did nothing. Took them minutes to react. Eventually the lad in turquoise was dragged away by stewards but he was still screaming, shouting, and running his mouth at everyone around. It looked from that that he would have been the instigator and had bitten off more than he could chew, but I didn't see the very start of it as I was watching the game.

It's embarrassing for all involved and associated when these things happen and there isn't really an excuse for it. Thankfully it wasn't in a position where it would show up on TV and really show up the sport.

All that said, this was the only trouble I saw during all my time down there this weekend despite the large mix of fans (which you might not get with other sports).

Group hug, anyone?
