Wasn't at the game today and it's sad to hear of trouble, but I seem to remember a thread praising the Hull KR fans last season for travelling to the HJ in good numbers, good voice and happy to have some friendly banter.

They have bad apples as do every club, but is there really a need to tar all with the same brush?

Over use of the word lot there.

I don't think so mate, I'll stand by what I said.

There were A LOT of Rovers fans that didn't appear to be a full shilling. There were some however, who were perfectly fine and a credit to the club they were supporting.

Some Hull KR fans getting off a coach on Winwick Road looked very drunk before the game. Alcohol usually contributes to such silly behaviour that we witnessed today.

Same bloke that caused the hussle last season at your place aswell - such a shame as even though we were truely beaten we were singing for about 30minutes none stop even through half time.

Always the same group of people from each club - hopefully both clubs work together and ban them from all sporting events

Now, you see this is where the problem lies. We had serious incidents down Orford/Dallam about 3-4 years ago wasn't it in a match involving Hull FC NOT Hull Kingston rovers, when, 'fans', widely accepted as Hull City fans came with batons/baseball bats and what other nonsense and thuggishly kicked off with some Wire element.

Quite clearly, you believe that they wern't football fans and by this post your tarring Hull Kingston Rovers with actions made by these 'people' and a game which involved Hull FC.

I also believe the 'stewards', I use the term loosely because they are absolute dire at handling a situation. For what it's worth, I frequent Warrington Town Centre on a regular basis and it's the same boneheads that deal with incidents in town horrifically that do the stewarding at games are taking the same stance because of said incidents and their heavy handed approach towards innocent people in the crowd today were appauling, it's obvious with a large police/steward presence in a crowd is going to cause tension, why the need for so many numbers?

And surely your not so naive to think that Warrington fans situated in the away stand, and I don't mind a small pocket but quite a number, had nothing to do with people being thrown out? I'm all for standing with opposition supporters if they aren't their for the sole reason of winding people up.

Lastly, congratulations on the win, good luck for the rest of the season.

Nothing at all to do with Wire fans in the same stand, our own morons.


With regards to the stewards; the old chap that was on a stretcher was because the stewards knocked him over trying to get to the fight, and he hit his head on the concrete step.
Also when have people been stopped for taking there top off at a rugby game before?

You fight your own fans, you fight your own fans, you stupid barstewards you fight your own fans.

I can take most of that on board but the bit in red..??? Doesn't seem to make a difference to other supporters?

Not shifting blame here but why were the kids who played the curtainraiser put in the away end?

I think the phrase "storm in a tea cup" should be uttered. I'm a West Stand season ticket holder and was in there today and saw or heard no trouble. The only thing I knew was when the South Stand fans started cheering and waving at the West Stand and then I got a load of texts asking me why it was "all kicking off" in the West. I wasn't aware of anything and we all went down to the bar and toilets in the concourse and saw nothing. At the end of the game we waited by the exit for a friend and all the Rovers fans filed out in good order and spirits, without the merest hint of animoisty. That said, there were about 6 police cars and two paddy wagons outside the West after the game, so clearly, something had happened.

I have been in the West for every one of Rovers' visits to the HJ since they were promoted and have never seen a sniff of trouble; and if something happened today, it was a little bit of nothing and people should give it no credibility. Rovers fans are all right and support their team well and in good numbers.

Just remember some of our fans fought with each other at Wembley, not good for any team to have associated with their club

Funny that as the security firm that Warrington Wolves engaged to handle incidents when "force" is needed do not actually work the doors in Warrington. This is done specifically so that any town centre problems are not brought to the game and vice-versa. As for the heaving police presence, I think it was initially ZERO officers rising to THREE. The reason that the security firm go into the crowd in number is that the incident has got to the stage that a large number of security personnel are needed to deal with the situation. Ever wonder why this particular group of security staff (not stewards...they are a completely different group of people) are only involved when its gots heated> COZ ITS THEIR JOB!!!

The Warrington fans in the West stand (note the lack of the word AWAY as Warrington dont have a designated AWAY stand!!) were nowhere near the incident, were not involved in the incident and never seems to get involved in any such similar incidents with other clubs (unless you count Salford, who always like fighting themselves as well!

Like the VAST majority of the fans at the game today (Wolves&Rovers) I only wish that the clubs involved and the RFL find a way of taking care of these mindless idiots (although i did here that Cheshire constabulary "will be taking care" of some fans kicked out for incidents separate to this one).

The West stand is always used for the organisation of the kids rugby. Apart from a few games its the one location where there is the space to house 8 a number of local schools. A lot of the kids will relocate to the other stands for the game as they are season ticket holders. Secondly..... IT ISNT THE AWAY END, its just the stand (open to anybody!!) that the tickets are given to the away clubs for logistical reasons.

Did not know west stand had season ticket holders, If so i want 3
