Tut Tut, and they made you a Mod, how can that be right

because i found out that supporting my own club was far more important than anything else in the ground

The easiest way to resolve this is for those who were involved to just channel their passion in a different direction. Singing, "sing your hearts out for the lads" shows how much they want to support the players out on the field, and it shows that they were trying to get the rest of us involved in the singing for them.

Its just a pity that they started getting behind the team after the stewards had to step in and after the worst were ejected.

As has been said when they get behind the team they make a cracking atmosphere and bring a lot to the club, its just the other side that spoils it.

2 Possible answers to this problem:

1) WiSCA employ someone to be a 'bouncer' on the buses. This 'bouncer' or steward would need to be of decent calibre - one who can gain some common sense in these matters - which seems to go out of the window when the 'yellow coats' come out. (It seems that they could have handled this a whole lot better). This would put the cost of the coach up!



2) At the expense of our own time and enjoyment, some of us 'senior' supporters take the time to explain to these lads the reason to calm down and the consequences of not doing so (i.e. you may be ejected - and barred from Belle Vue if you don't!)

Don't appreciate the problems these lads bring, but they're not the first and won't be the last - so we have to deal with it.

BUT, the way the 'yellow coats' deal with it is NOT the answer - it too is 'antagonistic'!

I normally have a word with the lads regarding the relentless Swearing in the songs & most of the time they listen & calm it down, But i don't know how many more times i can keep carrying on telling them untill the penny is going to drop.

The young lads help bring a very good atmosphere to the away games & i would not want that to stop,So from now on i will undertake to talking to the lads before our matches & make them relies the harm they could be doing to our reputation

Absolutely - and the atmosphere was brilliant as a result of them. That's why it is sad when all it needs is some calmness and common sense - it's bets for everyone.

Cheers acko - you're a star!

Too right, i did think of leaving this locked but we can't hide from it, it needs dealing with so so outcome is to the clubs benefit.

I think the lads will try to ensure this does not happen again and appreciate that we want them as part of the fan group, a bit of thought for others goes a long way.

I think the we all hate ull chant was coming from frustration in the first half due to, a wrong decision from the ref, the stewards maybe and the hull fans moaning evertime we made a tackle or everytime we passed the ball there was a cry of forward and i could see many folk getting rather annoyed and joined in with that chant!

Grow up

I would say 75% of the fans joined in with that and as its been sung alongside "you'll never catch a Cod" and "Sing when you're fishing" IMO is not meant in a nasty way and i doubt anyone from Hull would take it seriously or be offended by it.


The "only sing when your winning" got thrown back at us and is all part of the banter.

Correct AL all adds to the atmosphere as long as no-one gets carried away etc
