Quote: super_fc "I'm just sick of all this now. How opposition fans can be intimidated by chav corner in the first place is beyond me, just ignore em ffs, theres a group of about 20-30 and I'd be suprised if any of them were over 18.
I find this whole thing quite ironic really considering that leeds fans were also causing trouble, throwing bottles etc, and at the other end of the stand someone threw an object at Lauaki. Hardly angels themselves are they? Yet according to them, we are 'the scum of rl' and all of our supporters are thugs etc, etc, I find it laughable to be honest. The reason being that because were Hull.FC, a minority of idiots giving abit of verbal abuse escalates to the whole fanbase being criticised, its always been the same. If it had been any other set of supporters the whole thing would have been laughed off, but becuase its a hull team everybody is quick to get on our backs and accuse us of being this and that, its just any excuse to have a dig and I've had enough of it. Do I condone our 'fans' causing trouble? Of course not, personally I hope they all get banned and the section of the ground is closed off. But I think this goes further than that, and as long as we are in existance we'll always be treading on glass, because like it or not, we are very disliked by a high percentage of the RL community. Rant over.'"
I couldn't agree more. What goes on in that corner is no worse then any other ground. In place like Leeds, St Helens, and Wire you have home supporters stood with the away supporters for the sole purpose that they can goad the away support. I can tell you what goes on in that corner is no where near what used to go on in 3d yet people seem to want to make it out as if we have a large group of thugs taking over the place and then glamorize what went on in 3d.
Similarly I don't condone the trowing of missiles, but I will reiterate that the first missiles where actually thrown from the Leeds section. I'm no thug and unlike most who seem to want to comment on that corner I actually sit near to that section and all I have seen is a group of mainly youngsters doing what many on here have done for years and what many others do at other clubs. Its the nature of the beast, and our our fans making out like we have some sort of huge problem is just feeding the national hatred of our club by said high percentage of the RL community.
FWIW I had friends -Leeds supporters, who come to every game at he KC when they play here because they enjoy coming here. They sat near to where the first missile was thrown, and after the game they said they was horrified at their own supporters and apologize for their behavior. Funny that isn't it if it was all chavs corners fault eh?!
