You need to grow up. Those that clapped were showing their support for the fans going through a rough time It's not their fault, as we know ourselves.
And for their levelling try well as much as I was pi55ed off with hull for not stopping it it was great off the cuff supporting rugby.
People weren't supporting or encouraging Bradford but showing why rl is a close knit supportive community.

| I came over last night from Bradford expecting some stick (no offence intended!), and to some extent embarrassed by the way our problems have been handled in part..
I had a fantastic evening, the Hull fans and club were brilliant and a real credit to the sport..unfortunatly for me i also support Bradford City (what a week its been!) and would never see the solidarity we experienced tonight in football.
Good game, the usual head scratching moments for both sets of fans created by Alibert. Hopefully we will get to return the hospitality at Odsal later in the season, and both teams at full strength.
Best of luck for the season, i found FC very enjoyable to watch tonight, quick and mobile.

| What is wrong with showing a small amount of support for a club in trouble? The majority of the stadium clapped widnes when they got their first try against us, again to just show some support. I don't reckon any other teams fans would do that! We may be hated by every team but at least we support rugby league!

That was sarcastic clapping.......I didnt clap them on either and as for the leveling try....it was bloody bad defence by us and a bloody great big forward pass at the end of it.

icons3d44_files/4750-863FALH-msnicons.jpg A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?" The crow answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. All of a sudden a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it. Management lesson: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.:icons3d44_files/4750-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

| Really disappointed with some of the attitudes on here. The players and the fans cannot be blamed for the financial situation they are in. I am glad that we showed some compassion to their fans and thought it was one of those events that make rugby league so special. It reminds me when we played Sts in the CC semi and beat them. When we walked outside the Sts fans lined the street outside and applauded the Hull fans. Nice touch and that is what sport is all about for me.

| I don't think it's a case of becoming soft, I think it's a matter of respecting each rugby club and their players/fans and the sport uniting as one when a club is in difficulty.

which is garbage, Bulls are a failing business and should be left to their own devices under the current board, I have some sympathy for the sponge finger wavers, but not a lot.

No argument from me there. Wasn't too happy about it at the time. I was just trying to make the point that rugby league fans behave in a different manner to some in other sports (generally).

A rather short-sighted and sweeping statement.
Sure the Bradford board [iappear[/i to be at some fault for their current predicament - although I'm unaware of all the facts as are you.
As for the Bardford fans, they are not all "sponge finger wavers". They have supporters that have been following the club for donkey's years through good times and bad, just like all clubs.
I'm quite proud of the way the Hull FC supporters showed solidarity with their Bradford counterparts last night. It makes a refreshing change to get postive feedback rather than reading about fighting, beer throwing etc.

| Quote: airliebird58 "I clapped the Bulls onto the field and I'll tell you why. It's because I remember being at the Boulevard,watching what we all thought would be Hull FC's last game, it was gutting, and I wouldn't wish it on any fans. Ok people say, They wouldn't bother about us, or so and so wouldn't clap them on, but we are Hull FC, and are to my mind are wee bit special.
Thank you and good night!'" Well said

But the most annoying thing was hull fans clapping bradfords try that tied the game at 18-18'"
Well its good to see that some of the traits of fans from the Boulevard still run strong amongst Hull FC fans.

Great post....as I said to the sponge finger waving bloke on a quad bike wearing a monkey suit, I will donate the same amount that Bradford gave us in the late 90's....
