Very good post Ian.

I was in the etihad stand, but wondered why they had been kicked out. I assumed that it must have been for aggro, but I said to my mate that they have every right to stand up for what they believe in.

pretty poor effort tho



could of gone to asda and got a t shirt for £2 and got the printing done for £6,it would of looked a damn site better then the effort put in to them ones,and as for the banner







like other people have said people are entitled to voice there opinions,the only thing im finding to be bad is the fact the fans are bickering between them selfs.

Ian generally speaking I agree with this and most of what you put, but without sounding like Ja Rule Quins have done 2/3rds of what you ask for this season, Leeds and Sts away. We have gone to their back yard and come away with a very spirited victory at a place we hardly ever win.
Its a small start and I believe a sign that the players are behind the coach. If they are to a man then we can see things grow. A couple of back to back victories and we will see confidence grow. Unfortunately at the moment its very fragile. The crowd is hostile and the players anxious. We were 10 mins away from mass cries of Agar out yesterday but the players responded and so did the fans.
Demonstrations during a game do not help the players. Equally censorship from the club is a massive no no. Those responsible should be ashamed of themselves. That can undo years of great off field work. That is the danger now.

Yeah - comparing the actions of the club to those of a murderous dictator is in no way going completely OTT.

Really.

What a ridiculous analogy

Who took down banner / chucked them out??

To quote it as it is yes however, the analogy was meant to mean 'free speach and democracy, which we all have.
I don't personally agree with what they did and all the agro that this causes is pretty ridiculous. One way or the other these events are not going to please everyone, why don't people just get behind the team for once.
As for the Gadaffi scenario, nothing we have to endure is anywhere near what those poor people are going through - it's not even on this planet.

I'd guess the local stewards for public safety if there was actually bother starting because of it. Wouldn't think it's censorship by the club.

I think people know what Ian meant with his analogy but as usual it is getting blown out of proportion. Whether people agree with "Agar Out" or "Agar In" each group has the right to let their feelings be known. However if they are being abusive with their protest they should be stopped.
The fact our club are doing everything in their power to remove any visible signs of unrest is creating a divide amongst the supporters and that is not a good thing to be creating. I have been protesting against Agar in my own way for a long time however I always get behind the team come game time. For some reason certain people just assume if you are anti Agar you do not support the team.

The big banner was causing no bother at all. It was placed at the back of the stand and causing no harm to anyone. The steward who took it down explained our club had requested it to be taken down. So nothing to do with public safety, more to do with protecting the clubs image in public.

Ah ok then. If the club have requested it to be taken down and the steward has got that right then that really is pretty poor by Hull FC.
