couldnt agree more that is what sets leauge aside from football ,played hard on the field by tough men but off the field where all together as rugby supporters where a cottage industry if we carnt help each other knowone else will

Well said

Well its good to see that some of the traits of fans from the Boulevard still run strong amongst Hull FC fans.

We have always been soft every time a clubs in trouble ,the fans have put there hands in there pockets, played amateur teams and collected for them as well.

ALways known to do the unexpected to

If our last board had there way we would be in same position ,so think on

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....

Some pretty narrow minded,heartless morons on here. I clapped the Bulls on cos I do have sympathy for the players and fans afterall it's not their fault for the club's situation. As for this "Would they do it if it was us" attitude what's wrong with showing a bit of respect and class and yes I believe decent fans would.

As for the last try I didn't clap it but I tell you what,while it was frustrating seeing them offload it so many times it was still a cracking try and if we had scored a try like that EVERYBODY would have been wetting themselves.

People really do need to wake up and smell the coffee i.e. get over the past and look to the future. Why on earth do some people feel the need to mention Radders and Vaikona in this thread at a time when we too had an inept board? We are moving in the right direction and last night typified what the rugby league community/family is all about. It's not about the past, given where we were not so long ago with the LLoyd regime - it's about the future of the sport and Hull FC. Last night was great it was especially good to see the younguns play and earn their stripes.

Come on u Hull....

Clap next friday..... It will never ever happen even if the whinging rednecks put on the greatest show of rugby ever seen.

FFS, you have changed your tune.

There is a difference between applauding genuinely top class play to cheering the opposition.

Make your mind up.

I was sat near some Leeds fans at last years CC final. Most of them stood and applauded Joel Tompkins try, as it was such a great thing to witness live.

The heady days of the Boulevard in the late 70's and early 80's, the 3d would often acknowledge good play from the opposition.

I clapped for the Bradford fans, who have been lied too for months/years and don't deserve it. Our own fans have been lied to for decades under various boards (just look at the 'debt free' claims of recent years, or the drug scandal coverup) so I have sympathy for other clubs fans under the same situation.

There's no wonder our fans are unpopular with a lot of folk. At times we are some of the most insular, short-sighted, and sometimes plain idiotic excuses for human beings you can have the misfortune to encounter.

well said mate

Well said.

Some of the comments on this thread are embarrassing.

Let's make this clear. RUGBY LEAGUE IS A FAMILY SPORT.

I applauded them out and put a few coins in the bucket and wished them all the best because they are part of this family.

It's a pretty sad situation when you can't show appreciation for good play by the opposition.

And remember. WE WON THE GAME!

Lets face it if all the bradford glory supporters hadn't fecked off when the success dried up then they probably wouldnt be in this situation.

Carn't wait for next week aswell im going to clap every rovers try, lets see how long it is befor someone gets the hump with me.

I am taking it from your poor spelling that you have a fairly big problem with reading as well?
