i was sat in the north stand very close to the cas supporters

it wasn't them standing that was a problem

they were very aggresive, swearing, and was told by roy holdstock to shut up, as they were making kids cry!

this just made them worse, even though it was only about 4 of them who were really a problem the stewards just made it worse!!

but they all seemed to shut up when dobbo's goal went over

I would like to see him try!

not the point, at the end of the day every side has a few div's in their support. known roy years and he wouldnt be havin words for no reason. at the end of the day, kids are around and regardless of sitting or standing kids shouldn't be getting upset by 'supporters' of any team. Like i said, unfortunately every team has em, and the cas ones (the minority) were in the north stand today.

There is no health and safety legislation that makes you have to sit down. It wil be a Hull KR policy.

...and as such should be abided by when visiting the stadium.

If there is no sign up on the stand saying you must be seated at ALL TIMES, or isn't announced over the PA system before the game, then it isn't obviously a rule, not to mention there's a quote over on the Cas board of someone saying the stewards weren't even sure if they were allowed to stand or not.

The stewards are allowed to stand. It's an integral part of stewarding. There have been experiments but they found that ejecting unruly elements was being unduly compromised by the stewards having to shuffle around on their bums.

standing or sitting being abusive to the extent where kids are getting upset could cause more prolems than there was, only takes one dad to take the law into his own hand etc. (like i said all teams have em) glad nothing came of it and can we just drop the debate about standing or sitting, if you sit or stand and its irrelevant if you are causing trouble with your mouth. still wrong, as usual the stewards get blamed, not saying their perfect but i saw kids held away from the scene by parents and thats not good at a family sport

We had this last year, We paid £20 to go in a stand we were told we had to sit in as it wasnt safe to stand up, thats what was been said by your stewards.

Sorry, but who goes to a seating stadium and sits down all game, I can guarantee every club has some fans who just dont, Any football fan would stand up etc...

At the end of the day, the cas fans knew the head steward, and eventually he didnt mind us standing as long as no trouble was caused, And it wasnt.

Were not the hooligans everyone thinks, We go for a good time, And barring 1 dispute with a Cas and Hull Kr fan, nothing was wrong today, A superb match, Of which neither side deserved to lose, Watched by 2 good sets of fans, End of

well said

fair do's if it was a minor thing just dont like seeing kids being moved out the way and upset regardless whos at fault. minority as usual.

Pity they weren't as keen in the East stand with people smoking.I couldn't believe they just walked past smokers and said nothing.(mind you they aren't mob handed like in the North stand....)

That made me chuckle.

Lad in the red kit?

Seemed to be getting a bit over excited.
