I was in the east stand and never heard any chanting aimed at Thomas, I was pleasantly surprised by this as it would have been a completely out of order if homophobic chanting had been used as it has been (reportedly) at a few other grounds.

Thats o.k. mate,wasn`t having a pop,just think its a bit unfair when any club gets tarred with the same brush because of a brainless minority.

No probs m8.

If a Welsh club coming to play in England dont get the typical "Sheep" chant then the game must be being played behind closed doors! As for the Raynor chants, well its true he more than likely is going down we didnt tell his family anything other than what they already have guessed to be the case! The bloke is a fraudster, a top paid RL player needing to top up the pennies by dealing in fake ink cartridges?!! Not only is he a fraudster he's an idiot, he got caught once but then carried on after being let off, if anyone deserved the abuse from the East stand it was him.

I expected Thomas to get more abuse but he didnt get any as far as I heard. Had we been performing poorly I suspect these may have crept in to try and unsettle the Crusaders. Much Much worse has been sang at Craven Park I can assure you!

if you mean the "rentboy" chant then that was aimed at Raynor too, a few near me chanting it early on, as well as the going down stuff, didnt hear a bad word said about Gareth Thomas TBH.

Gareth Thomas didn't get any chants about him. HTH.

As for the other songs, they hardly warrant a mention. Would you prefer us to clap the oppo on to the field?

There was the odd comment aimed at Gareth Thomas but only by individuals, he wasn't lucky enough to have a song sung all about him

I have always been a fan of Raynor,but I agree with what you say.Pure greed,nothing more.

They were carrying out a bet that they could line up more stewards than there were Crusaders fans

Raynor got a far worse reception from an ex-team mate last time he was in Hull.

Thomas was greeted fairly well where I was stood, one young lad made a comment about his sexuality but was told to grow up. Raynor got $hit, because he has give the crowd it when he played for FC, once he was observed flicking a 'V' at Rovers fans after scoring in one of the friendlies when we were in NL1. I don't have a problem with giving the likes of him some grief, he deserves it.

On the playing side, i though Thomas looked ok, maybe a switch to the back row, he is certainly big and strong enough and can take whatever is dished out to him physically.

So it looks like the chants towards Raynor where indeed [url=http://www.sporthull.co.uk/headlines/FC-star-Raynor-jailed-15-months/article-2168652-detail/article.html=#0000FFcorrect[/url
