I don't recall saying there was a problem with it...

On a personal note Headingley is one of the only grounds where i've seen a fight with Leeds fans stood in the away end. It was silly really. Anyway Never mind, have a train to catch.

Never said you did. Purely offering my opinion on KR fans standing at the side with us. Wasn't aimed at anyone. If it was, I'd have quoted whoever it was.

Apologies, read between lines.

I mainly wondered if it was a historical thing given they have only been in SL like 3 years.

I think that may be a part of it. In the lower leagues, there's more room, all fans tend to just stand together without being designated "ends". Certainly when I've been to lower league matches, it's been a lot like that.

At Headingley, more than any other ground, I've noticed a lot of home fans tend to stay in the "away end" (the reverse of the KR fans being in with the home fans). There always seems to be quite a number of Leeds fans on the West terrace. Or is that just because there isn't enough room in the south stand?

At both Leeds and St Helens there are plenty of 'home fans' in the 'away end', don't see the problem myself.

It's a shame that a minority of fans tarnish the name of the whole club. We at the Bulls have a group of idiots but not on the same scale as Hull KR. Having to shut the bar 2 years running because of the Hull KR fans is very poor.

What steps have Hull KR taken to eradicate their numpty fans?

The difference between those two I've found, is that at Leeds, they are generally friendly people who you can chat with about the match without expecting abuse (I say generally, not every one of them). At Saints, it tends to mainly be the chav element that stand in the away end, trying to get a rise out of people. Perhaps that's just because St. Helens has a larger percentage of chavs than almost anywhere in the world though!

What exactly happened in the bar, wasn't aware of anything at the game and never heard anything on the coach on the way home so can't really comment.

The group I was with were turned away at half time and told the bar had been shut due to Hull fans fighting.

I have absolutely no problem what so ever with away fans standing wherever they want but this is the second time the bar has had to be closed because of Hull Kr fans.

It's no generalisation mate. Most of the Hull KR fans are great but there is a large contingent that again caused trouble. It's not a minority either you can hide behind this argument all you like but it's a problem for Hull KR and it's not just at Bradford either. Like I said make Hull KR pay for the extra Police that has to be put on and they will sort their fans out.

Most of the people on here will recognise me as the sort of person that isn't judgemental nor do I normally react like this. I've never called a set of fans on here before. It's no joke and people serving behind the bar at a Rugby League ground deserve more respect than I am willing to afford Hull KR fans. What did they do wrong?

"It's not a minority I'm afraid they are pigs." - seems pretty judgemental to me.

I'm a Hull KR fan, but I'm not a pig and I think that you're out of order with that comment.

I'm getting really annoyed with these "fans" that make trouble and generate this sort of reaction from other groups of fans. I think that we take more fans to away games than many other clubs, and this may make some problems more likely. It's not acceptable though and I agree it's time to sort it out. Presumably, the stewards and police will have the names of the people causing the problem today so can't Rovers do something about it, cancelling season tickets for example?

We all paid for our tickets, so I guess that this contributed towards the cost of extra stewards.

So what actually happened? How many people were 'fighting'? I'm presuming these people would have been dealt with by the police if it had been such a bad incident and that their details will be passed on to our club by your club. The same thing happened last season, I was at that game too yet never saw or heard anything about it until I got home and read it on here. I'm not doubting what you are saying but I for one want these people removing from our ranks so the more information that is passed on the better.

I don't know, I expect it was made up nonsense by the bar staff.

I can see both sides of the argument really. It's annoying to turn up and find your usual space is taken.

However, it seemed I was just one of 5 bulls fans in our area at one stage which amused the KR fans. We had good some good banter with 2 guys infront and 2 women stood on the row behind with no hint of any trouble, it was a pretty good laugh.

someone ripped the blinds down again in the club house for a 2nd year running,its simple if they don't want people to watch the game from the windows don't let them in in the 1st place.

Did anyone make them go into the bar?

Funny how no other clubs fans have a problem with this.

Me and the guys I go with commented on the police presence, something I don't remember seeing for many other games, I'd guess the trouble was due to the large number of fans sat in the touchdown out of the rain drinking...why pay for a ticket, travel if your just going to sit in the bar. I'd imagine they'd want to see the game by looking out of the window and we all know you can't once the games started...perhaps they didn't like being told no

Anyone know what happened to the Mexican wrestler? Quite funny when both sets of fans boo'd the stewards when they surrounded him.

So you have a bar inside the ground with blinds down so you can't watch the game? What's the point of that then?

[iApparently [/iit's to gives a contingent of KR (though none from any other clubs) fans something to do



Perhaps they had no thumbs and couldn't fathom out how to work them

My old Grandad and a KR grandad had an argument, it's was so funny. It's all banter at the end of the day, just look after yourelf and yours and you'll be fine.

Is that really the point here? The club obviously has this rule for a reason and all other visiting fans manage to adhere to it.

So the club was closed because someone attempted to open the blinds to watch the game? Still not alot of information considering the ferocity of the opening post, who thinks we are ALL pigs. I won't condone trouble at any games but at the moment, like last time, there seems to be an awful lot of people doing alot of talking about something that happened, yet nobody who was actually there and witnessed it has posted what actually happened.

Many, many of us came over and watched the game, we have a few who have a few too many shandies and become cringeworthy with their boasts and comments but as for us all being PIGS because of a few idiots, well, like I said earlier that is just offensive.

Oh get over it. I like HKR fans better than most but let it go will you. You sound like the moaning Bradford fans that get wound up over something and nothing.

How come the bradford fans that dont like away fans in the "home" stand havent complained about this to your own club? maybe then it would state on the tickets that the stand behind the sticks is the away stand, or a small fence up?

Or a cage maybe?
