If such items like 'smoke bombs' were allowed in the stadium then they wudnt be on the list of banned items allowed in the stadium, obviously the Rovers fan who brought it into the stadium couldnt read the sign !!! another question is 'how did he/her get it into the stadium in the first place?'
With respect to stewarding, certain ones once they put on that yellow or orange (if you can read) coat, they think they have the powers of police officers, those who went to Warrington in play-offs and saw their stewards also using excessive force as well.
Im afraid i cant see them changing unless a great number of supporters write in to complain, it is a little harsh when all away fans are allowed to stand all the game but home fans aren't allowed. Grounds like hudds and wigan which are all seating you are not allowed to stand and are told not to by stewards if you do, so why do the KC stewards let all away suppoorters stand ???
Apart fm that most supporters behaved very well and brought a good following to and out sung us Hull supporters, but hey its a friendly.
Anyway rant over bring on the new season (as it hasnt started yet for all those dobbins who think it has)

Tell that to the people of Bradford

Why what happened at Bradford?

Do you seriously mean that?

U Jokin ??? Bradford city fire ??

Are you seriously drawing a comparison between today and Valley Parade?

You do realise these such smoke bombs are pocket size! Now I don't know what the home fans at the KC have to go through to get in but I didn't have my pockets searched and I'm certain nobody else did either!

Also not sure anybody has said it isn't a banned item but then I would guess you drive at or under the speed limit at ALL times? Never creep over by a few mph? But the sign tells you it is wrong...

I hope for your sake that Bradford Rugby Football Club had a smoke bomb/flare going off at a friendly because if you are indeed referring to the fire that killed 56 people at Valley Parade due to a dropped cigarette butt/match onto excess rubbish accumulated beneath the stand then you are a bell end of gigantuan proportions.


No comparison can be made between setting off a flare/cracker/firework and the events that unfolded at Valley Parade....

I'm sure you'd have the same opinion if it had been the other way round and it was a Hull fan.

The reality imo, is somewhere in the middle of some the reactions on this thread. Smoke bombs have no place in a Rugby League ground and so anybody setting one off should be removed from the stadium. At the same time, it really isn't a big deal worth spending a lot of time worrying about - they are harmless, nobody tried to set fire to the stadium or harm anybody.

Does anyone know what time the parade starts this afternoon?

Apparently there's an open top bus parade down Holderness Road today to celebrate the friendly win?

I'd like to go down, give the boys a clap and set off a smoke bomb.

I thought he was on about Bradford bulls, but I don't see how the Bradford fire has any similarities to a smoke bomb at the kc.

It's a banned incendiary device, no place at a sports ground, but neither have some of the morons who support both clubs.

Wonder what you thought of the fc fans fighting their own stewards,still it gives the cheerleaders a break.!

ooh look, another scroat troll. how very original.

He's finished his chicken pie now

Lot of wet blankets on here. You would've been useful if that lethal weapon had started an uncontrollable blaze in the north stand.

No mention of the massive stink bomb let off in the east stand???? unless that was just the general whiff of the unwashed??

not shocked at all that we lost its stupid to have a derby friendly now that rovers are in super league they will be over the moon they won its there grand final after all the kc is the best ground they will ever play at


but im just glad we did not get any injuries unlike the red and sh*tes going all out to put big hits in and to hurt the opposition. we did the right thing and used it to get a few things right like the starting team against Leeds and we will have achieved that. now 2 weeks of training to get the ball handling and plays sorted and ill see you all at leeds for a real match to see how far we have come then i will judge our performance against a good team!!!!!

Thanks for the coin thrower from chav corner my 7 year old daughters got a lump on her head.Can't agree more with the song ....YOUR THE SCUM OR RUGBY LEAGUE

Have you reported that to the club? They have CCTV in the ground.

I have to say, I was not a million miles away from "Chav corner" and I certainly didn't witness coin's been thrown. If that did happen, it should be reported to the police.

Yes Bal,told a steward and he said cctv will be looked at today.

Quite agree can't see all the hysteria to a win or a loss in a match for that the winner gets 0pts?? Listening to Gentle he tried some things out that he hadn't had chance to in a game situation and got what he needed to out of it which is what these games are about.
