The reason why we are all fans is because we are are not good enough to play the game and we have no clue how hard and fast it is

well said roofs....but can you speak up please...we're that far ahead of you I had trouble hearing you

Oh dear

Yes totally agree been meaning to start a post on this subject for a while. There are some right idiots who go to Craven park who have probably never played the game, know naff all about rugby and are just a pain in the @rse at times. They are so fickle and as soon as a player makes a mistake they are given a load of foul abuse. An example today was when Hodgson dropped the ball at a tap 20 and was then called " " this couldn't be any further than the truth.

I fully expect us to be 5 places behind you at the end of the season.....but for now it is a valid post
Has willy arrived yet?

Why dont the club ban such fans or at least give them a warning ?

If the abuse was as bad as stated and a steward was in attendance it should be nailed on.

OMG, have you had your memory erased of the last few seasons GF?!



We're a bigger club, we contribute more to SL and have more then 4x the support, so enjoy your couple of weeks at the top and then...





In an case, with the years of preferential treatment and millions from the RFL, you sure as hell should be top of the league.

It's a conspiracy that Quins are top of the League. The RFL have told all the teams to lose to them so that as table toppers the crowds will build at the Stoop

Can fully believe that.

Making our way down the steps and along the front of the East Stand with five mins to go, we witnessed so called Rovers fans abusing other Rovers fans. Sadly our success seems to have attracted an element we didn't see a few years ago. These also seem to be the same people who turn up with 2 mins to kick off and squeeze in in front of you, even though you've been there an hour and a half, then squeeze past you again to go to the bar, then come back, then squeeze past you to go to the toilet, repeat until half time when they disappear for a bit, then come back and do exactly the same throughout the second half.

Must be a "Hull" thing Trace,could be talking about some of us there.

We saw that bloke at the bottom of the East Stand hurling abuse at those leaving early. Surprised nobody stuck their head on him to be honest.

Thought it was only Hull supporters did that mate.

That has to be one of the worst ever statements........

I do agree on the abuse bit tho.
Some people express their passion in differant ways and unfortunately some go over board.

BANG ON DAWN I WAS IN THE GOLF STAND WITH MY SON THE VERBAL ABUSE AT THE ROVERS PLAYERS BY DRUNKEN MIDDLE AGED MEN WAS SICKENING. ONE DRUNKEN 40+ YEAR OLD WAS GIVEN THE PLAYERS IT AFTER CATALAN CRASHED IN AGAIN. AS FOX WALKED BACK TO THE POSTS HE HEARD WHAT THIS MAN WAS SAYING FOR A SPLIT SECOND I THOUGHT FOX WAS ABOUT TO JUMP THE HOARDING RUN UP THE STEPS AND KNOCK THIS MAN CLEAN OVER THE BACK OF THE GOLF STAND. IF HE HAD I FOR ONE WOULD OF CHEERED.

I stick by my statement about us being fans because until you play super league you will never know how hard it is, that is why I get so annoyed with so called fans slagging off players. It doesn't matter how old or experienced you are rugby is a tough sport

Yes I would expect you would have done where you stand, was right at the bottom of the steps.

I played rugby at a very good standard, G.B. Amatuer and Northern Ford, playing rovers on a no of occasions.
When our games did not clash i was stood on the east stand terrace cheering Rovers on as a FAN.
No one ever mentioned rugby league not being tough, never mind super league that even goes for junior rugby, because it doesnt matter how old you are you still need a big heart to play.

True you do need a big heart to play the game, my husband played professional rugby and I have been involved in junior rugby for seven years, you have to be proud of all who play the game, the ones who slag the players off are the ones who have never played the game

Totally agree with you on that one.
Some people see going to rugby matches now as just another day to get pi$$ed up and abuse anyone from players to fans, both their own and the oppositions.
That seems to be where we are heading at the moment regaurdless who you support.

Who'd you play for chief?

I admit, I've shouted the odd inflammatory/abusive remark to a player, usually more pi55 taking than anything else. I really do not like to see people venomously spouting bile at a player of either team. I usually think; "would I go up to that bloke in the pub and speak to them like that?" the answer is always "NO". a) Because I believe you should treat people with respect and b) I'd rather they didn't knock the living sheite out of me!

As for gobbing off to fans, I think we've always had an idiotic element, remember people fighting amongst themselves in the upper tier at the 2006 CC semi after about ten minutes? As the club has grown, we've attracted more of these pillocks, their very easy to avoid and you would definitely have to go looking for trouble (unless you were very unlucky) at RL to get into any, but, i would very much like to see the club do more to be ejecting these types much earlier and repeatedly or banning them all together.

I'm all for having a drink (although MM aside I rarely do at the rugby) and a laugh but being a foul mouthed drunken lout has no place in my life, if it started to get worse than it is I would have no problem contacting the club with my concerns.

It's catching.





Yeah, I can't see drinking in the afternoon and getting a dull-headache by half-time enhancing my rare trips to CP. Fair enough I can see why a social drink would appeal to some, but why anybody would want to get hammered there...

Balls, what's worse is that I actually wrote "they're" and decided to chamge it.
