First time I've witnessed any trouble for a long while at Headingley, I'm normally at the other side in the south west corner though, I maybe jut miss it.



We are more ashamed of them than you, just recently our away support has been getting tarred by these so called fans. Witnessed them at Wire, Wigan, Salford and Cas so I won't hold my breath that they all get banned on the back of tonight.

well itmust be the first time ever there has been trouble in the North stand,many of us moved from the south stand because it was getting bit loud and scary,so now the piltdown people have found another place to cause trouble

Nothing like tarring everyone with the same brush. Unfortunately many teams in the Super League have 'troublesome' fans. Both the Hull clubs, Salford and Warrington are amongst the worst, that I would agree with, however Leeds United (the football team I support) aren't exactly the best behaved supporters in the land so not sure why you've singled people from Hull out?



I've also seen plenty of 'interbred bottom feeders' while living in Leeds, far more than I've seen in Hull, yet I wouldn't be dim enough nor ignorant enough to suggest everyone in Leeds are the same.

By all accounts the majority of the drinking happens outside the ground, which is a shame because at least if the revenue of the alcohol went to the clubs it would go someway to refunding the policing costs caused by morons who can't decide when enough is enough.

Ribbit!

I often wonder what sort of personality you'd need to wake up one sunny morning and think, "Hmmm, today seems like a great day to travel to a different city, spend a lot of money over seven hours in a pub until I don't know my own name, pay £28 to go to a rugby match, cause a fight, get arrested and spend the night in a police cell, hey and why don't I take the kids with me too"



Its learned behaviour and they are passing on the skills to the next generation.

About eight years ago I had the misfortune to attend a Pies v Hull FC game at the JJB. A group of Hull FC "supporters" had decided that this game would be an ideal prelude to a stag weekend in Blackpool, many of thos attending were also in fancy dress. They were tanked up and at one point managed to get onto the pitch and verbally abuse Hull & Wigan players.



A few of us managed to photograph these idiots and the pics were forwarded to the Hull club. The Humberside Sports Policing unit also got involved and the result was a number of "supporters" were banned from the KC. One even had his season pass taken from him while drinking in a KC bar.



Banning the culprits was one thing, enforcing it was an entirely different other. It also never prevented these idiots from travelling to away games and continuing their "fun". It is the home club's duty to police their ground and ensure the safety and comfort of all spectators and unless and until a system of sharing details of such idiot "fans" is introduced, there's little to prevent recurrances. Eight years ago we didn't have ASBOs, possibly these incidents could now be covered, preventing the subjects of an ASBO from attending RL games in the future?

Would you for £6 an hour?

Terrible isn't it. I have no idea at all how/why anybody could think that would be a good day.



Imagine (if you dare!) what the world will be like when these people's kid have kids of their own!

Before posting rubbish on here, i think you need to find out what actually happened!!!



The fancy dress group was not even in the stadium, one of our group was refused entry to the game because he was deemed to be 'drunk', so they decided to refuse the rest of our group entry!



The only crime we commited was having fun in our fancy dress for someones birthday and it all got blown out of proportion, we was back at the train station for 7pm so dont tar us with the trouble in the North Stand?!

For clarity, none of the people I referred to in my earlier post were in fancy dress. Well I say they weren't in fancy dress, I think what they were wearing passes as Fashion in East Yorkshire these days...

To break your question down a bit, "would I perform a job that I had been employed to do at a rate I had agreed to accept", yes I would, in fact I pretty much did their job for them at some points, despite having my kids with me.



There are a couple of issues here IMO. The club are responsible for employing people to perform stewarding of the stadium on match day and has a responsibility to their customers to ensure that they can attend the game in a safe environment. This includes ensuring that the stewards are capable of performing the role they are employed to do. The second issue is with the stewards, and that issue is to ensure that they are organised in such a way as to be able to control crowd safety, and deal with any issues as they arise, rather than ignore them and hope that the fans will deal with the situation.
