I will be contacting the club to complain about the stewards or lack of them.

Been they done that.

I will be doing a moral crusade of my own soon though. It has the support of my local MP!

We were stood to the right of the sticks down at the front, Leeds fans up behind us, no problems whatsoever. It's nice that fans can mix like that. We also visited your supporters club before the game for a drink, very nice thank you. Every club has an element of idiots among it's support, but that does not mean the whole of East Hull is the same, some of us go to enjoy the game and a bit of banter, nothing more.

To those who gave us advise on here before the game thanks very much, we got our complimentary south stand tickets exchanged for western terrace no problems, ticket office very helpful, just thought it strange that we would want to exchange our tickets for an uncovered area

Was it more or did the local dibble seem to be more visible last night than they normally are?

Is it just a case of them seeing the word "Hull" on the fixture list and using it as an excuse to go into football mode?

the best bit was when they were chanting about hull fc...NOTE TO HULL KR...YOU WERE PLAYING LEEDS LAST NIGHT! GET A NEW SONG OR DONT SING IT!
I actually had to apologise to the people around me in the paddock for me shouting that to the dobbins fans! so infuriating. The Dobbins fans are normally ok, well except for hull derby days, but last night was a joke. At least the leeds crowd silenced them!

It's only like our idiots used to sing about the Dulls every blooming week.

Although none of it compares to Hull fans singing about they hate us after scoring a try. What a great way to support your team, eh?

I dunno. Castleford fans doing the same thing whilst wearing Leeds United shirts is surely tops that?

You'll probably find we were not silenced by anything but your team taking control. And even then we still sang and was probably the fact your lot were singing that you couldnt hear us and what do you expect with over 15k of you there, if you cant outsing a thousand Rovers fans at Headingley then there is something wrong.

Either that, or we don't really give a damn about stuff like that? Perhaps we're just a far more sophisticated bunch

I’ll second this.

Hull KR fans were vocal throughout!
