There were still 'members' there though

There was some lads who went on the Hull KR trip who wanted to get a group of 'singers' together. No group banner on show.

It was a 15 year old chav trying to connect himself to the brand. This is being taken seriously and it is not something the Brigantes agree with.

Does it matter if there is a banner on show?

The way I see it is that the brigantes are attracting kids/dickheads who want to be a part of something and will do what they want whether "official members" are there or not.

Because some scrote has spray painted a toilet the Brigantes are attracting dickheads? At the end of the day it's up to us to ensure it doesn't happen again, and make sure everyone connected to the Brigantes realises that this is completely unacceptable. Although you'd have thought common sense would tell you that...

Because of the dickheads/kids who do this kind of thing other fans are less willing to join in because of the negative things they do like this, therefore a clique is being created. Its like "the brigantes" vs "other fans" at times.

I can assure you it is not a clique. It is one idiot who has done something stupid. They have used the group as a platform to do it.

Oh and btw I understand the effort that goes into flags, badges, scarfs, etc and support it. I just dont support tools that are being attracted putting scarfs over their faces on the terraces, etc thinking they are Italian football hooligans.

Brigantes attract these people and this separates them from the majority of fans who may just want a sing along, etc.

I don't think anyone thinks they are an Italian football hooligan. I wear a scarf to keep warm most of the time, that doesn't make me a hooligan.

The season has not even started yet, come up to S2 and have a chat with me and some of the lads, you will soon realise we are not trying to be hooligans.

I can confirm it was - let's not start making allegations by naming people please.

He won't be attending another game as far as I am aware. Puts the situation to bed now we know 'So who..'... I suggest lock it.

I wear a scart too, I dont feel the need to cover half my face and act like a tw4t.

And I dont need to come to 's2' as I have known a 'member' for 20-odd years and have been to the last 2 events at the cricket club, etc.
