incredible 2 out of 2 and you come out with sh!te like that,our forwards battered wigan down the middle in second half,you cant knock our forwards at minute radford is going well/cusack/dowes making plenty yards also. wigan had a lot of players missing due to knocks picked up in hull game, we really hurt them.

We'll see if you still think that in a month

99.9% of hull fans were great. Best supporters around but one mindless idiot wanted to do someone before he went home. His friends seemed to give the impression that he does it all the time. If anyone knows who he is then they should leave him at home before he causes someone ( and the club ) some real damage.

HE WAS A MINDLESS THICKO WHO WAS EVENTUALLY EJECTED FROM THE GROUND.

I have to say I am somewhat surprised by many of the comments on here to be honest and some are very justified..
My Opinion is...
Sat directly opposite the FC stand right in the middle of the Crusaders fans in the seating with my little boy and was treated with respect and made a few friends to be honest, from start to finish I found the South Wales lot as I always find them, very very friendly, love their rugby, great banter WITH NO SWEARING BECAUSE OF THE KIDS AND LADIES , one of them even brought my lad a hot dog & a can of pop without even asking if he wanted one and the end of the match was met by at least a dozen sat around me all saying thanks for coming to Bridgend and asking questions about where to stay in hull etc for the return match !! and then ended up going for a Curry in the town with them and their little lad too.

Now that is what rugby should be!!

I didnt go into the FC area for the simple reason I have found more and more that there is that element of thuggery creaping back into our away support , too much aggression towards away support, always the same faces too!!
AND when oh when are we going to stop singing the shoot the rovers scum song at every single match!! there were folk around me whom thought the song was directed at them!!!
very sad and mindless.

Overall i thought the ground was grass roots but learning, well run and friendly, stewards were excellent, Police outside ALL used sir and madam when adressing fans leaving all in all a great night out!

Hope the prats that got ejected were also arrested!!, they should also then shame and name them in the HDM and ban them from the KC.

sorry to go on but we had a great weekend

He had a few swings at me as I said earlier and I'm not being funny here but he could have hit me all night and I'd have still been on my feet. If you talk the talk then walk the walk. This fella sadly seems to be an @rse who can't back it up.

He'll come a cropper one day as he obviously can't look after himself too well but certainly would be the kind of person to get trouble most places. I wasn't prepared to fight the t!t in the ground as in my eyes that would have been being as bad as him i.e starting on people for nothing when women and kids are about. I was with my g/f for f**k sake.

I'd love to meet the fella on his own though and see how big and mouthy he is if he was away from his mates. See if his powder puff punches were any better without his mates helping him with the sly digs.

As I've said on our site and earlier in this one too the rest of your fans were top class and thanks for adding to what was a decent day on and off the field other than the incident talked about above.

Just to say at first I thought he may have thought I was a Hull fan he had some trouble with previously as walking up to someone in a ground and saying 'I'm going to f@cking do you' is a bit of a weird thing to do and I laughed at first as I thought he was on a wind up. He was that ridiculous.

I think the lad got carted out and in a way I'm glad it was me as the missus was quite understanding considering and if it wasn't me and my dad then it could quite possibly have been a dad with his kid and it may have been a lot worse. He was taken away by the police I'm certain of it as I saw him with his Hull shirt and flag wrapped around him as I made my way to get us some drinks.

I'm not going to let it tarnish my opinion of Hull FC fans in general though as I have enjoyed many a good craic and drink with you lot at Challenge Cup, Grand Final and Millennium Magic events and long may it continue.

Apologies for the odd d1ckhe4d who tried to do his best to spoil your night.Its not often i go to away games myself for reasons you have pointed out.Unfortunately beer gets the better of a few on away days and encouragement from fellow d1ckh34ds does not help

Agree with all that. Manu made a couple of good runs but his fitness levels don't seem to be up with the others. Thackray made little impact. Washy looks to have bulked up maybe a bit too much. Houghton did look a bit rusty but needs some gametime.

He did look bigger, didn't he? I think he'll be OK at LF but is now definitely too big and slow for SO.

Funny how things pan out - Dowes, Tickle, Cusack and Byrne the best players in the first 2 games. All the players that were labelled average at best last year.

Cusack and Byrne copped some unfair flak last season so I'm not really surprised to see them perform well.

Dowes and Tickle have quite simply upped their game tremendously. Very impressed with both of them last night. In fact I don't think I've seen them play better.

On another point, I have to say the away strip hasn't grown on me at all and looks awful on the players. Most girly kit ever.

Incredibly naff, isn't it?

No probs.

When it comes down to it you can't physically stop d!ckheads going if they so choose.

Hopefully we'll upgrade facilities by the time you come down next time. Let's hope so. We can't all have shiny new stadiums though.

Hope i was the 1 who dragged a few hull fans of the Celtic fan he was trying to hit, sorry for your experience, we have a small minority who don't go for the rugby but to get out of there brains on alcohol, and like you say couldn't fill a sick note in

Was it the 1 with the flag wrapped round his waist BTW???

Completely agree. Cusack looks to have beefed up too. A lot bigger up top IMO.
