Missiles thrown at Hull KR-Alledgedly! : Tue Sep 21, 2010 10:40 pm  

Missiles were thrown from the crowd (alledgedly!) at the Wigan players during the play-off game at New Craven Park. Both the club and the RFL are investigating.
Anyone on here surprised? If you are go to their next home game wearing a Donny shirt.
Worst fans in Rugby League, little short of 70s football hooligans, but nothing will be done as they seem to be flavour of the month within Superleague management circles.
(PS if you do go to Hull for a match remember you are entering Kingston Upon Hull, dont forget to to adjust your watch back 40 years!)

I don't think it wise to tar them all with the same brush.
RL crowds are a mixture of different individuals, there will be good ones and bad ones, just as there are at Donny.
Then there will be sheep, who just follow moronically any questionable behaviour.

I think some clubs may have more chavs than others which is a reflection of the fabric of the town they come from, and Hull is a bit of a deprived area, you only have to look at the education league tables on achievement and truanting to know that Hull is near or at the bottom.

But I have never had any problems with the HKR fans, mind you I have only ever seen them at home.

I think they kicked off at that idiotic ref and his officials and their ignorance or willful ignoring of forward passes. Although this does not excuse it.

True, You can not tar them all with the same brush but having seen a couple of their away games at Odsal in the past couple of years, it would seem that a lot of very undesirable types have jumped on the HKR SL bandwagon.
It is no coincidence that the only time you see the Police at Odsal is when HKR and Warrington are in town.
