Really ? I didn't know the HDM had reporters But seriously, A good to hear story. It is only a game at the end of the day.
That lady represents everything good about football supporters. 90 years and still traveling for hours to away games. We all wish her a speedy recovery. You all should be very proud of her. I traveled 6000 miles a few years to watch us playoff home and away. Fortunately we came out on top in that one but I hope we dont have to do it again. I think we'll go up in 2nd but also I hope you join us in the Prem through the playoffs this time.
The people off Hull are a very friendly caring bunch, just let down by a few scum bags that exist in ALL Citys and Towns.
The Mail ran the story... http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/story-18620692-detail/story.html?#axzz2PZa07zzf
Me and my brothers where there. Our kid Stood over the lady so that she wasn't trampled upon while I went to find some help. Glad she's o.k.
I agree 100%. Yet sadly some on here would consider her a "flasker" and beneath their contempt. Sad really.
I'm pretty sure there's nobody on here who consider her beneath contempt. In fact, I'm certain of it.
What a great looking old lady and what a true fan!! I hope she's recovering well and will be able to watch her team in the Prem next season (but not at our expense). And thanks for the Fail for finally running a positive story about Hull City supporters...makes a change!!!!
It's a nice story, but she's clear as day a flasker. Can you imagine a 90 year old woman standing up against the stewards orders screaming at the top of her voice "what the **** is this hornets, get your head out your arse and play some ****ing football you overpaid ****s".
With all the nonsense printed about football, owners, managers, players, supporters and even the poor old tea ladies these days it's nice to hear a story like this. Thanks for posting lambretta man
Where were the ****ing Police? Probably breathalysing the old dear or accusing a City fan of assaulting her.
I don't think I've ever seen police that far down the drive at the ground. It was as you head down from the stadium towards the Arena, just after the bollards and before the main exit into the Walton Street car park. They might yet be running another one. I was one of the people involved, and even after that one was printed Daniel was emailing me for more information. So that's two games in a row what I've done has seen me in the paper, and on both occassions I've probably met and been talking to someone off here without realising it until long after we started talking (having met bielbs at Huddersfield). I was the one that helped him stop her getting trampled and then went back up to the stadium to get the SJA down. Like you say, you'd have to take a long hard look at yourself if you were in a position to help and didn't. To be honest by the time I arrived there were already a few people helping, so if it had been a month or so earlier I'd have thought there were enough already and carried on (not being heartless, just thinking there was nothing I could do). It was only because I've just had my first aid training at work that I thought it was worth me stopping. Given they're saying it was the involvement of the St Johns Ambulance that saved her I'm glad I did though, because it was my idea to head back up to the stadium to bring them down to help her straight away, rather than just calling for an ambulance and making her comfortable until they arrived, which could have been too late. That's not me trying to get any glory out of it either, I did what I could as anybody should in that position, it just happened that I could help because I'd been taught to think a certain way (make sure they're safe, check breathing etc (as she was talking no real need for that stage), then identify the nearest better help available). So if anyone has the chance to do one of these courses at work (or any other place) don't think there's no point because everyone else has done it so you won't need to, you never know when it could help. I'm sure someone else would have thought of it, whether that was a steward or who ever else was there, but it was the timing, and it was just dumb luck for me to be passing at the right time and it was having done the course that made me think I could think or do something other people might not.
