    This kind of stuff makes my piss boil. I've posted summat on the club's official Facebook page. Feel free to steam in and back it up.

    The name means nothing to me. No idea if it's even in West Hull, I just put that for emphasis <laugh>

    I'm a Beverley boy, you see. Is the New Griffin a pleasant place, or a ****ing dump?

    I always wondered what type of fans go to the games and actually watch the clock/advertising. Now we know. Did you manage to beat the traffic on the way out too Erik?

    I go on the train.

    I get to the ground about half-an-hour before kick-off, and check the concourse TVs for the team news. You know the ones I'm talking about, right? The ones with the adverts for ****ty pubs and obscure pharmacies along the edge?

    Silly auld sod.

    Can you imagine trying to get into a home end at any other Premier League ground in the country wearing Hull City colours...No ****ing chance!!!!

    I wanted to twat one of those ****ers wearing one of those half and half scarves, but I am too nice to do such a thing

    Following the very dangerous act by the stewards to try and confiscate the banner and now this the company who own the contract should have it ripped up as they are totally incompetent!! I really fear for the safety of our supporters should a real incident occur as this lot are a laughing stock.
    But you get what you pay for. ON many occasions I look at the stewards and no disrespect to them for at least being employed but they appear unfit, lacking confidence to deal with incidents and most of an age where with all the good will couldn't do anything in an emergency. With the CTWD campaign taking right priority I propose we petition against the contractor to have the contract rescinded on the grounds of safety which they are supposed to ensure. I take my nephews and am extremely concerned and so you should be

    I had a family of chelsea fans with hull accents sat behind me yesterday and it genuinely ruined the game. The main culprit was a stupid ****ing bitch that squealed like a pig every time we tackled one of their players. She was more interested in Jose Mourinho than the game and spent most of the time looking through her chelsea f.c camera. I've never heard somebody talk such bullshit about football and if it wasn't a sellout I would have moved away from my season ticket seats and found somewhere else to be in peace.

    It's funny, these people never seem to come into E2.

    Why stand for others spoiling your experience when they're legally not allowed to be there?
    They're plastics who won't know what action xan be taken against them, so in future just turn around and tell them they're not supposed to be there, so stfu or you'll report them and have them removed (they won't know our stewards are useless twats).


    ....that is the polite way of dealing with them by the way. Don't think we'd be as nice in E2, lol.

    Its quite simple really. All those who feel completely let down in the North Stand you should be contacting the club to make yourselves heard. If the stewards and the police turned a blind eye, then what the hell are they being paid for.

    There is no way anybody wearing away colours should be allowed in the home sections of the ground . This is basic common sense to prevent trouble .
    What is the point of having a massive line of stewards segregating the north stand and them allow away fans into the home section ?

    I'm currently drafting out an email complaint to the club given that I was literally surrounded by Chelsea fans at the front of the North Stand. My day and enjoyment of the match was completely ruined as a result. I hope others can do something similar so we can add weight in numbers and let the club know how we feel about it.

    Were they Hull people supporting Chelsea Dids or proper Chelsea fans??

    The club did give out a warning for the Liverpool game, they probably dont realise this City is infested with ont only Leeds Liverpool and Man U ****s. There are also ****s who follow Chelsea and Arsenal too. Can think why there arent any Hull people supporting Fulham or Palace when they came.

    Difficult to tell to be honest but I suspect the former. The first thing I noticed was how utterly quiet everyone was around me so picking up accents was difficult, (however I certainly didn't detect any London accents). I know it's a cliché that the KC is too quiet anyway but this was deafening silence and I sensed something was amiss. Then I noticed a couple of kids in front of me with Chelsea hats on. Then I heard comments like 'The Hull player next to John Terry' and 'their number 20' (referring to Sagbo). Even with this forewarning I was still taken aback when everyone, (and I mean everyone) around me leapt up cheering when Chelsea scored. I'm as placid a person as you could meet but I still had real surge of anger at that moment and wanted to twat the smug smirks off every one of their twattish faces, (sorry anger rising again just thinking about it).

    The truth is, if I'd been a pissed-up scally with a couple of scally mates then **** would really have kicked off at that moment. There were stewards 10 yards away at most yet nothing was done.

    I'll PM anyone interested a copy of the email I'm sending to the club.

    Alternatively, they don't give a flying **** about home fans. Just a thought.

    ....another good idea is to get your phone out and start filming - go ask a steward if they're going to do anything about these fans breaking stadium rules. They won't like that, as they can't get away from doing their duty.
