You can top it for that, I'll retop it to comment on the ****ing useless police today. Firstly, if you think the number in front of the Everton fans at the end of the game was ridiculous, I was talking to a steward who told me there'd been another 100 or so coppers in the areas under the stand ready to come out and help along with a load of dogs. Now the reason for the presence? At the last game last season there'd been a pitch invasion and they were expecting a repeat this season. 1) I don't recall the Cardiff fans going on the pitch, I recall it being our fans when we won the penalty. How does standing in front of Everton fans make a difference either way though? 2) Apparently there's no difference between a game between the league winners and a team sealing promotion that day and one between a side disappointed at missing out on the Champions League and one that's finishing 16th in the league and has been safe for a week with the big game next week. 3) How many police were on the pitch to stop the Man City and Derby fans invading the pitch today, and what harm did them not being there stopping them have on anybody?
**** the police ****s my phone got ****ing robbed and the ****s did **** all **** em mate **** em the ****s lollolololollol
Blocking the East Stand exit was a master stroke by plod today. Congratulations to those in charge, your incompetence reached new heights, especially given the anniversary. Give it up and let someone with a clue organise it.
The amount of coppers on the pitch at the end was ridiculous, utterly ridiculous, whoever was responsible should be sacked.
I thought it was part of the free end of season entertainment. They even arranged their own smoke bomb. A bit disappointing the Everton fans didn't start in with a chorus of Johnny Todd. Everton come out to it at home and it was the theme tune to Z Cars for all those to young to remember.
^ This It's totally unnecessary and like the ridiculous Police overload yesterday could even incite trouble
Don't get all this stuff about atmosphere being affected by where people are stood, acoustics, high roof etc. Loud at Atletico Madrid whose ground doesn't have a roof on 3 sides and one a lot higher above the crowd than ours. Same at a lot of other European grounds, no roof but great atmosphere. The reason isn't the roof, acoustics etc, it is simply the fact that we don't have many people joining in the singing.
Apart from a spell in the 2nd half from the corner of the East Stand, I didn't hear a peep out of your lads tbh.
Plenty of your fans in the corner near us seemed to get wound up by most of our chants. The bloke with a skinhead, who turned red with veins popping out his head looked hilarious - we all thought he was actually going to burst. Calm down, calm down. As for the police, it's a bit daft really, as is the fencing - loads of Everton fans were just walking round, up to the start of the hill beside East stand and stepping over the fence at it's lowest point to walk back to the city centre with all us home fans.
Welcome to Hull. Some of it may be due to the acoustics as we were quite loud at times. But we have far too many supporters who don't sing. I thought your vocal support at Goodison was poor, so it may just be home crowds.
We were very loud in the first few minutes yesterday and it looked like being a great atmosphere. I don't know if it was their early goal but something shut us up pretty quickly and even "Don't Sell McShane" couldn't really get going.
Then we will be hearing the reason the away fans are outsinging us is that the acoustics in E1 and e2 are better than when our fans were stood there. If away fans have a section of North Stand things will be even worse than they are now.
I spent two seasons in the south stand and usually all you could hear was the away supporters even when you could tell E1 to E3 was buzzing. I'm not sure why.
Doubt it, they'd have to do a load of work on the East Stand concourse to enable segregation. If you go in the North Stand for a game you'll see there's partitions across and removable gates form part of it for when they adjust the away allocation between the 1,800, 2,500, and 4,000 set ups. They don't exist in the East Stand, and where would the toilets be for away fans in that setup? No toilets for them would be ridiculous in general, but from a legal point of view would prevent alcohol sales in that end of the ground.
