Match Day Thread Hull City v Bristol City

So, was it a flare or a smoke canister?

 

Looks like a red smoke cannister to me

 

It was pink and smoky. It was on that video from the away stand that was posted earlier. Presumably not a flare.

 

At least flares look quite impressive if there's a few of them. The smoke things just look naff

 

They are safe though.

 

Not according to the EFL

 

Pfftt

Can't say I noticed much out of the ordinary apart from the smoke bomb from their fans. Certainly nothing on a par with the bottle thrower from the fulham game

 

Hull live really are a disgrace, no sign of any poor behaviour from home fans at all. absolutely anything to stir up trouble and paint the club poorly....... Anything for clicks

 

Why is our head of safety or whoever it was even giving them the time of day?

 

Probably to cover their arse and show they are trying to tackle an imaginary problem ( in Saturday's case )

 

From my perspective in East, when Bristol scored their fans surged towards ours, and it got a bit handbags at the top of North stand where there wasn't much of a gap between them. At one point there was a double line of plod between them. But it was all just shouting and gestures - reminds me of our cat who turns into the Tasmanian devil if he looks through the window and spots another cat in the garden, but if you open the door to let him out to address the offender, he suddenly finds that he has something much better to do, like clean his arse or something.

I'd guess that as this happened right under the security box window, they may have had an exaggerated idea of the actual scale and importance of the event.

 

Biggest crowd and best atmosphere for a long time, even commented on by our new signing and goal scorer, Seri, but the local rag go with this negative 5hite about anti social behaviour at football. It is scandalous and the club should demand a change of policy from them, not send out the club safety officer to comment and add weight to a non story. He should have told them there is nothing to comment on. Hull Live/HDM have been stirring this particular pot for far too long.
They could quite as easily have reported on the number of youngsters attending football on the back of the clubs very generous pricing policy or even on the back of the England Woman's team winning the Euro's and the rise in popularity in the game, but no chance of that.

 

I wonder if he's aware that there's a long-standing narrative that the HDM exaggerate trouble at football and downplay it at rugby. If he is aware, he clearly isn't too bothered about pouring more fuel on that particular fire.

 

Some bloke swore near me when they scored - maybe he's referencing that?

 

I hope, given time and counselling, you recover from this ordeal and feel safe to return to the stadium.

 

Baz is a prick, wish he was back in Nottingham
