' Embarrassing this city again ' Given it has only been reported as a minor story in a local paper I can assure you the cities reputation (what little reputation it has anyway) will remain intact. A more appropriate title would have been 'Embarrassing themselves again'
The point is it wouldve been full page if it was City fans. We get page lead stories when trouble DOESNT happen (Millwall).
Don't wind yourself up over something that hasn't happened. There were 20-30 (not sure on the exact figure) arrests at Hull City games last season, I don't remember a full page for every one of those. Yes football hooliganism will always receive greater press coverage (local and national) but football built a rod for it's own back in the 70's and 80's when an entire sub-culture of violence associated itself with the sport. There is nothing comparable in any other sport.
What are they charged with, Ground improvements by chance ? As if Warrington fasn dont have history in this area either. Every club has its hooligans.
In Hull there is, the worst violence ever seen at a sporting match in Hull was at the Boulevard on Good Friday 1981 when tubbylard hooliganism shamed our city.
We could also refer to the white stiletto incident that was shown all around the world's media yet strangley overlooked in Hull....
When Airlie refers to last season I don't know if he means 11/12 or 12/13. I'm not sure if the Home Office figures for 12/13 have been published yet, but for 11/12 we had 14 arrests, 7 at home matches and 7 away
To be a massive bell end? Can we clarify whether bell end is two words or is it bellend? Anyway, one of those.
