Poor show from Cas if they can only muster 4,000 home fans on a lovely sunny afternoon.

If something has been thrown at players from the crowd then that is totally unacceptable and the guilty person(s) should be punished for it.

However, it is not right that you decide to label an entire club's supporters over an incident that hasn't yet proven to have happened. Every club has a few idiots in its fans - because there are idiots in every town and city - and so you can't take the moral high ground on this, especially after some of your own fan-base received bans and your club a fine due to their actions a few seasons ago.

Thanks for the details. I was in the away end behind the sticks with the Hull fans but didn't quite make out what had happened from where I was. I did later hear something along those lines, so reading your description of events, I'm sure that is actually what happened.

I don't see why many Hull fans are being so defensive. Real RL fans of every team know what's what in our game and of course it isn't everyone who causes trouble just a mindless few and I'd say all teams have a few planks. Most of the time us Cas fans are a bit touchy with these incidents because we feel hard done by as we were recently fined a couple of times yet have clearly witnessed or been part of similar events that have gone unpunished.

I won't get involved in the bitchfest but just hope anyone who saw anything can report it to the club to help rid the game of our sports mindless few.

Don't worry, they're getting like KR fans making up crowd numbers.

Earlier in the thread it was 3000 now it's over 5....

Cas haven't had an attendance under 8k yet so it's safe to say there was at least 6.5k Cas fans.

was stood ryt there sum fc fan threw his beer and owen started offering him out half of the fans didnt see it thats y we were giving owen stick but to be fair owen should be alot more mature then that and rise above it instead he reacted like a 4 year old and spat his dummy out offering the fan out. his head totally went he could of coursed alot of trouble
and on the attendance we easily outnumbered your fans today you need to admit that atleast

Re: Hull FC fans : Sun Mar 25, 2012 9:51 pm  

Its funny how people see what they want to see. Beer wasn't thrown and nothing was handed to the steward. If something was thrown it must have been something small because I didnt see anything, besides Owen pointed out someone and the chief steward came to have a word and went. If something was thrown and they knew who it was they would have been ejected. Owen simply lost his temper and made himself look a cock in the process.

Re: Hull FC fans : Sun Mar 25, 2012 9:56 pm  

just back from town (Hull) had a drink and watched the beer nice person on a Hull fans phone. He told me most was thrown over other Hull fans but a lighter was handed to the officials which hit Owen he says. He recorded the beer nice person to hand into the club, lets hope a ban follows. 220 on our buses coming on Friday followed by at least another 2000+, love Cas ground cannot wait. Rovers by 30 points !

Cas have sold 4000 STs and then there's easily a number of fans that don't buy STs.

You didn't fill all of the Railway End and there was at least 400 of about 1500 of them Cas fans. You filled about half the Princess St, which holds 4k, so I'd say 3500-4000 Hull fans.

I saw the pint go over the Cas fan but there seemed to be a minute or so between that and Owen getting involved so I didnt think they were related, however what you say may well be right. Either way it was a very unprofessional response, Orr had to drag him away.

Re: Hull FC fans : Sun Mar 25, 2012 10:02 pm  

Cas fans can't really take the moral high ground. I've just read the programme notes from today about the obscene chanting.
