I counted 35 cracks in the concrete where I stand, last year I think there was only 33 cracks, so it shows that KR is slowly coming apart... Might have been 36 cracks though, I will re count when we play Salford next year.

Also, will the kids/young adults who were situated under FB One Love and Entertainers banner tonight please STFU. You were a week early in singing Leeds songs and a month early in singing about the Vermin.

I personally don't see the problem here. As a United fan you'd be well aware that Man Utd fans sing regularly about their local rivals (Man City and Liverpool) whether they play them or not.

Normally I would agree, and criticise people for not paying attention, but tonight I don't blame anyone for having a dabble or discussing 'gangsta' issues.

THE most bored I've ever been at a rugby match. A total non-event from start to finish and the sad thing is, I don't think anyone expected anything different.

Take it you didnt go to the Millenium Magic this past two years then!

To be honest I agree with the original posters comments - I do find this behaviour - chavvy and annoying - to be expected at Knowsley Road. It is even more annoying when they come amongst the travelling fans and try and start something - usually under the noses of the stewards and when the visiting fans retaliate there is only one outcome - the visitors are ejected. This is a known problem so the club wants to try and sort it out.

Two years ago it happened TWICE whilst we were there and the stewards took the easy line and ejected the Leeds fans. I wrote to the club and they wrote back saying they would monitor the situation and brief the stewards for future games. It appears that it has sadly not happened.

I wouldn't say it was the worst. Leigh and Bradford must run it close.

FFS chill out - do you now have to pass an exam to come and watch a game of rugby.
Saints games should be places that young people want to attend, if its for the buzz or the game let them decide - it has always been so and now it is just legal to get in for free

And to have a go at singing, just because they are the "wrong" songs - well you need to ask yourself why would you say that

So long as these Kids arent making a nuisance of themselves and spoiling the game for others (and by that I dont include getting irritated by the mere fact they are there) then welcome them in - you never know they may even be getting counted in the upsurge in attendance figures that everyone is so proud about.

This is rich from a Leeds fan.

When i was young (under 15) i was one of those who didnt care too much about watching the game and would rather speak to my friends. Thats all changed for me now and i expect that will happen with a propotion of the younger fans when they come of age.

Bring back the childrens section where they can all mingle between themselfs and not bother other supporters, they would probably prefare that too. If their parents pay saints for their children to socialise who are we to care if they dont watch the game if they're out of sight in their own section.

Unaccompanied and under 16, enclose them in a pen I say And as for "who are we to care" - if they are spoiling MY enjoyment I care quite a lot actually...........
