Bradford Supporters : Sun Jan 19, 2025 10:00 am  

Just a heads up that an official complaint has been made to the relevant authorities following ... 'the behaviour of some Bradford Bulls fans at the John Smiths Stadium during the friendly game against Huddersfield.
Numerous reports of foul and abusive language, player abuse and abuse towards staff on duty have been made.
Investigations and CCTV footage will be used to identify any individual who is found to have acted in such a manner'..

Obviously if anyone saw or heard anything then report it to either club so it can be dealt with swiftly.
Complaints were also made by other Bradford Bulls supporters too about their own spectators.

Whats all this about, anyone see or heard owt?

Didn't see anything but if anyone was out of order hope they feel the consequences.

Re: Bradford Supporters : Sun Jan 19, 2025 11:30 am  

yes they were one block of seats from us banging their drum swearing at every player that was down and even picking on supporters that chose to go a bit early, an absolute disgrace

This is from a comment on Huddersfields Facebook.
Chant at Halsall was you soft B*****D
Leaving early chant was we can see you sneaking out or something along them lines with a bit of swearing.

I didn’t see anything regarding abuse to staff. Not saying it didn’t happen but every club has its idiots.

One or two abusive chants about a cowbell were heard but apart from that it was all fairly common chanting that you hear at every other RL ground.

Well to be fair, I don't think any kind of chant is often heard at Huddersfield! I think I heard a young boy start signing for Huddersfield but the poor lad was all on his own.

To be honest, there was one or two chants that had me cringing. The one where the Huddersfield player was down injured wasn't necessary. As you say though, there was nothing sung that you don't hear every week on the telly from SL crowds. Abuse of staff, well only those nearby or involved will be able to speak about that. I know there was some frustration about how slow the it was to be served at the food/drink outlets and it wasn't even a big queue when we was there!

Re: Bradford Supporters : Mon Jan 20, 2025 6:35 pm  

Was sat row infront of the guys with the drum there was no abusing staff at all.
The chant at the lad injured was a bit close to the bone, probably because play acting for penalties had crept in the game.
Infact a prime example was jake Connor for Huddersfield when he let a try in buggering about.
Other than that it was all chants that we've had years.
And nothing worse than I've heard following the club for the last 30 odd years.
RL is RL... long may be it so in a world where you can't say a word out of place.

"Is there a fire drill" ? Because Huddersfield were doing the Wigan walk is hardly abuse.

I like the fact that we have some younger fans creating an atmosphere. Don't like that chant at injured players though.

Agree and whilst it needs to be kept in check to a degree, that younger element should help the snowball of gaining more and crucially new supporters. Guess the trick is making it "cool" to be at the games!

If the chants mentioned are classed as crowd trouble then every club will lose IMG points as I have heard the chants at every RL ground i have visited over the years.
