Be interesting to see if the banners are out on Friday night at the KC to see if Herr Rule gets them removed again.

Can anyone tell me what rule/regulation [under the rugby league guidlines] would be broken if someone had such a banner or what criminal offence would be commintted, provided there were no obscene words etc and the person in posssion was orderly etc.?

The reason that I ask this question is because I am concerned that after Sunday's incident the club are over reacting and may alienate a further section of their supporters. Would they behave this way if the banners were in support of the club?

I think the people who run the ground have the right to stop stuff like that regardless. They may use the "Inciting crowd trouble" card. Or a host of other reasons.
The bloke who took <------------- that one down was very apologetic and was just doing what he had been told to do by the higher ups. Was no point in me trying to argue my case.
I think a lot of it is down to goodwill between clubs, and if Quins were faced with a similar situation they would then expect Hull to remove any anti club/coach banners down at the KC.

A massive overreaction. Try taking a look at what goes on in countries with really repressive governments and then contrast with what goes on in the UK. We're not perfect by any means but your rights to free speech and peaceful protest are intact.

As for comparing the actions of a privately owned sports club to a Fascist state - get a grip. It's a game FFS. Nobody is dying or having their fundamental human rights trodden on.

o yes how I agree with you - The numpties would not be posting on here if we were in a Fascist state.

I wouldn't imagine its a rugby league thing, more likely a ground regulations/public order thing, which would/could apply to every sports ground or arena in the country.

Didn't a Division 1 football chairman stop supporters from hanging similar banners regarding their manager earlier on this year?

I'm sure they can ask you to take them down, but they wont be able to stop us from chanting "AGAR OUT" though. Would like to see the weeble wobble stewards try.

I expect there may be a higher than usual presence of stewards in the east stand on Friday to move people off the terraces quickly if we lose

That drives the message home more than any banners could do.
