Majority? So, assuming the Wakey estimate of your support was right (800 ), that was the mighty roar of at least 4100 Rovers supporters.
Weird, as I was in the East Stand and it sounded like 20 or 30 to me.
Oh, and the hit was legal by the way.

Personally I couldnt give a stuff how many Wakey fans went to the game I am only interested in Wakeys' home support.

According to the papers the attendance was 9000+ so if we did take 800 as you have said that would leave around 8300 KR fans so where have the other half of the fans' gone? now thats weird And as for only 20 or 30 bearing in mind your maths' seem a bit iffy them 30 made a hell of a lot of noise. As for the hit being legal its water under the bridge now.

My maths can indeed be slightly iffy on occasion. It is however good enough for me to know that anything over 50% (that's a half by the way) constitutes a majority.

Ever consider that the cheering was because it was a great hit on your key play maker? It happens at every game, buts fans are never cheering a player being injured. Maybe if the game was stopped and Drew carried off he could have got an applause, but the game continued and he stayed out on the field for at least a minute after the hit.

Although you dont condone this sort of thing it does happen in the game and you have to accept it. But what I found absolutely disgusting was the way the KR fans cheered loudly when Drew who was clearly in distress had to be helped off the field. You fans ought to be proud of yourselfs. And fwiw I am sure that if that had happened at the KC he would have gone off to a round of applause not abuse. Different mentality obviously And i'm sure the RFL disciplinary will do their job and ban this player for the deliberate and criminal attack http://www.therfl.co.uk/about/disciplin ... php?id=794

Stratching my head here. How is a tackle deemed late when the player still has the ball?

It might alarm you to know that other fans are allowed opinions, they do really. Thats not the real issue here though is it. Its about the non sporting gestures of so called R/L fans of yours. And as I have said earlier the proper rugby supporters' from across the city would have graciously applauded him off. But then as I have already said thats the different mentality of the 2 sets of fans.

Clearly. Reminiscent of the time the Castleford fans goaded you by remaining on the terraces that time. Shame on them!

Well it was the same set of fans who clapped Ryan Bailey off against leeds. To be honest I'd be surprised if any fans clap an opposition player off unless he's on a stretcher. Loads of players go off after a big hit with an ironic cheer and return later, so stop trying to make an issue out of nothing.

Having read your posts on this thread, it's quite clear you're just bitter because you were beaten.
