We wouldn't hold it against you if you wished to contact Hull KR to let them know of your troubles in recent years.
It was mentioned earlier that a possible solution is ticket only games and refused entry to the North stand for away fans.
the first year that rovers returned to SL I actually enjoyed their presence at Headingley

Probably because Hull is in the title. I've read of alot of trouble between Hull city and Bradford. Games are governed on a basis of 'how likely is trouble', I'd expect that the football boys have done a good job to make the city of Hull a grade A for policing in any city with a rival football team. It's the same police force so they will no doubt treat all 3 Hull clubs the same.

There was a very visible police presence at Headingley yesterday - something that there isn't when we have visitors from Bradford, Saints, Warrington, Salford, Quins... you get the picture?

Probably does have a lot to do with it although non of the rugby fixtures are policed anywhere near as much as football is

I see a police presence at pretty much every game I attend. The last few years I've driven to most away games for the first time rather than coaches and the police come in handy for parking hints.
I think this just highlights the fact that our reputation is preceded by our title.

Fellas lets not make the mistake of labelling these cretins as "fans". They aren't fans of RL just idiots who can't handle a few beers and feel the need to cause grief and unfortunately i think most if not ALL clubs have them. I also support LUFC and you get that label when you go anywhere in those colours whether you've done anything or not and it's ridiculous.

Quick question:
How long did it take for Leeds to sort out The South Stand Under 16 Cider Appreciation Society?
