I don't know whether Sandra was being serious (does anyone ever?) but as far as I am concerned no flag should be displayed in the ground with the EDL logo on and the reason is that it is completely irrelevant to the point at hand, being watching a game of rugby. It is deliberately provocative and no good at all can come from it. Further, it is attempting to make some spurious claim as to the loyalties of the rest of the HKR supporters.
No political or religious dogma has any place at a rugby ground, what purpose does it serve?

I agree with their right to be idiots but I will challenge anyone that is fundamentally racist.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

This is getting embarrassing. Sick of complete morons making the fans of the club I love look like scum. Those who are doing these things every other week at away games are not supporters of Hull KR, just like an excuse to get hammered and cause trouble. Reporting things to the club and all that is the 'proper' thing to do, but does not work. Something needs to change and fast

Anyone waving an EDL flag anywhere near me will be asked to explain it.
I was at Ferriby on Tuesday when they were playing Chester and one of there fans was wearing an EDL Chester Division hoodie. I said something to a friend about it, nothing vicious just saying I've never seen anyone wear one before and they over heard me and him and his friends started having a go at me. Nice people

saw a programme on the EDL and the leader was a indian guy not sure if he still is the leader. The problem was the leadership was trying to be a serious political outfit but some of the followers actually thought they were in the BNP quite embarrasing really

The leader is Tommy Robinson, he's English and from Luton. I too saw a programme it was on channel 4. Tommy had a man with Indian heritage on stage at one of their demonstrations trying to say this man is as English as me to show they are not racist. Ironically, the majority of the crowd then started booing. Not ideal really, shows that most of the EDL are racist no matter how much Tommy tries to say they arent

Tommy Robinson is actually a pseudonym, his real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, born in Luton of Irish parents. He took the name Tommy Robinson after the leader of Luton Town's MIG (Men In Gear) crew.

Moaning about some poster paint that came off with baby wipes? Did you get any photos of the damage? Poster paints come in little small pint bottles, you had a pint of red paint on your car that would have come off when it rained and your on here complaining? Ok, It's a bit annoying but at least you didn't drive back down the M62 with a window missing and glass all over your seats, no wing mirrors or wipers.
A bit of red poster paint, I'd swap that for the repair bills I've paid in the past after visiting Cas.
