Hucka Hucka Huckerby 0 Posted July 17, 2010 I was a little surprised to say the least when I came across this a few minutes ago. York city square closed amid football violence Police escorted the fans away from St Helen''s Square One of York''s busiest shopping squares was closed off by police after violence erupted among about 50 football fans. Police cordoned off St Helen''s Square as violence broke out among Hull City fans, who were in the city for a pre-season friendly against York City. Eyewitnesses said officers in riot gear and with police dogs forced the fans into the Lendal Cellars pub where they were contained. Two hours later the police were seen to escort them to the railway station. One person has been arrested in connection with the incident. Eyewitness Sandra Preston, who works in the same building as the Lendal Cellars pub, said she was not allowed to leave the premises for about two hours. She said the first she knew of the trouble was at about 1130 BST when she heard the sound of breaking glass. Asked if she was frightened, she said: "I was more concerned in case anyone had been hurt." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boogle 0 Posted July 17, 2010 "Bruce''s Header" I was a little surprised to say the least when I came across this a few minutes ago. Im not. Hull have very bad reputation, have for years. Travel everywhere in big numbers. Not a big name for the papers like Millwall, West Ham, Cardiff etc, but just as nasty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bury Yellow 2 Posted July 17, 2010 Agree totally. Hull have a large troublesome following.When we played them at Hull, there supporters actions were a disgrace and the police took very little action.Of course most of them are the thick young scum but a few police batons over their heads would make them think again.

Lord Flashheart 0 Posted July 18, 2010 I remember the hassle that kicked off the last time we went to Hull. Thank goodness there''s that massive fence between the home and away supporters. [:S] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YorkCanary 0 Posted July 18, 2010 Well I''m working in York atm and went into the city yesterday, must have just missed it though.Cannot believe that it''s for a pre season friendly and that it was Hull fans kicking off against each other. Very pathetic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Expect to see a lot of angry Hull fans if they aren''t challenging this season. Either that or a half empty stadium. Us football fans don''t take disappointment very well!

[/quote]Very true, remember after the 7-1 last season friends and I were in so much shock I don''t think we have ever got so drunk on a night out so quickly. But they did win the game against York and the guy I live with came back from the friendly quite positive about some youth players they were playing. Just strange attitude after winning a pre season game! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Wal 315 Posted July 18, 2010 Football is just the excuse used.It''s really all about mindless thugs and idiots going somewhere where they can act in that way and get away with it.It''s not about the ''support'' of the team it''s about violence.Last wek the excuses were the Orange marches in Northern Ireland!

Rupethebear 0 Posted July 18, 2010 Think it all kicked off 3 hrs before the game! They are complete w*nkers, as a few have already said it was rough when we went to the KC, even though there was a fence I saw a bottle fly over it.....they even had a chav in a Man U shirt get arrested!Never mind their ground will be too big for them now, back to rugby again at the KC!!!!!

Big Duncs Bloody Shirt 0 Posted July 18, 2010 Agree with most of the comments in this thread about our charmless friends from ''Humberside''. I too was in away following on our last trip to the KC and can vividly recall the teenage thugs and intimidating atmosphere. Comes as no surprise that these losers wouldn''t hesitate in kicking off at a meaningless pre season friendly. Oh for a double over these morons this season.
