Hull Citys most famous supporter.....

[crodonilson]

No disrespect John, you may have a lot of respect from all Albion fans for being an all round top bloke and your dealings in getting our new stadium, but your boys are going to take one helluva beating right there on Saturday.

Gus and the boys will have been working hard to put right a slight dip in recent form over the past fortnight and will be determined to put that right on Saturday against your lot.



Come on lets raise the roof on Saturday in front of another bumper audience and get this promotion bangwagon back on the road.

MPs told Prescott ate pie at game

John Prescott "accepted hospitality" at Withdean Stadium
John Prescott accepted a steak and kidney pie and a glass of water on a pre-Christmas visit to Brighton and Hove Albion FC, MPs have been told.
Lewes Lib Dem MP Norman Baker raised the issue of hospitality given to the deputy prime minister on 16 December.

Mr Baker asked whether Mr Prescott took advice from officials before accepting hospitality from the club.

He was told: "Information relating to internal meetings, discussion and advice is not disclosed."
Planning guidance

Mr Prescott gave consent on 27 October for Brighton and Hove Albion to build a new stadium on greenbelt land at Falmer.

Lewes District Council, in Mr Baker's constituency, is challenging the decision in the High Court, arguing it conflicts with the government's planning guidance.

In a Commons written reply on Monday, Mr Baker was told: "The hospitality provided to Mr Prescott by Brighton and Hove Albion consisted of a steak and kidney pie and a glass of water in the creche temporarily being used as the directors' box."

The response came from Jim Fitzpatrick, a junior minister in the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister.

He said to give any more information about the meeting "would harm the frankness and candour of internal discussions".

Basil was my second ever super-hero, l started with Sooty, moved on to Basil, then when girls started to take my fancy he was summarily ditched for Lady Penelope. l never did get the chance to apologise to the first two for leaving them like that. Sorry, l digress ...

 

[Gwylan]

Surely it's Tom Courtenay? Not only is he a knight of the realm and an Oscar nominee but he's also president or chairman of the Hull City supporters club. Must be top of the list.

Hull fans went down in my estimation after this

Fans taunted over London bombings

Upset QPR fans left the ground early
Police have launched an investigation after Queens Park Rangers fans were taunted about the London bombings.
The club's supporters were subjected to chants including, "You're just a town full of bombers" by Hull City fans.

Hull City chairman Adam Pearson apologised to QPR and promised to ban anyone found to be involved in the abuse during the game on Saturday.

Police said a 21-year-old man from East Hull, arrested for racist chanting, was fined and banned from football matches.

Some upset QPR fans left the KC Stadium before the end of the game.

We came out of the ground in tears

QPR fan Val
Both Hull City and Humberside Police are studying CCTV footage to identify those responsible.

One QPR fan, called Val, who was at the game, told BBC News: "Suddenly the Hull fans started shouting songs about the London bombings.

"It was really upsetting. We came out of the ground in tears. I couldn't believe it."

Hull's police commander Ch Supt Sean White, said: "I fully agree with the sentiments of anger and disgust.

"We're talking about 30 to 40 shameless cowards who made these chants towards the end of the game. We're just not going to tolerate them.

"We did intervene and made a number of arrests on Saturday. It has brought a great deal of shame to Hull City.

"What I really need is the support of the public. While we know their faces we don't know all of their names."

'Disappointed and embarrassed'

Mr Pearson has apologised to QPR supporters on behalf the club and said he was "extremely disappointed and embarrassed" about the chant.

"We have clear video footage of the group of youths responsible for this appalling chant, and when we identify and locate them, they will at the very least be banned from the stadium for life, and hopefully with sufficient evidence, they will be liable for official police charges."

He added that two people were removed from the stadium over the chant, and were being interviewed.

A section of Hull City's stadium is to be closed until the police investigation has finished.

How on earth is that racist? Beggars belief.

Aren't you thinking of Derek Fowlds?

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

How on earth is that racist? Beggars belief.

Can you be racist against your own race? I suppose one can but as you say, this instance is clearly not racist.

If it were blacks singing it to whites or vice versa it still wouldn't be racist to sing about London being full of bombers. Highly insensitive offensive vile diatribe that certainly needed addressing, and by the looks of it that is exactly what the Hull board did. Where do we stop calling something racist? Jeeeeze I ain't leaving my flat any more.
