HERE COME THE HULL SHARKS....

KEIGHLEY 8  HULL SHARKS 18

Super match.  One of the best performances I've seen from Hull.  Keighley
were lucky to score 8.  And their ground was still intact at the end!!!!
(BTW, is the rumour true that shortly after the TWA jet crashed last year,
two suspicious looking characters in black/white hooped shirts were seen
running from the scene carrying something that looked like a rocket
launcher?)

Saints supporters may be interested in a quote from tonights programme...
"Do you think that the Saints fans who refused to move at half-time despite
instructions from Safety Officers had never heard the words Heysel and
Hillsborough?"

As everyone knows, the staff at Cougar Park are renowned experts in all
matters related with safety (NOT!).
What is it with these people from Keighley?  Do they always have to
complain about the visiting supporters?  You can't even get it right if you
just stand still now!
Anyway, I thought it was the movement in the grounds that caused the Heysel
and Hillsborough incidents.  Don't think there'd have been much of an
incident if everyone was standing still!!!

========================================================

The Keighley Official's announced 10 minutes before half time that fans
should not change ends at the interval.

As if oft the case - nobody including the Keighley fans took a blind bit
of notice and proceeded to swap round.

As nobody (I presume the Police and the Stewards were responsible) decided
to enforce this decision by blocking off each end a bottleneck resulted in
the middle of the ground.

Two Stewards decided (and rightly IMO) to allow the Saints fans to jump
over the wooden fence and make their way along the touchline towards the
opposite end.

The police immediately became agitated (why I'm not sure) and they all rushed
over to where the Saints speccies were walking on the pitch and then started pushing
them back over the fence.

This resulted in an even bigger bottleneck and consequently the restart was delayed
by twenty minutes.

There was no trouble whatsoever between either sets of fans and eventually the
match got underway once more.

Would anyone like to add anything to this?

I'm pretty sure I've got it right.

I don't know what they were like when you were there but it seems that
'Cougarmania' is now reduced to half a dozen juveniles with an air horn
jumping up and down behind the goal singing "Cougars, Cougars, Boing!,
Boing!" !!!!!

What an imaginative song that was.

BTW, they did stop singing it when they realised they were getting their
arses kicked :-)

At no time in the match did they stop supporting their team and not one
Keighley fan walked past me toward the exit until after they had applauded
both sides off.

They are a credit to rugby league and put most other spectators to shame.
