I mentioned this on the Hull vs Wakefield thread but thought such a big problem deserved it's own.

Yesterday an old lady entered the field of play at Belle Vue to abuse the officials. This also follows the news last week that Leeds United have banned a 63 year old Great-Grandmother for also storming the pitch.

This represents a worrying trend - Hooligranism has no place what so ever in the modern and family oritented sports event. I seriously hope that the powers that be stamp down on these people in order to send a message to the hooligrans that they are not wanted. We really need to be proactive on this issue I'd go as far as banning tartan shopping trolleys from grounds as they could be used to conceal anything.

It's only a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt. That lady could have been carrying a knitting needle for god's sake!

If its was a 16-25 year old it wouldnt be hooligranism, they would be described as a thug, disgrace to the game, shud be banned for life.

But if its a old git who is 63, its ok?

Send in Ganson, he'd sort it out

It most certainly is not ok hence the thread. She could have used her plastic rain hood as a garotte. I know that's unlikely but it could happen and I feel isn't an over reaction. In the wrong hands this could be a deadly weapon...



Hooligranism is not cool!

You are overlooking the Werthers Originals - could have someones eye out with them.

And.................... Have you ever been clobbered round the head with a walking stick ????????

It blooming well hurts lol

She was probably asking for directions to the coffee morning.

It's a valid point!

Its a good point

Any point that terrace singer makes is never a good point
