Quote GIANT DAZ="GIANT DAZ"3 of us we're actually saying how the Craven Park crowd has changed, when you 1st got into SL it was a scary place to come with a packed vociferous East Stand making so much noise - for the team and making it such an intimidating place to go, and it really was you couldn't hear yourself think in the past, compare that to now where its thousands of voices just constantly booing or screeching for a penalty, no ear splitting choruses of 'red red robin', no intimidating Hull Kr chants, just boos and wails, why did the crowd stop doing what made it a hell of a place to come to into what was almost an embarrassment at times this week ?
It's a shame really cos although it was intimidating it was also spine tingling at times and made supporters like us very envious of your lot !!'"
It changed during the last season of Morgan's reign.
Gone was the atmosphere fuelled by a decade in the lower leagues and entered the attitude that we should be in the top 4 all the time. Sections turned on Morgan and some of the players and its deteriorated since. Now a large section sound like a typical Hull crowd at any sporting event, moaning and turning on their own, demanding the coach be sacked after every defeat.
Yes the constant braying at officials is embarrassing but to cite that as the reason for the poor atmosphere is disingenuous.
There were fans thrown out after the game for trying to attack the officials near the tunnel Thursday. This may explain the chairman's statement after as it is out of hand now.
This doesn't change the fact that the Sharp gang aren't up to the job and are a spiteful petty incompetent lot made even more Crystal clear by the non sensical video ref decisions. Video refs should be done away with. Useless time wasting concept.
Blaming coaches for issues in the game is not going to address anything and naive. The officials can't keep up with the pace of changes in the game. But if there fundamentally incompetent it doesn't matter what you change.
Roby on Thursday tried to influence the game against Rovers every time he could. As he he did at Cas. Spiteful pathetic little turd who isn't fit to do his job.
