| Personal opinion but I don't see an issue with the smoke bomb. It wasn't thrown or let off around anyone other than those that found it ammusing. It's about as much harm as going to a wedding and the DJ letting off the smoke machine! Should they be banned from all weddings, parties and proms?!
If it were a fire hazard such as a flare or firework then yes I would agree it is going over the top and I don't think it will be a common thing to happen at rugby games. However this is a major over reaction to a little light hearted fun from some youngsters.
Oh and no it wasn't me, I was stood around 10yrds away from the group that did it and they meant absolutely no harm by it.
As for the Hull fans who were ejected, they may have been asked to sit down and that made the situation get a little out of control but seriously as they were getting ejected, pretending to throw a bottle to get a reaction from the stewards or the woman who seemed a little 'off her head' offering out the whole North stand didn't really show us that they were only objecting to being asked to sit down.
I'm not trying to get a reaction out of anyone, this is just my opinion on the matter and think it is all a bit OTT.

| I've no issue with a smoke bomb/flare in the ground, I just think a friendly match is hardly the occasion to be letting one off and it's abit of a overreaction.

Oh more than agreed and personally I wouldn't want them at any match unless being done as an effect by trained staff and much better quality. However you can't help when ideas pop into young supporters heads and the excitment of doing it wasn't going to last until Easter!!!

I meant the lack of passion in the East stand, shocking support in all honesty every time we go - I was a big fan of the threepenny stand but the KC is dreadful. Most FC fans i speak to admit they would love standing. I think the fact there's a thread complaining about a little smoke grenade at a rugby match speaks volumes.
Your away support is brilliant, a shame you cannot replcate it at home. And before you all start, yes it was a friendly - but a derby nometheless.

| If such items like 'smoke bombs' were allowed in the stadium then they wudnt be on the list of banned items allowed in the stadium, obviously the Rovers fan who brought it into the stadium couldnt read the sign !!! another question is 'how did he/her get it into the stadium in the first place?'
With respect to stewarding, certain ones once they put on that yellow or orange (if you can read) coat, they think they have the powers of police officers, those who went to Warrington in play-offs and saw their stewards also using excessive force as well.
Im afraid i cant see them changing unless a great number of supporters write in to complain, it is a little harsh when all away fans are allowed to stand all the game but home fans aren't allowed. Grounds like hudds and wigan which are all seating you are not allowed to stand and are told not to by stewards if you do, so why do the KC stewards let all away suppoorters stand ???
Apart fm that most supporters behaved very well and brought a good following to and out sung us Hull supporters, but hey its a friendly.
Anyway rant over bring on the new season (as it hasnt started yet for all those dobbins who think it has)

| Quote teddypicker="teddypicker"not the first or the last time a smoke bomb will be let off during a sports game.

Think you should look at your own support tbh, very sterile, hopefully for your sake the east stand will become standing sooner rather than later.'"
Do you seriously mean that?

Are you seriously drawing a comparison between today and Valley Parade?

You do realise these such smoke bombs are pocket size! Now I don't know what the home fans at the KC have to go through to get in but I didn't have my pockets searched and I'm certain nobody else did either!
Also not sure anybody has said it isn't a banned item but then I would guess you drive at or under the speed limit at ALL times? Never creep over by a few mph? But the sign tells you it is wrong...
