What I would add that I can't see mentioned is that some of our "super fans" (you know the ones that stand near the drum and appeared on Wagga's Game Day a few weeks back) need to take a good hard look at themselves.

York beat us fair and square, and I think would have even with some less controversial decisions from the officials. They wanted it more. Therefore to stand and watch some of the vile abuse York supporters and players got at the end was not pleasant at all.

The group tend to have some good banter with opposition and that's all well and good when we are winning, but they really need to learn to lose with some dignity.

York should have been applauded for making it a good game and the travelling support was better than any other side we've faced... instead sadly they will remember the sour grapes from a minority of vexed up yobs.

I didn't see any of that and not seen it mentioned on the Knights forum or facebook groups, all the comments I've seen about the Bradford fans are how knowledgable and sporting they were in defeat and how they helped make it a great event. But you get a minority at any club. The 'worst' I experienced was a woman wearing a Bradford shirt who was grinning and laughing at us when Bradford got right back into it, but she promptly disappeared when Mazive scored his 2nd try

Assuming it's the same group I'm thinking of, the majority are effectively a load of young lads who like a beer but can't really handle it all that well. I've seen them arguing amongst themselves and with other fans (both Bradford and opposition) and generally being idiots. They seem to have this superiority complex about them (evidenced by the way they act at Blackpool, like they're the "leaders" and them showing up is an event) and don't like being challenged.
As much as they can be very good at getting the atmosphere, singing and chanting going, a large amount of them are also very very immature. And some of the older people that associate with them seem to drop down to their level instead of bringing the younger ones up to theirs. It's the immaturity and superiority complex that will be the reason they acted like that to the York players and fans. Which is a real shame that York people would go away with that impression, rather than the one they would have if they talked/interacted with most other Bradford fans.

Its the very same ones and yes they are good at whipping up a good atmosphere. However, they can equally stir up quite a negative one.

I'm glad to hear nobody from the Knights saw or heard this as they really are the minority. Most Bradford fans who turned up on Sunday will accept our team didn't really perform in the first half and would appreciate that York flew out of the blocks and built up a very well earned lead. Like I say just a shame the minority cannot handle this and decided to make fools of themselves.

And the Facebook spies will inevitably screenshot all this into the two banter groups.

There's two "banter" groups? I only thought there was one!

I hope JK isn't sponsored by them next year.

Which is the one that wanted funding by the club? And then got pi55y cos the expense of going bust was prioritised. Chock full of bell jars.
