A group of hooligans have attacked supporters coaches after Hull's last two home games with bricks and stones.

Pearson is greatly concerned by this recent surge in hooliganism and has announced plans to prevent such trouble in future.

He said "Strong measures and initiatives are now being put in place for the next home game against Kidderminster which we hope will alleviate problems".

"The City Council are also assisting by improving the roads and car park surfaces around the North Stand (The Away end) so that loose debris is not readily available for use by these hooligans".

"It is extremely dissapointing as we try to develop the football club and the good name of the stadium that a mindless few are doing so much damage to our reputation and the general feeling of goodwill that exists towards the club".
