Good, just hope the idiots involved are proud of themselves.

As an aside, what punishment did the Leeds fans get when they fertilised the pitch with bottles or Salford fans with flares?

[size=42Then again, both those were down to our own club being able to control supporters, so maybe I should keep my mouth shut[/size

Good question. I cant remember leeds or salford getting any fine.

At the end of the day, I (and many others) chose to take the disappointment and walk out of the ground and go home to kick the cat (not literally)......

Others, with a fair drop of ale on board I'm sure, chose to act like a mob and achieve nothing but getting the club into serious trouble.

Don't come back with "they did it first", it's down to us to act like normal folk, not thugs and mobs.....

Ur exactly right but we must stress that any punishments must be consistant and nothing was done about the Whinos bottle throwing incident, anyway we havent actually been done yet so we cant really comment, but if we do get done it just shows that its one rule for one and anthother for the rest.

so what would the punishment be, would it be a fine or a points deduction, never read anything about similar punishments so its a new one on me.

It'll be a fine, unless of course we finish the season 8th, one point above Wigan.

Can't recall a case of a mob of fans waiting for a Ref to go home before......

Difference between Flares, and bottle or two, and a mob outside the Changing Rooms.....

No excuses, our fans were wrong, on all counts.

Although I agree with what you say, there's no way the Leeds one was 'a bottle or two' and there's a photo somewhere that proves that...

I've seen it before after we were shafted by one of the Connelly twins against London, Shaun Edwards played for them at the time. Must have been 97 or 98. Got a little bit tasty behind the main stand!!

Could end up to be the straw that broke the camels back, come the day of reckoning.

There all GAY you know.

Your clubs forked out for CCTV, hopefully they've made efforts to find the trouble causers and will ban them if they find them - problem tackled. Maybe a token fine to set an example, but deffo no points off THIS TIME, bit IF it happens again at ANY club............... throw the book at them. The law must be laid down that future occurrences of this behaviour will NOT be tolerated.

You've a decent set of fans on the whole, and I've never had any aggro either at WR or BV, so this seems to be a one-off - lets keep it that way.

As for the ref - can't something be done under the Trade Descriptions Act?

if found guilty then its one less box you can tick come the next round of licences as it will count the same as breaking the salary cap (there both breeching the rfl operational rules).

Is one charge impersonating a Rugby League team?

Not a very convincing impersonation tonight. I can't see Rory Bremner sh*tting himself anyway...

Slight difference between a few fans throwing bottles on the pitch to an angry mob waiting to do the REF in and forcing him to be escorted out of a back entrance

On last nights performance i would expect a points deduction, our fans last night were a disgrace

And thats the majority, not just a minority!!

I'm not disagreeing or agreeing but can i ask how they were a disgrace?

The majority that were stood around me were intent on causing trouble. Put it this way, they needed little goading from a young mindless idiot from Leeds for around 20/30 of them to start and offer him out for a fight. It was getting ridiculous and around 15mins before the end we ended up leaving, simply because we could see exactly where it was heading

Put on top what happened to the girl further down from me who was abused by one of our OWN "fans"

The trouble in the bars and Leeds station

I would say it was a pretty bad night to be associated with the club

leeds station???????

stories of in fighting amongst fans and so called fans carrying on in ground, only time before the club is severely punished!!!

Thats where i got the Leeds station bit from, not heard about it myself. But wouldn't be suprised if it did kick off there

too many jippos in cas thats the problem

is there any real need
