It is important that facts are established quickly in these incidents so that anyone involved can be identified and dealt with accordingly.
It is important for our sport as a whole that we eradicate any anti-social behaviour of any kind from the terraces.
Until full facts of incidents are known it is in the best interest of the sport as a whole to avoid perpetuating incidents, as unconfirmed rumours are likely be exaggerated in the wider media and as a result will paint a detrimental picture of our sport to the wider public.'"
They already have to my knowledge. They were chatting with some stewards after the game and there had been a few scuffles supposedly.
To Wakefields credit, there were large numbers of stewards within the vicinity (was something expected?) so everything died down quick enough - fortunately it was the end of the game before anything boiled over so both sides just went there separate ways.
I agree, and it's already becoming more of an issue than really deserved, mass brawl is really a bit of an exaggeration, people jump on a train, and it's painted worse than it is - though it doesn't excuse any issues!

Agreed that there should be no excuses for anti-social behaviour. Credit to your parents for reporting to the stewards.
Hopefully the stewards are aware of anybody involved and the correct actions have been taken to ensure that this was an isolated incident.

I have this problem with so called Giants fans every year, what the hell is wrong with them. They are all t*ssers and always the ones who start the problem - all Wakey fans are ini cent as the driven snow.
What a one eyed bigot you really are.

Nobody did, it's a figment of Magic Superbeetle imagination and a transparent attempt to deflect from a far bigger issue.
Also as a matter of interest the worst crowd trouble at Wakefield ever was when a bunch of so called Saints fans hired one of the boxes, trashed it and fought a running battle with stewards - about four years ago, assume Magic Superbeetle forgot that one.

| As a Bradford fan, to my SHOCK and HORROR, I personally witnessed a wakefield fan attempting to cut off the arm of a saints fan with a bread knife. It took ages.
Surely deducting 6 points is the way to go here?

I'm gonna assume your on some sort of wind up. I never mentioned anything about 4 years ago. Simply what I've been told happened on this occasion, and I have repeated it on here.
I'd suggest the ganson thing you also posted on also a deflection on how Wakefield, after losing a 12 point advantage simply gave up instead of fighting their way back into the game. But maybe that's not my place to point out.

Was it a rusty bread knife, in which case it's 8 points!

It still had Jam and Margarine on it. What sort of animal doesn't sterilize before engaging in a hedonistic orgy of violence? Although all the Wakefield fans were rythmically clapping and chanting "die, die, die" I could see in their faces that they would have preferred to see some semblance of decontamination protocols being adhered to before the knife was re-used.
Minus 10 points for me.

No it's not a wind up, carry on in denial.

| Quote ="The Avenger"I'll tell you what I did see, there was a Sts fan who was stood almost in the middle of the Wakefield fans in the North stand and throughout the first half he was visibly shaking his head a tutting at comments being made around him. In the second half he got into a number of arguments with fans around him because they were unhappy with Roby. Quite why he decided to place himself where he did is a bit of a mystery, the cynic in me says he was there to be provocative but no doubt he's wandering around Merseyside telling everyone how bad the Trinity fans are.'"
I notice that he saved his most vociferous rejoinders for an elderly lady, although I'm sure that was just a coincidence.
My favourite bit was when someone did a mild swear and he picked his daughter up and hugged her protectively; wont someone in Wakefield just think of the children?!
Aside from that, I saw no bother - something had gone off as we were leaving through the Saints fans in the West stand, as a group of stewards had gathered and Kath Hetherington was talking to a visiting female fan; looks like there could have been a minor scuffle, but there was no evidence of a 'mass brawl.'

| As I heard it, from a bloke down the pub, a Wakey fan brandished a butter knife and a Saints Fan, in self defence, produced a "flick spoon". It was all quashed by a Marshall with a soup ladle.
Big Nidge asked if any pies were involved and seemed disappointed when they weren't .
Kath immediately shipped off a dozen best steak and kidney, six pork and and two chicken korma to red hall, and Nidge, as he carefully donned his bib, pronounced "no further action necessary".
True story ( well it's as true as most things you read on here anyway)

what so the giants fans that are stood mainly on or around the halfway line and the 25' yard line actually wander onto the other end to pick fights with wakefield fans?
get a grip man,i know you don't like us but that is ridiculous.
i never said all wakey fans i said a number of them, same place, every year show up without fail, most wakey fans in that area are sound,decent fans, unlike the ones who appear from other area's of the ground.

Really? How many incidents can you name?
I'm there every home game and we had an incident against Cas a couple of years ago, and one against Widnes. Both were quickly managed and it was pointed out that the Widnes fans had also caused trouble the previous week at another ground.
Salford and Cas had an incident. I remember Leigh having some problems in recent years. Hull KR too.
The issues at Grand Final is never a Wakefield Trinity fan. Leeds, Bradford and Sts have all been accused before.
All are minor incidents which should and usually are handled by stewards.
I have often found away supporters sociable at Wakefield without ever having any trouble but we decided on segregation after we put a roof on the North Stand not because of trouble.
But you try to create something that isn't there if you like.

| I spent most of the second half of our game there last year having a very good chat with a group of Wakefield supporters. No problems whatsoever. The only trouble I've seen round there wasn't started by rugby league fans.

| There is a element of idiots in most supporters and i remember a few Widnes fans taking the Mickey and middle aged men coming over and throwing punches. The Stewards where not the best on the day, but overall most Wakey fans are decent.This was put on You Tube, and these middle aged men need to grow up, or go to football games as this is a family sport.

Quite. The common demonimators here seem to be you and the other Gnats fans. I wonder why it "gets a bit tasty" when you visit?

because we always seem to beat you and the wakey fans walk past early after the loss a tad upset and give all the lip, most Giants fans stand at the side by the half way line..not saying its all one way but the topic is crowd trouble and involves wakefield again. like i say no surprise.

You are clearly trying to stir something up but it just isn't there.
I've only seen one post that can give any details of what they saw and they say someone through some beer.
If you weren't there, why so keen to stir it up?
