With news that the RFL are investigating trouble at the wakey vs Cas game last week www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/17681109 What are the chances of this weekends Cas vs Fev game likely to embarass the game further. Some Cas fans have already said they will not attend because of the risk of trouble. With it being on TV are the risks worth it. Will the ground have more police than an old firm derby I hope thye RFL tell both clubs about their responsibilities and both sets of fans remember that they are the public face of RL this weekend.

Fev are that worried about a repeat of the last 2 times they've played Halifax they've given Cas fans a stand to themselves which has a separate car park.

Although if there's going to be problems, it will be outside the stadium where the locals can just wait.

The problems will not be in the ground, And it wont be Cas fans starting them. We want to get in there, Get the win. And get out. Never to return.

The scenes at Wakefield were shocking, That was a massive balls up from the chiefs there, With the Segregation, This city is ours stuff.

I refuse to accept Cas were to blame friday, We had a middle aged man, Who was sober. Cracked with a Glass bottle, And thats what started the trouble. How were glass bottles brought into the ground ?

After the initial trouble, Cas fans backed 10 yards off the Stewards divide. And the Wakefield side were still raging like hooligans. Fwiw. These werent fans of the club, They were there for trouble, They went looking for it. And put shame on both clubs.

Think it will be a cracking game

Nah. Trouble has ever before occurred in RL and has only ever happened in other sports? So everyone will pick up on this story and see it as evidence that every RL is a thug.

No. It's not good. But it's nothing to get hysterical about either. It does not suggest a pattern.

Fev are a club with lots of these disgusting problems, they shouldn't be allowed near SL. If anything happens at the game like this they should be punished heavily as a club.

So, we're all happy and jolly and looking forward to a feast of rugby league between two local rivals then. No? Thought not.

Doomy doomy gloomy.

I'm really looking forward to it....a classic local derby, 2 fierce rivals, chance of a cup upset - these are the sort of games we WANT the country to see surely ?

You've clearly never been to Fev



One and only place I ever got offered out for a fight.

i'm sure it was a wire player, it being indicative of a tony smith coached side.

Rugby league fans talking up the game again I see...

Rather than Fev v Cas being a PR disaster, I think Widnes v Saints will be the PR disaster with Saints winning by a cricket score.

I've been to Post Office Road a few times and have never had any problems in the ground or outside the ground.

Yeah, right! We held on against a depleted Cas on Monday in case you didn't notice, and we lost to Bradford. We aren't exactly setting the league alight this season. There is a very real chance Widnes will beat us on Saturday.

It's all your fault.

Hello Jackanory, maybe you should get the story right. Missiles were thrown by both sets of supporters over the police/steward lines. I’m informed that the first missiles were thrown from Cas fans. Stop making stuff up and except both sets of fans was to blame. Stop telling lies to the RL community so you can take the moral high ground!

"I'm informed"

In other words, "I don't have a clue because I was not there".

Leigh have had problems at Fev in the past, but this year went completely problem free.

Hope they've learned their lesson.

On a forum for RL supporters? I'm shocked.

And just before we continue kicking Fev whilst they're down (and it all seems pretty unanimous on here that Featherstone, be it the club or town, is the problem), can someone remind me which of the two clubs has paid more in crowd trouble-related fines in the past 3/4 years?

Wasn't there trouble at the Wakey v Cas in 2006 (I think) the relegation match? If there were and there was trouble at the Good Friday match, plus the fact that Fev have had their fair share of trouble I can see what the OP means.

What have ticket sales been like?

thread drift

Yes I was in the area from the start of the second half, all I could see was missile been thrown from both sets of fans. You can email the RFL all you want it doesn't make it fact that Wakey fans was the main culprits. You just can't admit you have a hooligan element, hence the previous fines. Is that £20K still suspended?

I was there and it was both supporters causing trouble, not one set only.
Funny how there was trouble at Cas V Hull KR, Cas V Hull FC, Wakefield V Cas and yet some Cas supporters
seem to think there fans were totally blameless in all games!

Wakefield V Hull KR was played a month or so ago and was attended by a similar crowd to the one last
week and not a hint of trouble. Funny that eh?

Never saw or heard of any trouble whatsover when we played them.
Only incident I can think of was Owen's dummy spit with the crowd when he tried to offer the entire stand out.

No trouble with Cas & KR supporters other then some paint getting lobbed at cars by a couple of kr fans. No bother in the ground, no bother with fc either.
