there was plenty of stewards to cope with normal rugby league fans not a bunch of animals like Queens, i Hope they are never allowed to play again! that would be the correct thing to happend to them. they are a disgrace to the rugby league!

Doncaster had scored 16 points to 10 in the second half, they had scored the last two tries and gaps where starting to appear in what had been a solid Queens defence ! not sure at all that Queens would have won, but they had given as good as they had got for 55 minutes.

Never had one sent off for a few seasons as well.

just watched the video.what a set of W*NKERS.Thank christ we didnt play them.Fans my ar*e

I've just watched it. Shocked is an understatement, how was there only 3 arrests? Our kid was playing on saturday so we weren't there but I'm glad from what I've seen. There is an occassional 'disagreement' at games and even more rarely it goes further (Hull KR away a couple of years ago springs to mind) but Never like this.
Ive been involved with rugby league in many guises for well over 20 years now, and only had major spectator problems with 3 amateur clubs-Hunslet Parkside, Middleton (earlier this season) and the now disbanded Earlsheaton. And what have two of these clubs got in common with Queens?
No prizes for guessing I'm afraid.

Where you were sat was the south end of the east stand.

This incident happened closer to the north end of the east stand.

I haven't mistaken anybody. I know what I saw.

As for racist comments, I don't know, but in over 20 years of attending
games involving Doncaster RLFC I can say - hand on heart - I have never
experienced any racism from any Donny fan first hand.

I attend games with my wife, daughter, son and dad and have never
worried about their safety. However, thanks to the degenerates that
passed themselves off as Queens fans this has now changed.

I can understand your loyalty to your club but I think it is misplaced.
This was not caused by Doncaster. It was cause by Queens.
If I were a genuine Queens and RL supporter I would have immediatley
denounced the behaviour of these reprobates and offered a full and
contrite apology to every man, woman and especially child who had to
witness these atrocious scenes. You, however, seem to condone this
behaviour and as such should hang your head in shame.

I know a lad that got sent off at Moorends for Brotherton then in the shower got beat up by 2 players that wernt playing that day, Moorends are no better than Queens just not as many supporters

Suggest you watch another Bloody Sunday

So you think there weren't enough stewards so you were expecting trouble from your 'fans' then?

I've been to rugby games at the Keepmoat in the past, the security was fine to cope with a typical match, obviously it wasn't enough to cope with the animals that followed the Queens team.

I'm not the only person that has said the match officials were spat on, and I would think that hearing it from them is good enough, can't see them lying really.

I'm not taking anything away from the team, it sounds like they were putting up a good fight and wanted the win. Just a shame the thugs that followed them that day have probably screwed it up for the team getting to the next stage.

I still stand by what I said, Queens should be thrown out of the competition for this at the least, you can't put other people in danger at grounds where the thugs are likely to follow. Disbanding the club wouldn't be a bad idea either, the RFL is the sports governing body so what ever they decide to do at the end of the day goes.

It's all disgusting, I hope everyone involved gets well and truly screwed over!

Thank God it wasn't my first ever game of RL as a spectator because I would never darken the Keepmoat's doors again.

I'm shocked, appalled, saddened, emabarrassed and ashamed all at the same time.

I don't want to comment on it because I thankfully wasn't near enough to witness it but if it ever happens again, I quit.

What a vagina you are. Your turn.

Once remember QUEERS trying the same bullying tactics @ upton a few yrs ago in a cup game.. LOL they didnt even come back into the club afterwards got mullered on and off the pitch

I can remember John Cogger getting a slap off somebody.

I think he was playing for Oldham 88/89 ish..?

I have a feeling that was in his Runcorn Highfield days.

I put Runcorn first then changed it to Oldham.

I know about ABS, but I'm talking about in the 16 years I've been watching The Dons.

I've read on another forum (think it was bbc 606 last night not sure though), but Queens fans blaming Doncaster fans for being, wait for it....

homophobic and racist

Trying to sling everything at us now to shift the blame

There were a couple of posts on 606 saying something like that, and the tone on the Total RL forums is placing the blame firmly at the door of Queens.

Not sure at this moment in time brininging up Bloody Sunday and an incident from years ago helps any situation here?

As much as this is topical - best interest for all is if this thread is killed.

Let the powers decide and sort it out...

On the free press website, it says the attendance was 595. Seemed a lot more than that to me.

595 crowd and 75 rioting, depressing very depressing

No mate. It wasn't when he was at Runcorn.

didnt look north say that this was the first rugby league game cancelled in 75 years.

just found this on youtube, not allowed to youtube links are we, so on youtube search for oldham v leigh 08 01 84

that was called off by the referee for fighting

Anyone know why the Queens player was given the yellow card following the touch judge going on to the field to speake to the ref just before the game was stopped? Reported in league express as "dissent" but wonder what was said.
