Yes the club did admit it happened, but I believe they bottled out, because it wasn't their fault (if you call chanting half a dozen kids who couldn't be heard by the majority of those at the game, including the guy from the RFL sat in the stand), even then when the club was made aware of this at the game (it must have been by stewards near to the kids, because as I say, sat in the stand we couldn't hear it), the club played the respect CD to drowned out anything that was or could have been of an offensive nature, don't know what more could have been done and especially why the club should have to fork out such a large amount for something they had very little chance of controlling any more than they did.
As I say, this was blown out of all proportion by the guy who was the alleged subject of these stupid kids taunts, I have no idea how he could have even heard it, let alone how he would fear for his safety, it will probably sell him a few books.
I thought when he first came out, it was a brave decision to make, but I've since grown to despise him for what he has done and realise it was an act of a man at the back end of his rugby career setting his stall out to make a few quid.
