Quote: Fax4Life "I am sorry to read yet again a RL club official try deflect the blame away from themselves.
There was NO WAY the Fax fans being on the pitch was the cause of the trouble after the game and sadly Daves attack. Yes it got a bit hot for a liitle while when the Fev fans rushed towards us and then with some gesticulating going on by a few fans of both sides but the trouble was solely because Fev LOST.
Accept it, SOME Fev fans and I stress some could not take defeat and acted like football hooligans and wanted to 'quieten us', I felt very intimidated going back to my coach.'"
Exactly, it was only the some that have ruined it for everyone. Jeez, it's like being at school again! When will these spanners learn that because of their idiocy the whole game of RL has been brought into disrepute?
When we were making our on to the pitch I could see a few of our support had gone over chant at the Fev fans which I thought may have sparked things off.
However, looking at the replay on SKY you can clearly see a section of the Fev support start streaming down the steps from the back of their stand before any of our lot had made it anywhere near them.
If the roles were reversed and I saw their fans going on to the pitch my first thought would not be, I know let's run on as well!
Reading elsewhere, the only reason there were stewards in that area and stopped most them entering the pitch area was because they were chucking out some Fev fans for having a go at the section of the York support.
And as for the fire, well yes our fans were the majority in number but that still doesn't prove it was one of us.
