As there has been no mention of any disruptions I hope the united effort of all involved at stamping it out before it starts has succeeded .I would like to thank all concerned for this even though I sit in the Skircoat I think it would not be a fair example of our fans.I took my grandchildren to the game and they really enjoyed it I am proud of our supporters at matches and how they behave unlike from what I can gather of our ground sharing counterparts who today have brought themselves into disrepute big style.
Keep up the good work lets hope we keep on top of it.

More objects thrown

think it was only paper this time but still thrown... I really really can't understand why a steward can't be put back there but until someone gets proper wacked with something hey ho...

What happened with the football???

Saw something thrown but not sure what, Dont think it was a bottle though

As for the Football, 4 Red Cards in their game, 2 to each side, plus a load of bookings. Sounds like a Sunday League Pub Match

And that was just on the pitch from what I can gather they had to have the dogs and helicopters out to them and also I believe the ref got attacked.

Didnt make the game but sounds an absolute disgrace what happened. OK ref had a shocker by all accounts, but that does not excuse the actions of certain 'supporters'.

Apparently a bottle was thrown at the ref, a Town 'fan' knocked out the linesman, all hell kicked off outside by a local pub which I assume is when the copper chopper was launched.

Another depressing day in the history of Halifax Town.

I'm waiting to see how it works out to be Halifax RLFC's fault



Until I opened this thread up, I didn't know of any trouble, I presume Town had a game somewhere......

Dont be silly, its Geoff Butler's fault

i went to watch the shaymen yesterday. a fine or points deduction is unavoidable
the ref and beer were to blame though, them two together at a footy game was asking for trouble

You have to have a ref, it's part of the deal. Maybe stop the pi$$heads from entering a sporting stadium might be a better option, it is after-all the law nowadays.

Blame culture rears it's snotty face again. Name & shame that'd be better fun.

Beer in.....brains out!

Trust me, the ref was partly to blame for what happened.
Four sendings off and 12 yellow cards, it wasn't even a particularly dirty game.

It only happened because our playoff chances are now pretty much over as a result

Very immature statement, are you saying he incited a riot ?

And WRONG, "[iIt only happened because our playoff chances are now pretty much over as a result[/i", It only happened 'cos people don't know how to behave themselves.

So now that the play-off hopes are all but over, we can expect this sort of behaviour until the season's over, is that what you're saying ?
If any of these buffons think they can use the Halifax rugby league club as a vehicle for their unruly antics, point them out and Me, Yob & TS will have a word with them before they get their cowardish confidence up.

Football games are far nastier events than Rugby ones, everybody knows that.
I am not condoning what happened in any way, but the ref pretty much spolied everyones good friday.
There is absolutely no chance the town hooligans will start following fax, the friendly atmosphere wouldn't suit them.

Fax's new front row for the game against Haven? If you play well Widnes might be sniffing round!

Sounds like The Alkar Old Boys game in the North West Counties league Division 1 game Me and Eddie went to up in Barrow befor our game with the Raiders

. As for The throwing of objects Brew thretened that we should go stand with them next game and sort them out.

Thing is when I say sort them out, I mean with Heavy Blunt Objects



As for what alledgedly happpened at the Football, What a farce, They deserve to be at the level they are at.

The story on the courier website has comments attatched to it at the bottom of the article and someone has posted a link to a chat site, it appears that things could have been pre-arranged. Some fans' messageboard also appears to have been shutdown in the aftermath.

Was at the Town match and was pretty disgusted with some of the Town 'fans' behaviour.They were in the bar all match,threw cans onto pitch and went onto pitch at half time and then tried to get to the Ossett player who was sent off.He was the second Ossett player sent off and Town had already had 2 sent off so why that particular bloke was the target I don't know.Some friends of ours had to move their young grandson out of the way pretty quick and the stewards were quickly on th e scene.A lady kindly took our friends grandson into the directors room out of the way and we left as soon as the final whistle went.Again a minority will spoil things for the rest of us as there are bound to be repurcussions

sorry but int this a rugby leauge forum, if i wanted to read about those idiots i would be on there boards, i think we should just keep this to rugby, and let them get on with what they are doing, no doubt it will be us who r to blame, lets all just look forward to ower game monday and hopefully come home with 3 points

Should be ashamed of yourself as no way does the actions of a Referee no matter how bad excuse the way people physically attack anybody! If you think thats OK then you really are one sad moron. When young children are frightened and "Mentally" scarred by Drunken thugs then the people who act like animals as well as those who think its funny or OK should be names, Shamed and banned from all Sports Grounds for ever as well as spending some time inside. There is no excuse for a referee and Players to be treated in such a respectless way by anybody. I hope the Football fans and Club find these people and name and shame them in the courier and pass as much info on to the Police.

I am not a fan of halifax Town but feel sorry for the genuine fans and the club itself who have had enough problems as it is.

All I am saying is that without beer and the worst refereeing performance in living history yesterday, the events would not have unfolded

Errr yeah OK Brew.

Sorry but do not agree. If somebody has a problem with drink and getting easily wound up then either stop drinking-seek help or do not go to a Family event. The ref was very poor fair enough, but I personally do not think it gives somebody the right to throw bear over him or attack people. The Ref is like all of us-a human being who makes mistakes, has bad days and has other things which can effect his performance. Without the Ref you have no game. I feel there is not enough respect for Refs in Sport as whatever they do they are wrong and they know they will get a load of verbal abuse-yet still turn up and usually try the best. I have Reffed at Rugby League a couple of times and its bloody hard work with communicating with your linesmen etc as well as talking to the players. I guess Soccer is also a tough sport to Ref
For people to throw bear at him and others is just way out of line and a disgrace. I would hope the people responsible are caught.

I respect that but the hatred at football matches is far greater than rugby ones, they cannot be compared and this will not change. That's why you are not allowed to drink while the game is on by the FA- a rule that is seldom adhered to at unibond games.
People are moaning about the 'vast minority' that are at fault. Believe me those abusing the ref after yesterday's game were by no means a minority.

Either bring this thread back on topic or I'm locking it.
