If you where a member of the group I saw being refused entry then at the very least some of you came very close if not actually causing a breach of the peace.

Some of you appeared to be completely drunk and one of your group, a rather rotund women, dressed as some sort of fairy I think, was using extremely abusive language and threatening behaviour towards either a police woman or female steward. Other members of your group were having to be restrained by sheer weight of numbers of the police and stewards, I have no doubt that if there had been less police and stewards then the incident would have been an awful lot more serious.

Two of you appeared to be about to be arrested, one dressed as Fred Flintstone I think one of you may have been in hand cuffs, but I'm not sure as we went into the ground.

If this was your group then I felt embarrassed to be wearing a Hull KR shirt due to your friends behaviour. If this is your idea of a fun day out then I sincerely hope you find other ways of enjoying your leisure time. May I suggest free climbing on Vaseline smeared rock faces.

If it wasn't your group then I apologise.

I suppose there could have been another drunk group of supporters dressed as a rotund fairy, Fred Flintstone and Superman ?

Just thought I'd better put it in as a caveat, but no, highly unlikely.

The rotund bit wasn't part of the costume but a permanent fixture.

I hope at least some of them enjoyed a night in the dungeon at Bridewell.

"We are more ashamed of them than you, just recently our away support has been getting tarred by these so called fans. Witnessed them at Wire, Wigan, Salford and Cas so I won't hold my breath that they all get banned on the back of tonight. "

Dum Dum i think you will find hardly none of us were at wigan or salford and only a few of us went to cas! So i do not know what you have apparently witnessed. Most of us go the majority of away games but not once have we caused trouble at any of these games that you have mentioned.

Be fair, out of 3,000,000 away fans you're bound to get one or two troublemakers

It was a generalisation of troublesome fans, "they" being any that have caused trouble at away games. If you weren't in the ground at Leeds then you weren't the ones fighting at around 70mins and as such your conscience can be clear on that one, doesn't detract from the 'trouble' you did cause at this game and the pubs outside.

PS. Did you cause trouble at Wire?

RL are going down the route of having banning orders like in football. I think that means that those given the orders are banned from all grounds. As you say at the moment many of those banned are free to go to away grounds.

At the moment there is only one individual with a RL banning order.

Difficult to police if you have general standing areas and pay-on-the-gate ?

Its only going to work if the culprit is put off by any legal sanctions if he/she is found inside a ground, if they are not recognised and don't really care anyway then they can freely attend anywhere.

I don't know the sanctions of the RL banning order but you're right. As for recognising them that's another issue too.

The one chap who is the only one so far with a RL banning order has his details and photo distributed around all the different police divisions so he should be quite easily identified by the fuzz on duty. I expect his mug shot is at all the RL clubs too to pass on to stewards.

Judging by the antics yesterday I'd say Fred Flintstone and Superman should be quite easy to identify too

If people were to be put on some sort of watch list then although difficult to stop them attending at least if they did attend and got caught causing trouble again the sanctions taken against them could be more far reaching than merely being ejected from the ground and given a caution.

The theory that an individual person can be picked out of a crowd of 15000 other people by a turnstile operator or student in a hi-viz stewards jacket simply by showing them a photo at some random point in the past is one that always amuses me.

But I suppose it makes the games administrators feel that they've done something.

And it keeps a lawyer or two in business too...

I know it's a serious issue and everything, but the mental image of all this kicking off is bloody hilarious.

Wiiiiilllllmaaaaaaa...

I rather like the sound of this rotund femail, even if she does have a whiff of the harbour about her.

Did anyone get a picture?
