Hope they all get banned.

Such a shame. One of the things I love about RL is that the fans mingle and have a laugh and there is hardly ever any trouble, even in passionate local derbys. Unfortunately there are always knobs on both sides and likewise, there are then always people who end up getting dragged in.

As I put in the BEER! post, I was far from impressed with the stewards last night, I don't know what the standard of stewarding is like compared to football - with their being fewer incidents fo crowd trouble do they tend to use staff with less experience of dealing with violent situations as they mainly seem to... do nothing if I'm honest! Crowd control and direction possibly? Tell you not to stand where you're stood?!

With regards to people getting upset when crowd trouble is compared to football... I don't think it should be taken personally to be honest! We all know and recognise that the majority of football fans (myself included) go and watch games and drink in pubs with fans from other teams without any trouble and feel oppressed by the security and rules that are put in place (I went to see York City at Wembley and every pub around the ground was for 'home/Stevenage' fans and, despite being told that pubs for City fans were down the road we never did find one...) However, unfortunately the rules are there for a reason and as we see every time Leeds play Millwall, when the West Ham fans were rioting last year and when the Luton fans attacked the York players in the playoffs at the end of last season, there is still an element who go to games looking for a scrap and there is still an organised 'Ultra' element to some of that violence. It's a fact, it's a minority, it probably happens more because there are a lot more football clubs and therefore more football fans than rugby fans. Football will always be the bar to which other sports are held up because of the trouble that used to happen at games and, despite the largely successful work done to clean up the game, it still happens and it's left the rest of us suffering.

I think the stewards leave a lot to be desired. There was a young lad trying to police where we were standing, he looked about 12.

It was an absolute disgrace!!...All involve should be banned for life!!

I was stood near the incident and would be happy to point out the individuals to the Bulls or the Police.

One guy appeared to be kicking someone whilst on the floor. A steward was luckily stopping him in the act.
ABSOLUTE DISGRACE!!!

anyone fighting should be banned from all games we don t want this in rugby it s a family game

Anyone fighting whatever the situation should be banned. A fight is a fight it takes 2 and bOth parties concerned (even the one going on on here about being innocent) need to be banned. He was very quick to get his version of events accross wasn't he.......!

Probably because it doesn't work in the SS turnstyles or allow you access to the SS.

Hang on let me get this right, a Leeds fan got excited to got chinned for it. Well that sounds just tickerty boo does that. Here's an idea, point him out to a steward and have them removed. If you were involved in the altercation regardless of motive you deserved to be banned.

If I was to use your same motivation for blind violence then after a majority of Bradford tries I should have attacked Bullman as on many occasions he ran from the half way line to goad in the direction of the Leeds travelling support behind the sticks.

For me anyone who cannot use the correct channels of security measures deserves to be banned outright. Retaliation is not legal and a brawl doesn't sound like self defence

Pathetic....thats all I have on this one!

If that is all you had, you would have been better off not posting at all.

The stewards were pathetic, after the game I was playing rugby outside the touchdown with a few family members and we *ahem* 'listened' in on the stewards conversation and the lead steward said; 'Todays performance was very poor, there was a fightand it took you 10 minutes to respond thats disgraceful, some stood there and watched and soe shrugged their shoulders, absolutly unacceptable.' She was tearing into them.

Oh look who is here! The mighty mystic eddie!

I was actually refering to the poor stewarding that seems to escalate situations!- idiot!
