| Seen a few comments on twitter about trouble at Wakefield being described as a 'mass brawl' has anyone heard anything?

| Bit of handbags on the pitch with Matt Ryan and a few Saints players but nothing in the crowd. Subdued crowd throughout the 2nd half meant we could've done with some excitement. A rifle might have come in handy too.

"Mass brawl" in the crowds after the game. All I know so far

| One incident is being talked about on twitter. I saw nothing though and it was fairly jovial between both sets of fans where I was.

| This would never happen if Wakefield had a segregation policy.

Not sure what point you think you're making.
There is no segregation at Wakey this year.

| What is it with Wakefield, every time I go there their fans want to spend more time aggravating the away fans than watching the game. Not surprised there are incidents there.

| Don't know why we make a huge deal of isolated incidents. Every time we have an incident rival fans try to drag this up, and I don't know what they get out of it. I don't think Wakefield have a huge problem, I've been there on a number of occasions and never once felt intimidated.

| Large fight broke out directly behind my parents who were at the game. Saints fans were chanting "easy" ironically, wakey fans didn't respond well, and it devolved from there (according to their account)
Whether minor or not, it shouldn't happen at any game.

Agree. Rarely felt anything other than welcomed at various RL grounds I've been to and if there has been any "bad feeling" it has generally involved some youngster with too much ale....hardly a RL issue.

These things do tend to be circular so a week after a few s cause a bit of trouble people scrutinise the crowd the next time and things get blown out of proportion. Then it dies down and another club has a "mini crisis". But honestly, I've rarely felt intimidated at the rugby and whilst alcohol can cause problems that goes for whatever activity it's linked with. I'm not sure what we're achieving by blowing these incidents out of proportion week after week. I strongly doubt we have a hooligan crisis.

we get it every year from so called wakey fans moving from the end of the western terrace to the north terrace and vice versa, on at least 4 occasions they have tried to start fights with giants supporters on the western terrace. luckily our fans are a bit more intelligent and try not to get involved, but there is a problem with some wakefield supporters.

| I was there and for some time after the game and didn't notice anything at all. I'm not saying there wasn't anything, but if there was, it sounds isolated. But like some have said, there's always a couple of meatheads who are spoiling for something. The Saints fans are some of the best in the league and why anyone would want to have a go is beyond me.

| I walked from where I stand in the Northstand right the way round and out of the exit where the majority of Saints fans were stood and saw nothing? Didn't see a rush of security staff, any great number of them together or anything......easy for someone to write 'mass brawl' somewhere on the internet and it to be taken as gospel....
Decent fans the Saints lot and so are the majority of Wakey fans, and just about all teams to be honest....all teams will have a fair few numpty's.....sure if any have proved to have caused trouble they will be banned like the last lot....it's all the club an do....

How do you know it was the Wakefield fans?
I've seen just one eye witness comment from a Sts fan who was there and he says it was the Sts fans goading the Trinity fans and they got a reaction but nothing to worry about.
I was at the game and didn't see any fighting at all so how much of a "Mass Brawl" can it have been.
At the end of the game two of us Wakefield fans walked through the West stand terracing where all the Sts fans were to get to the exit near where we were parked and there wasn't a single bad word or contentious action being made by Wakefield or Sts fans.
So I ask again how bad can it have been?
