Well there are Asians in aggbrigg and you made your thoughts on that part of the community quite clear last year.
Hence the suspended fine from RFL.
I've met some really nice people from Wakefield. Councillor Box for example. When - at work- we wanted to build our new cold store at Newmarket he was very helpful. Certainly a lot less small minded than those Wakefield fans offended at us standing in their ground last season.

| Quote: Maccbull_BigBullyBooaza "Hudgell on Twitter describing hull KR fans as being "dignified". Nothing condemning what happened.
So clearly he'll blame it on a minority and seek to sweep it under the carpet.
If he isnt prepared to face up to reality then the RFL have to throw the book at them.
Empty stadium next year only solution. Id also relegate Salford because their fans are trash too.
We can continue to say it's only a minority or sort out clubs with a clear problem.
It was the championship shield final today at odsal. Thank goodness for our sport that after a fiercely contested showpiece of the British sporting calendar there was no repeat of yesterday's mass disorder.
Hopefully the rest of us decent people can move on and start to repair the damage done to the sport's reputation.'"
There was no trouble because no one gives a sh*t about the championship shield. ''Showpiece of the sporting calender'' - you must be trolling.
I always laugh when people go on about incidents like this doing ''damage to the game''. No bugger turns up to games as it is. No bugger want's to sponsor the sport as it is. In the entire 20 years history of super league there's been a handful of crowd incidents that have made headlines. It's not like full on football hooliganism, it doesn't really make much difference either way, the game is small time, and as such the impact of such incidents is small.

Obviously! so rather than accept they did wrong an quietly put it behind them and get on with life they make a show of it!
Pathetic IMO, and just makes the ill feeling towards their owner, their club and their fans even worse.

| Quote: Adamjk "Definitely. I couldn't make it to the game unfortunately as I had to be somewhere else but I messaged my mate on Friday predicting there'd be trouble regardless of the result. It should have been one of the first things on people's minds when planning the stewarding/policing arrangements for the game.'"
Which says more about the 2 sets of fans more than anything! why would there or should there be trouble?
There was no talk of trouble last week, but yet a similar scenario, so why this?
Because obviously there are elements of both clubs' support that really can't be trusted to behave an shouldn't be let into a sports ground, sober or not.

| Quote: Derek Smalls "My observations (FWIW)
That's what I saw too. Admittedly, only from the TV and YouTube videos. It shows Salford fans running on to the pitch to celebrate.
I have no doubt some Salford idiots will likely have gone over to the Rovers lot and goaded them too, but that's no excuse to come on to the pitch. The thought going through some Rovers fans' heads I imagine was that they'd go on and "put them in their place" when what they really did was embarrass themselves, their club, the city and the sport. What possible other reason could a Rovers fan have had to come on to the pitch?
Celebrating on the field, whilst I don't condone it, isn't exactly a scandal. Fighting on it is.

| I was in the well very close to the Salford fans in the north stand with roughly 5 minutes to go large numbers of Salford fans started to push towards the pitch you could see the trouble coming.at that point they were fairly consigned to losing it seemed.as we saw the game changed and they understandably went nuts.saw a few push peacock and few other players this is what brought people out of the East stand few minutes of chaos then cops came in hard. Went on around the ground on and off for what seemed like a good while.it was bad.but I believe it would have been much worse if we had of won.there was a bunch of 70/80 salford fans intent on fighting either way.

What thoughts were they sunshine, do elaborate (with evidence) - slander is an offence even on the internet.
You're just trolling now - yep of course you've met Box and of course you've something to do with the Cold Store at NM

Wouldn't it be libel if it's on an Internet message board? It's got to be untrue and it is true that Wakefield fans were hit with a suspended fine following offensive chanting. But please feel free to talk to a solicitor about it.
Nice bloke councilor Box. The cold store is just another example of businesses moving into Wakefield and creating jobs. If you've got a problem with that you're a very strange human being.

However insignificant it may be personally to you - and essentially a trophy for finishing fifth is not the best piece of silverware I'll freely admit. I'm just glad to have played my part in the first professional rugby league game in the country to take place after yesterday's sickening spectacle going off without incident. Starting the ball rolling in helping to rebuild the sport's reputation.
As for the damage you say it was in the national press today and has now made it onto the daily mail site. It was on sky sports news earlier. Sponsors don't want to be associated with that.

| Sad to see fans of other clubs desperately filled with false outrage of a bit of a nothing disturbance, hoping for points deduction, record fines, expulsion from the game, playing behind closed doors. Some people must lead very sheltered lives, You see fans goading other sets of fans then cry like babies to stewards send emails to the RFL get their phones out etc post on forums when they get a response, hoping that club gets fine etc. That's the mindset of some of the so called RL family.

Not saying that didn't happen with some fans, just saying what I have seen
Shame we are discussing this rather than the greatest 2 minutes of rugby I have ever seen. Ok I may be biased
Some of Salfords fans must be blind because they ran straight past there players towards the east stand to goad and as for commiserating with our players ask Josh. Mantallato how he felt when one of your fans smacked him sorry I mean commiserated with him

This is what I saw too. Not all, but some went into the pitch with the intention of goading and taunting the Hull KR fans.
Rather like their owner waving around his £1m "cheque".
