The Daily Mail article is rather misleading.

Salford dont get 800 fans attending home games, how would they manage take 800 fans to a place like Huddersfield???

EVERY SL club has some idiots amongst its supporters and Salford are no exception.
The key is to find the culprits and fine them and try to ban them.
Unfortunately, the reality of banning supporters is extremely difficult especially as a "nationwide" ban which is
impossible to police.

Regarding the alcohol thing, it's a crying shame that a small minority cant control themselves after a few pints
but, this is a society problem and not exclusive to RL.
Not selling drink in the ground would possibly be a good thing but, it punishes the majority because of the actions
of a few idiots. Plus, beer sales are a major income stream for most clubs so, this becomes a lose/lose situation.

A fine and warning about future conduct will be the outcome.

I have just a report from the Batley v Dewsbury game, which sounded much worse than what I witnessed at Huddersfield. Apparently both Batley and Dewsbury fans were fighting amongst themselves in the stands during the game? Odd how this doesn't warrant national media attention, when it sounds like an actual punch was thrown unlike at the Salford v Huddersfield game.

Weird how professional sportsmen holding their own fans to the ground under the implicit threat of ultraviolence in the proximity of professional photographers somehow generates more column inches than Dewsbury fans arguing amongst themselves in a flat-roofed pub . I would imagine it's a conspiracy against Salford.

Don't agree just get rid of the people who caused it why punish the rest of us with fines and point deductions. Moaning Bradford fans cost my club a fortune because a tiny group of peed up youth apparantly sang some mildly racist songs. I'm not defending and why should I, frankly I don't care it wasn't my fault and it wasn't WTRLFC's fault - only in hindsight can we know these people are s. Anyway in the scheme of the things compared to the racist/sectarian genocide being comitted by ISIS, Russia and NATO in the middle east it's nothing. I'm sick of people who just love being offended by almost anything and who seem to want to suffer the abuse by proxy.

So as ever the lowest common denominator wins every time. I don't know how satisfied our over sensitive Bradfordites were at the resultant fine but I can assure you it didn't cost the perpatrators a penny nor I suspect do they care or feel any remorse. It did cost our Chairman Michael Carter who paid some of the bill and it probably cost a yongster the chance to join the first team to make up the rest.

So everyones a winner and the ethnic minorities of Bradford can sleep easy in their beds knowing the a visit to BV will be a joy for them from now on, or at least it would be if they ever went in the first place or where actually bothered in any way by what happened or in fact are even aware of what happened.

Feel free to be outraged.

Just seems to me that RL fans ain't got the hang of this hooliganism lark yet. They fight among themselves rather with the opposition! Actually, I suspect it is more a case of inbreeding and frustration at not getting onto the Jeremy Kyle show despite numerous applications.

PS The Dewsbury incident - was that the one I saw on video were a few women were having a minor set to in a bar? It's a family game girls - you are upsetting the men and boys.

You're not defending it. You're just saying it's someone else's fault entirely. Specifically, you're saying it's the fault of the people it was perpetrated against. They are the cause of the fine.

You are quite right to say these fines do nothing though. Look at you right now, f'rinstance.

Bang on Vasty. The 20 grand fine WTW was harsh but the bar was already set by a dozen morons at my club (Tigers) a couple of years earlier - the Gareth Thomas chant.

Not sure how this has turned into a Bradford bashing thread.

The moaning Bradford fans didn't cost your club the money. It was the idiots doing the racist chanting and chants about the Bradford City fire.

I feel sorry for the genuine wakey fans as you say,it was a minority. But RFL cant be seen just to do nothing.

*fan

And the poster who said you should have points deduction is a well know WUM

When more than 95% of fans can have a good drink and enjoy themselves and cause no bother at all and when flares and smoke bombs do actually add to a big sporting fan occasion sometimes?

Oh dear.

Because turning a blind eye to the issue of alcohol for the sake of the majority is working so well. We are not going to solve these problems by pussy footing around.

And who on earth (apart from braindead hooligans) think smoke bombs and flares are a good idea?

Hull FC fans thought smokebombs were a good idea last Friday.

Neither of these things happened but I guess it makes your fans sound not so bad.

The media have blown it totally out of proportion and sadly the image of Sau grappling the fan make things look a hundred times worse, making him look like the aggressor in the situation.

I'm not denying we at Widnes don't have our share of numpties, a few received bans after the Cas semi final, it's how the decent fans react to the situation.
