Leeds Fans..

Wow! It is therefore acceptable to engage in physical violence should you object to someone supporting their team? What an odious individual you must be. I am sure the relevant authorities will deal with this in the correct manner, irrespective of how vociferous the fan involved was.

Quote: Wainers "I too was sat in the North Stand. I have to say that after 15-20 I said to my brother that there would be trouble. Whilst you may not have realised it, you were coming across as someone who just wanted to wind the home fans up from the momement the game started.

Now banter should be allowed at games and you should be able to support your team without fear of being involved in a fight for doing so. HOWEVER, it was seemingly clear to everyone bar yourself that by continuing to 'support' your team in the manner that you were doing so, would only end up with one outcome. Sometimes you can have the 'banter' during a first half, have a sensible chat with the opposition fans at half time, start again for the 2nd half then shake hands at the end of the game and wish each other luck for the rest of the season. That's the great thing about our game.

Sometimes, you just need to shut up if you can see a situation escalating into something more confrontational. Sadly, you seemed oblivious to the obvious warning signs and carried on shouting at any Leeds fan who told you to be quiet. Am certainly not condoning the actions of one or two Leeds fans - there is no place for that in Rugby. But, to then see you continue your crusade after the altercation rather than ensure that your clearly distressed children were ok, was beyond belief to myself and the other Leeds fans around us.

If you have now placed this in the matter of the Leeds club and the police then I will also be contacting them to hopefully put a balanced perspective on the incident.'"
