That's good to know. First time I had witnessed any issues at Wakey. Was fine for MPG.

Well I made my feelings known at the time so I won't be going over old ground but I feel the punishment is fair. Personally I can't remember ever feeling so uncomfortable at a RL match as I did that day with my young family.

There goes more money we could spend on more players

Any truth in rumour that they're going to share the fine money out amongst the other SL clubs?

Completely against anyone's sense of natural justice, but it has to be like this I guess; quite how a club is meant to prevent this kind of thing I'm not sure, but it is important to respond appropriately when it does.

hope we appeal, I thought it was a case of Bradford starting offensive chanting against Wakefield then crying when they got a response from a few of our idiots

I'm not sure it's for non prevention but rather for not acting quickly enough to shut it down. The stewards in that area did not do their job and therefore the chanting went on too long and the culprits weren't identified so weren't ejected.

The idiots have cost the club £11,000 with £10,000 more if it happens again, what morons.

Correct me if im wrong but wasnt the stewards employed to stopnthis type of behaviour so surely it shiuld be them that pay the fine

If it was to happen at a challenge cup final where all fans stand together would the RFL be liable.

The simple fact is it shouldn't have happened. Thank's Morons!

Vey harsh for the club to suffer but them's the rules.

It's not just offensive, it's illegal (although the word "insulting" has been removed from Section 5 of the Public Order Act, it is still "abusive"icon_wink.gif.

The RFL are right to act, because otherwise there become no limits. Although rugby league has always struggled to recruit from many of the ethic minority communities, a source of pride has always been that there was little, if any, racism shown towards black players many decades before football got a grip of the situation. To put that in context, John Barnes was getting bananas thrown at him at a time when Great Britain had a black captain in Ellery Hanley.

The morons need to take a long, hard look at themselves.

You're absolutely right Slugger the morons need a head shake.
But.......How many times do we here the South stand at Headingley singing about the referee being a w*nker? Isn't that classed as being abusive? I'm pretty sure if you constantly abused a police officer with the w*nker jibe you'd be arrested. It always comes over particularly clear on TV so should Leeds expect a fine? It's been going on for ages at Leeds, they obviously haven't taken precautions to stop it.

Depends which ref.

Probably describes them all but still abusive, it makes even me cringe when I hear it broadcast.

I have made this comment for years. No effort has been made by Leeds to stop this abusive chanting.
