I didn't see how I started as we were at the opposite end to the "fans" in question but as they were being ejected at the end we were located there were 2 maybe 3 throwing punches and kicks as Stewards and several others getting involved in pushing.

Blumming heck measty, I'm surprised you managed to see any of the game watching all that going on.

I have to laugh at these threads, especially the mock Daily Mailesque outrage of some.

Every Saturday night across the land hundreds of folk are arrested for drink fuelled public order offences some extremely violent or even fatal but most accept the reality of the situation.

A RL match is in some ways an even more explosive situation yet these events are relatively uncommon and it amazes me it doesn't kick off more often. Crowds, beer, mob mentality, human nature, passions ignited - some will always respond badly it's human nature what do you expect?

It was hardly a powder keg atmosphere due to size of the support and also the fact that it actually happened before kick off.

To use the fact it goes on elsewhere in other walks of life so who cares is an odd stance to take.i was at the match with 20 10 year old kids. Thankfully they are old enough and wise enough not to carry in like the idiots did.

Ok it wasn't exactly terrible scenes of violence but it is still unacceptable in a family environment and any environment to be fair.

We sell ourselves as a family sport and any antisocial behaviour is unacceptable.

It also gives the small but brilliant following that we took and the club an unwanted rep by association with a few idiots.

We were sat near them and Jonh it happen at half time 1 person ran down to the other end to me it looked like he wanted to sit down at that end as we were going to be playing that way, But the stewards intervened rightly so thats when it kicked off 1 woman ran down there to have words but came back and then the big bloke went down after he had thrown the steward out of is way then it kicked off again ,dont know what happen after that to them.

I'm a Cas fan, and I do mean it when I say good luck in the middle eight's, and hope you'r our opponents for another three games next season.

We may be bitter rivals on the field, and for some, off it, but we all come from the WMDC area, and long may it last, once again the very best of luck.

It had to be you.

Never said it was a powder keg but if it helps I’ve been to Alton Towers twice in my life and seen a fist fight both times - does that analogy help.

Who says RL is a family game! It never has been in the 30 years I’ve watched it. Sure it has a much better track record than football the other great working class sport. However it’s always been tribal and there have always been incidents.

This family stuff is something SKY have forced on us with Hemmings and his nonsense. We are a generally good natured lot but not saints - crowd trouble will happen the law of averages tells you that.

I’m glad we have a generally good crowd record in RL. I also hope these people are dealt with by due process and punished accordingly. However I’m not going to join you on the moral soap box. These things happen but thankfully not very often - move on and enjoy the game - I won’t lose any sleep over it.

Given we have a suspended find hanging over our heads for crowd behaviour issues earlier this season then i think the club will want the culprits finding and banning asap to show it is taking the matter extremely seriously. Otherwise it could get costly.

As an official complaint been raised.

No I doubt an official complaint has been raised because it was nothing. Some of you clowns are making a bigger deal than it actually was

i'm pretty sure the injured steward wouldn't see it as nothing, or i'm pretty sure if your club was fined, yet again, for the behaviour of some of it's fans, i doubt they'd see it as nothing either.

The police got involved and let it go. I hope the steward is ok, I'm sure he is. People are dragging it on on here because they have sad little lives with nothing better to do. If you felt so strongly about it why didn't you confront the guys involved?

oh dear!

i presume you were involved?

Well you presume wrong. I wasn't at the game. I do know what happened though and it's been dealt with.
