Sorry mate, but I'm gonna whine until the idiots in our crowd get it - stop dicking about and support the team.

The actions of a few wether that be fighting or flares should not over shadow the excellent support both teams brought to the match and more importantly the excellent game we were lucky enough to witness

I don't think anyone is letting it spoil their day.
I'm still smiling and I haven't had chance to talk to my best mate (who is a long time Cas fan) so I have an entertaining phone call ahead.

But the fact remains, some people who don't know how to behave in public spoil the atmosphere for others.
It doesn't take much to put people off attending sporting events so any crowd disturbance is not preferred. The trouble outside was not good and they should be banned too but outside the ground it is more for the police than the club. Inside, it's all on the club.

Put forum on to read about match and met by this.
Idiots!Was in Glassblowers before and aft.No problems . Friendly banter with Cas' fans. Stood at railway and saw nothing.Well, the flares or whatever they were.
Along Wheldon Road after and saw no sign of 'trouble'.
Remarked to my son that everyone seemed in good spirits and now I read of fighting.
Deflating.

If smoke bombs are prohibited isn't this more of a club issue for Cas and their security arrangements than it is for Trinity? Yes, ban individuals but surely, if there's a fine in the offing, it should be for Cas not us?

I suppose thats a bit like blaming the Leigh club for the actions of the Widnes "fans" at last years CC semi-final.

I shouldn't get too deflated to be honest, if you put 10,000 vicars together you'd get some sort of altercation.

Why? did Widnes fans throw smoke bombs on to the pitch?
Stupid comparison

I think the game chat is all a bit subdued because we area ll so stunned.
We were playing ok but Cas were getting the points and we were dropping the ball.
It's just something we need to clean up. Shouldn't distract from what was an outstanding result for us.

The players celebrated like they'd won Super League.

I don't know, do Cas have a suspended fine hanging over their heads for previous trouble like we have??

What is pathetic is your attempt to dismiss this as nothing. The club have a suspended fine hanging over them from the incident with Widnes previously and this "nothing" incident will probably cost the club £10,000. Still think it's not worth worrying about?? Will you still feel that way if we have to let someone go to cover the cost of paying the fine?? or if we get an injury and there is no money in the pot to go out and get a loan player in because we've had to spend it on this??

Banning them is not pathetic, it is the right thing to do. What they did was dangerous whether you think it was or not and is also not allowed inside sports stadia (just because you've seen it on TV in football matches doesn't make it OK).

And I suggest you might like to invest in a new watch if you thought that was only 10 seconds.

Sorry but your world is a million miles from mine, I guess you probs thing that driving using your mobile should carry the same penalty as genocide

For the record, it is illegal to carry a smoke bomb/firework/flare (all items treated the same) in to a sports stadium and carries a maximum sentence of 3 months, setting off said item in a stadium would also be subject to a 3 months sentence, in football it is a mandatory 3 year ban for carrying out either of the afore mentioned acts. But it's worth noting, this was carried out by 1 or 2 individuals, the events at Leigh sports village involved over 150 "Widnes Fans" (that's how many entered the pitch. to suggest that 2 people behaving like mens genitals is the same as 150+ thugs running riot is ludicrous to say the least

BTW at the time they went off in the ground my initial thoughts were "What gentleman's sausage has done that as regardless of result that will be the headline tomorrow" They need prosecuting to the letter of the law (3 months prison) and banning for 3 years from any sports ground in the UK
