and now you'll point me to where it was stated that away fans were not allowed in other areas. The initial release was poorly worded, but it never said that away fans were not allowed in other parts of the ground. This was clarified at about exactly the same time as Dicky Wrights dummy spit on a public website. If his legal team are so effective, maybe he should save some of that money and spend it on players? I did notice that when his statement was reported in the press they missed out the 'legality' references.



This is unclear, particularly in relation to what 'monitor this' refers, hence the clarification, no change in the intended meaning. Does it specifically say they will not be allowed in other parts of the ground?

Also are you sure that the tickets were for 'general admission' rather than ground admission, not that it matters as away fans always had access to all areas.

P.S. ooh, I got a bite from the Gronkmeister.

Reading through some of these posts, it looks to me that some Castleford fans still feel aggrieved about being punished by the RFL for their fines regarding homophobic chants and bottles being thrown at an official and see this as an opportunity to try to make Wakefield look bad in the press to deflect from there own problems.

Lets just hope rather than point scoring, we actaully identify these people and ban them from going to Castleford or Wakefield and we learn from what happened so it's never repeated

Indeed, some are. Im having that same discussion on the VT with some of them.

How can tickets be general admission .
If so all and sundry would be able to sit in member seats in the east stand.
If a club were not able to exclude supporters from certain areas chaos would reign.
The club acted with the best of intentions.
What is wrong with advising as to people where the to stand to avoid what actually happened.
The solution is simple and not too expensive.
Erect a fence each side and rear of north stand.
I remember there used to be fences surrounding the old south stand and a transfer fee had to be paid to gain entry.
I do not advocate that but surely home supporters should have the option to pay a reasonable surcharge to gain entry to north stand in advance and members have automatic entry.
.

You'll always a get a few who will go down that route.

Thats the main issue, learn from it and move on.

Drunken idiots were solely to blame for what happened last Friday. Yes things could have been handled differently by various parties but the only ones who were 100% responsible for the trouble are those that chose to get involved. It's not a cas issue it's not a Wakey issue it's an idiots who can't take their beer problem.

Think all clubs have a small minority like this....they plan a "session" around a game, get tanked up hours in advance...can't handle it and unfortunately what they do (and what we see) is similar to what you get in any town or city centre late at night anywhere in the country...except its the clubs that suffers.

Has anyone contacted either the club or particularly the rfl with what they know happened? The usual suspects on the cas forum are falling over themselves to tell tales to the powers that be. Of course they have done nothing again.

Maybe the under-18 year old kids serving beer had something to do with the irresponsible sale of alcohol and the ensuing riot.

Riot? Give up talking wet.

You could, of course, make the astute observation that had we been allowed to proceed with our plans to properly segregate, then the trouble would not have occurred.

Would you not classify a divide down the middle one set of fans on one side, one set of fans on the other with stewards down the middle as segregation? Alternatively, had there been sufficient stewarding and/or policing in the first place with the fans kicking off rightly ejected, then one could argue the situation would have been prevented or minimalised.
