Funny that the first group complaining never mentioned Bradford Fire songs.
If true that is awful but I imagine it's exaggerated for effect.

I was stood in the north stand on Saturday with the bulls fans and have never heard chanting like it, bringing race into a rugby match is appalling and I was one of the bulls fans 'getting in the ear' of your much esteemed stewards who did nothing. I am very pleased to see the rfl and Wakefield are taking this seriously as I for one will not be returning to your stadium unless those responsible are dealt with.

Yes there was 'banter' flying back and forth and some bad language used, which does happen at all grounds and was equally evident from Bradford fans as it was Wakefield. However there is no excuse for racism, and that is what was heard by a small number of your fans, luckily we managed to catch this on film which has been sent to your club to assist in their investigation.

Hopefully this will be sorted quickly by your club meaning this won't be repeated as there really is no place for this in society, let alone at a rugby match.

This was a group of no more than 5 fans - the other Wakefield fans around us vocally distanced themselves from this and agreed that they should be ejected.

Don't think anyone is suggesting this is a problem with wakey fans, more that a few individuals have attempted to ruin the match for others and need to be banned before giving a poor impression of the club and RL as a sport.

You will have also filmed the Bradford fans abusing Wakefield fans then won't you. If Bradford had have been directed to the western terrace like most away fans this season this wouldn't have happened. Think this will see the end of away fans in The north stand to prevent this kind of thing happening.

As I've made clear it's the racism that is the problem, if any Bradford fans did make any comments of that nature I sincerely hope they are caught and banned for life and if I'd heard that I would have got them on camera And reported it to both clubs. It is simply unacceptable for anyone in any context to use such language.

So all abuse towards Wakefield and about Wakefield is allowed then.

And now we start to get to the truth - 4 or 5 people overstepped the mark; very easy to deal with and absolutely no need for a self-flagellating pubic apology, a flurry of faux internet outrage, or a wide-ranging RFL investigation.

The covered area in the north stand needs to be segregated. nearly every game now we get supporters of the away team trying to "take it over", and these are usually not the family supporters but the idiot brigade.

the entire rest of the stadium could still be accessible to all, then anyone who particularly wanted to stand behind the posts could do so on the bottom tier, and any home supporters wishing to use the western terrace could as well.

This is just the latest incident and its only a matter of time before something kicks off in there unless the club actually comes up with a policy and implements it properly.

If I went to an away match into a clubs main end where their more boisterous fans stand and start abusing their club and city I would expect abuse back, that how it is and as always been and people must live very sheltered lives if they think any different.

chef.gif nWe have never had segregation before prior to this season and I don't remember us being involved in so many RFL investigations as this season. I do not see the correlation between no segregation and the increase in crowd trouble.
I would think by sticking them all together will just increase the problems because it is not the proximity of the away supporters but the fact that there are away supporters. I suppose to ensure no further problems ban away supporters and you will find the trouble will go away. I would remind people that this is all hyperthefticall because we don't know the structure of the ground for next season.

There has been no problems at Belle Vue this season and if Bradford fans hadn't been in the north stand abusing Wakefield fans nothing would have allegedly occurred on Saturday.

Quote: Bully_Boxer "Well if I was a Wakey fan I'd be pleased to see my club taking the complaints seriously and I genuinely hope they can find a solution. Posters using the excuse that it's just sour grapes because of the result are I'm afraid talking nonsense. We're meant to be a family sport and we should fight hard to make sure it stays that way. Good luck for the rest of the season.'"

The club should take the allegation seriously and fully investigate the matter and then take appropriate action against individuals subject to the findings of the investigation.

I bet these are the same Bradford fans that peed themselves laughing when they first watched East is East when they used the same words.
People only use the racist card when it suits.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Wonder what the reaction of the Bradford fans would have been had the chant been "Your just a town full of Asians"? Is that racist or factual? Will "Asian" be the next word to need asterixing out. Was it the word used or the facts hitting a sore point?
No doubt in a few years time the word Migrant will be the great forbidden word. Lets check the Tom and Jerry cartoons and Noddy books quickly!
