Just as a matter of interest are you saying the line of stewards were there before any trouble started? When we arrived at about 7.25 we walked straight up the middle of the North Stand, exactly where all the trouble was to happen a little while later, and there were a couple of stewards at the bottom but there was no line of stewards and no segregation that I could see. We wouldn't have intentionally stood there had there been any signs off what was to come and I reckon a line of stewards might just have given that impression. For what it's worth the line of stewards appeared around and just after the first try was scored. If you saw any different I'd be interested to hear it as we were stood about 20 yards from where the majority of the trouble started.

I don't know how many times it has to be said while mistakes were made by certain people the only people to blame are those who took part and chose to bring shame on our sport and our respective clubs. To blame Glover, Elston, Wright or the guy selling beer is to deflect attention from the real problem which is mindless idiots who can't handle their beer. The continued sniping does not reflect well on either club or their supporters.

JT: I arrived at 6:45pm. When I went in I walked as far as I could towards the posts. I half-expected to be stopped and be told you can go no further. Where we stopped was about 10m from the divide, the steps being the place where stewards were stood. I believe the Head Steward was there issuing instructions. There were certainly at least 5/6 stewards there at that stage. Certainly not enough for the volume of people. This increased as it drew nearer to kick off. When the problems started more stewards arrived and created the line that we had to stymie the trouble.

Ps: by line I meant where the stewards were clearly going to separate fans rather than just dotted around a stand.

I arrived early with my 14 yr old grandson and stood behined the sticks two rows up at the north end.
To start with there were two stewards patroling the railings but they disappeared early and we did not see them again. There were two middle aged cas fans stood behined us shouting bad language throughout the match, all drinking pints and at the front on the railings were a gang of young cas lads about 14 year olds each with a bottle of WKD in each hand.
I have been watching wakefield on and off since the sixties and its the first time i have walked out of the gate to be met with a line of police and police vans and having to explain and dampen down the situation to my grandson.

I was on holiday last Friday so saw nothing of what transpired but from previous experience I think I can pretty much say with certainty that it was not down to just one set of fans. If you don't allow yourself to get goaded into it then these things just simmer down and die away.
Doesn't really matter to me who started it, if the other club's fans wanted to be regarded as blameless then they should have ignored any attempts to drag them into it.
In reality both Wakey and Cas have some fans who drink much more than they are able to handle and as such lose their sense of perspective.


Will be interesting to see how the game at Post Office Road goes and if that passes off with no incident, bearing in mind the protested innocence of some of the Cas fans.

See Fully has just changes his statement and words dependant on what forum he is on....again.

Cant take more of his crap.

Not changed anything.

Maintained same story, same comments all along. But keep talking rubbish.....again.

Classic
Finally a confession from Fully. Official: Fully keeps talking rubbish.

Quote from the casforum-
Quote:I hope my email is seriously taken note of.

This wasn't the Cas fans. This was the Wakefield fans. I happened to see a few of the singers in the Barmy Army filming on their phones. Does anybody know anyone that has that?

Quote from the VT-
I'm not saying both supporters weren't involved. But it's a futile argument - Cas fans believe Wakey fans threw the first bottle, Wakey other way. I didn't see. But the one I did see came from the Wakey end and the Cas fans retaliated. Both as bad each other.

I'd say that was a change of tact wouldn't you?

As I posted a page back if you read, I was referring to the initial trouble and completely missed the bottle throwing.

...and beer/cig throwing?

Is beer not the same as bottles?

As for cigs, didn't see any of that.

Beer as in sprayed. I'm not sure which is technically more accurate. I guess all you saw was 27 Fax fans and 1 confused Hull fan.
