Quote: ComeOnYouUll "It's not just the violence it's the increasing propensity of people chucking beer in the air in celebration.

The BBC were pretty much encouraging this during the FIFA World Cup last year by showing it happening at fans parks around England and even saying which was the 'best' celebration.

I know most people behave and that stopping everyone enjoying a couple of pints whilst watching the game is punishing innocent people but it's worth it to stop trouble and maybe stop families drifting away from the sport.'"


I agree. The reality is that most clubs have sections of supporters who cross a behavioural line. Clubs have no interest in dealing with them - attendances are compromised as it is and they want the bar turnover, and the RFL don't want a light shining our hooliganism issue. I suspect what we will get is a couple of Wire fans being "banned for life" (not enforceable), a comment from both clubs trying to deflect from the issue by talking about the majority of well behaved fans, and a £20k fine for Warrington's owner who is worth £157m.

The unintended consequence of this continuing as you say is that families are put off. We have a real opportunity here as a sport to take a moment of self reflection and launch a positive, take a stand initiative, being transparent about the issue and encouraging fans to call out what's unacceptable and galvanise around a family theme. With the ladies game taking off and reserves back next year this could be a good time to reinvigorate the "club" mentality and differentiate ourselves positively from other sports. It won't happen, but something needs to change or Wembley could get messy.

This is very poor from the club.
It seems that at least one individual, who could be used to set an example to others, is being allowed to get away with it, and that certainly doesn't send out the right message to these idiots.'"


Without being funny but if you know who one of the individuals is then why not just either ring the club or email the club? Why do you need the club to tell you how to report it?
Simply calling the club or emailing them is already something that you can do so there is a way/method.

I get the feeling the RL clubs don't want to tackle the issue, I know for a fact that a lad who threw a bottle on the pitch towards Tommy Makinson at our home game against saints, he was pointed out and ejected. He got a ban, which amounted to a warning and banned for 2 weeks when we didn't have a game and told if he does it again he'll be banned. You do wonder what the point is.

Saying that the wire fans are doing what a lot of every teams fans are do, blaming everyone but themselves for the scenes on Saturday, football fans, the Ref, the oppo fans, Kenny Edwards!!!

I'm not sure what the answer is but I pick and choose away games nowadays purely because I got sick of idiots so drunk they wont remember the game just being annoying and making it an uncomfortable experience.
