Quote: tarian crusader " Also looks like your club is going to be in more trouble again because of the morons at the Gnoll today.They were singing anti Thomas chants and being racist to Weller Hauraki and the funniest thing about it is you got 2 dark skinned players in your own team

Frankly if a small section of your 'fans' behave the way they did today, you're lucky that a few 'heavy handed' stewards is all they have to complain about, they were treading a fine line. I enjoyed the banter between the fans myself its a great part of the game but there are limits.The few Cas fans I came across were quite amiable. Im not saying the response by stewards was the best but what do you expect?

The Crusaders have as much right to be in Super League as anyone else.

Just for accuracy, the details of his book

I would like you to expand further on this racist chanting. Because, I know i was right in the middle of where the cas fans were and not once did i hear anything said to Wello Houraki. In fact, I know for a fact, Cas are trying to sign him next year, As he is Rangi Chase's best mate, So why would we abuse him ?

You cannot have a go at Cas fans for the Anti Thomas chants, We now dislike him, As we feel he has played on this saga too much, As much as it may have been out of order, I think he has milked it for all its worth

I did hear the odd song about him, But none were as bad as what was sung at Cas, And the stewards were on hand, And were been quite strict to police it, I know this from when my mate walked by one going into the ground, He made a small remark and the steward quickly told him no more, So how come the stewards, Stood in the middle of the fans didnt start ejecting Cas fans willy Nilly for the chanting you say, As they were there.

In fact, Someone i know was almost in bother early doors for having a go at Ganson over the Liam Watts try given at Cas, And he lied to the steward saying he was threatening him, When he didnt, BUt he was out of order, So after this i had quite long talks with a few of your stewards and in the end had a bit of a laugh and a joke with them, And they seemed quite happy with us, And we seemed quite happy with them tbh

There was an incident where a beer was thrown either way in the crowd, But that was quickly stomped out also.

As for the lad in the police van, I seem to think it was the lad who had a go at Ganson, But he was only given a telling off by the police and that was all. Nothing serious, But then again, The stewards knew he was in the ground, Knew where he was, And didnt decide to eject him, As they personally felt he didnt do that much wrong. So a warning was sufficient.

All in all, It could have been much much worse IMO, Moving the game that far away encouraged those going, To drink more, As its a longer journey, And it could have ended in really vile chanting etc. And i dont think it was so bad

In fact the worst of it was aimed towards a Cas fan on the pitch at HT, Who got the James Graham treatment from his own mates, But that was taken in good humour

God, there are a fair few keyboard warriors on here aren't there.

Your chants at gareth thomas stopped immediatly as soon as we sang where if your 40 grand. I thought that was hillarious.

As for the racist chants, i heard none of them, not really sure where that come from. But allot of your singing was mumbled late in the game. The heavy handed steward as you say did a damn fine job. You complain they were heavy handed, as one of your friends made a "small remark". Just doing their job by the sounds of it.

Quote: Gaslight "No, it did happen, the proof has been sent to the RFL and the league express, if it gets printed you will see.

I agree, there's no place for it, but the fact he's made such a big deal out of it is nothing short of a disgrace, especially seems he can't keep his story straight, it went from "I didn't hear anything" to "I heard it and had a laugh & joke with them" to "it made me frightened" - pathetic.

I did see that you say the minority, and I agree, in fact it's probably the idiots who got banned from the Jungle who are still getting to away games.

Good, that's what we like about this game, long may it continue, but that's where the stewards kicked off, a bunch of Cas & Cru fans were talking and they went diving in like morons.'"


I trust that given the account of Can fans there who have commented that the actions of a few idiotic fans (who you claim to know)led to the stewards taking action you'll add that to your report to the RFL and League Express.
