How was the back of the stand at Batley match : Fri Apr 10, 2009 8:40 pm  

As there has been no mention of any disruptions I hope the united effort of all involved at stamping it out before it starts has succeeded .I would like to thank all concerned for this even though I sit in the Skircoat I think it would not be a fair example of our fans.I took my grandchildren to the game and they really enjoyed it I am proud of our supporters at matches and how they behave unlike from what I can gather of our ground sharing counterparts who today have brought themselves into disrepute big style.
Keep up the good work lets hope we keep on top of it.

More objects thrown think it was only paper this time but still thrown... I really really can't understand why a steward can't be put back there but until someone gets proper wacked with something hey ho...

What happened with the football???

Saw something thrown but not sure what, Dont think it was a bottle though

As for the Football, 4 Red Cards in their game, 2 to each side, plus a load of bookings. Sounds like a Sunday League Pub Match

And that was just on the pitch from what I can gather they had to have the dogs and helicopters out to them and also I believe the ref got attacked.

Didnt make the game but sounds an absolute disgrace what happened. OK ref had a shocker by all accounts, but that does not excuse the actions of certain 'supporters'.

Apparently a bottle was thrown at the ref, a Town 'fan' knocked out the linesman, all hell kicked off outside by a local pub which I assume is when the copper chopper was launched.

Another depressing day in the history of Halifax Town.

I'm waiting to see how it works out to be Halifax RLFC's fault

Until I opened this thread up, I didn't know of any trouble, I presume Town had a game somewhere......

i went to watch the shaymen yesterday. a fine or points deduction is unavoidable
the ref and beer were to blame though, them two together at a footy game was asking for trouble

You have to have a ref, it's part of the deal. Maybe stop the pi$$heads from entering a sporting stadium might be a better option, it is after-all the law nowadays.

Blame culture rears it's snotty face again. Name & shame that'd be better fun.
