Whoever is responsible for causing any level of violence at tonights game should be banned from RL grounds forever regardless of whether they are Fax or Fev. Tonight we saw a superb game of Rugby League and neither team deserved to lose. Every player gave their all and then it gets spoilt by a handful of idiots.
Here, here. There's no place for violence of any sort in RL (the ref is there to sort out the hot-heads on the pitch). Any miscreants, wherever they are from, should be banned for life. Provocation, intimidation and retalitation are potential valid defences... maybe...
Tonight was a chance to put the Grand Final animosity to bed... it's failed.
Sadly(?), I chickened out of going to the match tonight, and watched it on Sky (still got injured (seriously!), when I hit the ceiling with my left hand leaping from my chair after Danny's DG!). Fact is, I'll have no qualms about going to Blackpool with my family to watch the game against Leigh/Dewsbury.
Fev, yes we've got idiots just like most clubs, but you are really scraping the bottom of the barrel... and I do accept that 90%+ of your fans will be decent law-abiding citizens who are passionate about their club.
