:) Good call why should the Dons be punnished for the actions of Foul mouthed and abusive Queens fans, The Keepmoat Stadium security isn't the Dons responsibility as they don't own the Stadium any fine against the Dons would be very unjust, Queens should be banned from the CC for 5 years and the RFL should look at taking action against the firm that owns the Keepmoat/provides the security.

I'm guessing the RFL have a ruling that clubs are responsible for controlling their fans. The RFL will punish Doncaster if they see fit not the Keepmoat owners/security firm and if the Dons want to try to recoup any fine that may arise from them it would make an interesting test case.

I think that the bottom line is, it's Doncaster's responsibility to make sure that the policing of the game is adequate. I imagine someone will be asking for their risk assessment.

On previous, similar occasions, the host club has been punished, because policing of the game is their responsibility, and individual fans involved, if they can be identified. The away club has no responsibility, I think.

..which would explain them kicking off to get the game abandoned when behind.
