Cas Vs Fev great game well done SKY : Wed Apr 11, 2012 6:08 pm  

With news that the RFL are investigating trouble at the wakey vs Cas game last week http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/17681109 What are the chances of this weekends Cas vs Fev game likely to embarass the game further. Some Cas fans have already said they will not attend because of the risk of trouble. With it being on TV are the risks worth it. Will the ground have more police than an old firm derby I hope thye RFL tell both clubs about their responsibilities and both sets of fans remember that they are the public face of RL this weekend.

Fev are that worried about a repeat of the last 2 times they've played Halifax they've given Cas fans a stand to themselves which has a separate car park.

Although if there's going to be problems, it will be outside the stadium where the locals can just wait.

The problems will not be in the ground, And it wont be Cas fans starting them. We want to get in there, Get the win. And get out. Never to return.

The scenes at Wakefield were shocking, That was a massive balls up from the chiefs there, With the Segregation, This city is ours stuff.

I refuse to accept Cas were to blame friday, We had a middle aged man, Who was sober. Cracked with a Glass bottle, And thats what started the trouble. How were glass bottles brought into the ground ?

After the initial trouble, Cas fans backed 10 yards off the Stewards divide. And the Wakefield side were still raging like hooligans. Fwiw. These werent fans of the club, They were there for trouble, They went looking for it. And put shame on both clubs.

Think it will be a cracking game

Nah. Trouble has ever before occurred in RL and has only ever happened in other sports? So everyone will pick up on this story and see it as evidence that every RL is a thug.

No. It's not good. But it's nothing to get hysterical about either. It does not suggest a pattern.

Fev are a club with lots of these disgusting problems, they shouldn't be allowed near SL. If anything happens at the game like this they should be punished heavily as a club.

So, we're all happy and jolly and looking forward to a feast of rugby league between two local rivals then. No? Thought not.

Doomy doomy gloomy.

I'm really looking forward to it....a classic local derby, 2 fierce rivals, chance of a cup upset - these are the sort of games we WANT the country to see surely ?

i'm sure it was a wire player, it being indicative of a tony smith coached side.
