What I don't get is how an amateur club has enough 'fans' to get a match abandoned? Surely they were aware of the possibilities before hand?

Over 1000 at Siddal vs Swinton on Saturday, Mainly Siddal fans as well, If they'd have decided to kick off the dozen or so stewards would have been pretty helpless.

I played against these loons a little over 20 years ago in the yorkshire cup.
I caught the ball at fullback from the first kick of, made it to half way.
I was tackled,punched and dragged to their touch line and promptly beaten to a pulp. Whilst this was happening a " fan " had a snarling rotty at my ear. Game abandoned in less than 5 mins. We had to replay the tie at home 2 weeks later. The club should have been disolved then. They beat us in the replay and were a very good side.

Queens seem to have a "reputation" that precedes them.

This latest scenario seems to "prove" that the reputation is justified.

No doubt the "days" taken to consider the evidence by the RFL will help them come to a conclusion.

What it should be and what it will be is open to debate but I would suggest that the RFL are going to "show their teeth" again.

Are Doncaster fans totally blameless in all this?

Everybody seems to be taking a pop at Queens so I'm guessing a fair few posting on here witnessed what went on.

I "think" you could be right.

I think Link removed. All footage and photos have been sent to the police and the RFL, and we've take a decision in that case not to actually show any images of the events. Mintball is of the events in question.

The poster has put:
the queens rugby league fans versus the racist fans of doncaster.sat 7th march keepmoat stadium.

Hmm. Racist? Some interesting comments from people who claim to have been there, and another poster has said:

It strarted with a load of Queens fans shouting, then abusing a couple of the Dons fans. Then because the Dons fan said something back, Queens stood up (a hell of a lot of them) and the boys from Moorends (a total of about 10 involved) stood there ground.. Queens threw the first punch and we retaliated, I know this because I'm one of the Dons fans involved. These most of these fans don't even go watch Queens (they weren't there when we played Queens last week)...
