If a steward tells you to sit down, you sit down. If they tell you to stop swearing, you stop swearing. If they tell you to keep your shirt on, you keep your shirt on. You don't listen to them - tough.

If you genuinely believe you shouldn't have been kicked out of the stadium - write to the SMC, to both clubs and explain why. Don't try to justify yourselves on here, sort it with those who have 'wronged' you.

Superb post,well put and so very true.

I'll tell you why the 'We all hate XYZ' chants should be left to rest - we, in the last six months, have lost two members of our playing squad, and in the last year had a number of players who are part of the foundations of this club. Let's have a bit of respect for the players who take to the field for all teams and support our own lads rather than denigrate others.

I don't like Bradford, there are other teams I'm not particularly fond of, but I love my club and I support my club. They aren't perfect, they do things which annoy me, but jeez, I am a Wakefield Trinity Wildcats supporter, and rather than use phrases like 'never has beens' like I have in the past, I' going to be as positive as I can be about those men that take to the field with my hopes and dreams on their backs.

You go back and look at the posts on the threads about Walker and Watene and see supporters from all clubs on there offering support and condolence - and then sing 'We all hate XYZ'

Agree entirely!
Also although lots of the chants were started by our bunch at the back some have got caught up in the excitement and took things too far? Chants are chants and make a great atmostphere but trying to antagonise opposition fans is another thing.
Im 17 but have had the odd drink at a match however never being thrown out for it? I would ashamed if i had.
A case of a select few "tarring" the rest's reputation.

Don't try and use other clubs as a side note to your arguement, the point is it is not acceptable or wanted at any level and we as fans do not like to see our own go down this route,it is after all "A family sport"

It doesn't matter what happens at other clubs, we are talking about Wakey and how our fans behave is a reflection on the club, whether you like it or not.

Because you are representing my club and my city when you travel away. Just because it may happen at Cas or anywhere else is irrelevant and doesn't mean it is OK for those 'supporting' Wakefield to do the same!

An excellent post as others have said.

I go to the games to support my team - if I am abusing the other teams fans then that means I am not supporting my team so I won't waste my energy doing that.

The people being abusive are an embarrassment to the club - it may be meant in fun but it is not seen that way. These same people could be an example of what a great club we can be if they channelled their efforts for the good of the club. Only they can choose if they want to be respected or be a stain on the clubs support.

You keep mentioning in the previous page that "rugby is a family sport" for all ages etc if this is so why is it only the younger generation that seem to have all the trouble?
and in an earlier post some1 mentioned some lads giving 2 finger salutes and "come on then" gesters in my response to this i ask if any1 saw the lad from hull make the "ill slit your throat" gesture to me and then point me out to all his friends obviosli trying to start something after the match when people make those sorts of gestures to you how are you ment to react?

well all i can say is,
maybe a bit of banter but some of you don't see it like that.
We will take it all into consideration but it feels because something lik this happens you want us out straight away
