It's sad that a scheme like this has to be launched but it reflects upon a very small minority of people who attend games.

My only problem is that it is virtually impossible to enforce, since you don't have to give your name or any formal identification when entering the stadium there is no real way of policing who is in there.

the annoying thing is the people who fight at games tend to be football fans attending rugby games. Wouldnt mind moving Hull City... to... Leeds? I hear they need a football team.

Think the truth of the matter is that all sports have a minority of idiots especially when beer fuelled. Football seems to get more out of hand but RL isnt blameless.

They tend not to be at all from my experience. There have been a few occasions, such as the Wire away game last year but I don't think it usually is football fans. You can tell when it is when you see the large groups of lads dressed the same (stone island, etc) and the way they act, its the more organised fighting.
The very few occurrances of trouble at rugby games are just people been silly and getting too hot-headed. I don't buy into the drinking thing which people bang on about, never have done. Tons of people drink and get into no trouble, and there are some sober people who start trouble.
The only way to stop it is for stewards and police to do their job properly which I have rarely seen at games at the KC personally

I think its a good idea but I can see a major flaw.

What if I bump into someone on the concourse?

Will they dive on the floor and roll around to try and get me a yellow card?

Unless Mathers gets suspended, there will not be a Wigan fan left in the ground after 15 minutes

Should be fun on Friday, well for you guys.

The latest Noble gameplan is no offloading and a maximum of 1 pass in every set.
