Crusaders fans : Tue Apr 14, 2009 11:16 am  

I appreciate that for the most part Quins fans were well received yesterday, unfortunately the welcome was not all hearts and flowers.....I was stood in the main group of Quins fans on the terrace and ended up having to mop SPIT off me......as the Crusaders `fans` on the gantry above were SPITTING on the Quins fans below. I made an official complaint to a nearby steward who got security involved......absolutely F`in disgusting and the Crusaders supporters involved should be ashamed of themselves, it totally ruined my day.

I have been a long term Quins/sports fan and have never ever experienced that at any other sport or stadium.......and I used to be a Millwall supporter!!!

It`s not the first time I have visited their ground, never had a problem before, but needless to say I will not be going back. Absolutely F`in disgraceful.

I was trying to work out during the game who was actually allowed on the gantry bit above where we were standing. It seems it is where the hospitality boxes are and those watching from the gantry were mainly Crusaders sponsors and guests and crusaders reserves etc.
I think I was standing slightly forward of where under the sticks was standing and after this happened changed my position to get out of the firing line so to speak.

Well done yesterday on a superb performance and an even better crowd performance.

Like I said in my original post `for the most part Quins fans were well received" but clearly you have some problem fans and they need to be sorted............I do not know of any other SL RL club where an element of the home fans GOB on the opposition. But hey let`s just ignore it, brush it under the carpet etc.......perhaps next time it will be a bottle/glass that falls on the opposition instead of just SPIT.

Whilst I can understand your anger UTS, (I have already said I wouldn't have been as calm as you were), it only takes a couple of idiots to ruin a good day out. I have said on the welsh boards that I was concerned that the 4 old bill did nothing about it and they were 15 yards away from us. It is a criminal offence to spit at someone and the entire contents of the corporate box should probably have been asked to leave.
Let's just hope it was a one off thing, but it wouldn't do any harm if you were to email BOTH clubs and let them know how strongly you feel about this.

Done......I have spoken with Paul Blanchard at Quins and have lodged an official letter of complaint with the General Manager of both clubs.

Please keep us posted on responses. You are right. This sort of behaviour has no place in our (or any other) game and needs to be stamped on straight away.
As away fans, we spent a minimum of £6,000 yesterday, so let's see what response you get. Maybe next year, you'll get a box
