Without evidence there is little the police or RL clubs can do. Public CCTV does not record audio footage so is limited. As already said we don't need hooligans going to rugby matches. People need to record and then report ASAP rather than putting it on a fans forum anonymously which does not address the issue. Most people have a smartphone with an inbuilt camera and mobile data. The personal safety app records the audio visual evidence with exact GPS location which can then possibly be backed up with CCTV in the area. This is stored not on the phone but a server and sent to 5 safety contacts by email. This can then be passed onto the police. 34,000 people have downloaded and use this app and its secure be design accredited and MOST IMPORTANTLY FREE.

Sorry Egg Banjo, but similar scenes after your great victory at the KC earlier in the season, a gang of yobs banging on cars, shouting obscenities, obviously worse for wear in the drink department, threatening behaviour, but too many to say it was an isolated incident, yes all clubs have their idiots, but the scenes I witnessed was alarming.

If this is true then why didn't you say something at the time, why wait until now?

That’s a fair point little Wayne, on that particular game at the KC I did praise Wakey on their performance, big Dave especially, I suppose it would have sounded like sour grapes at the time.

I have no allegiance to any other team than my own, I try to be honest, we all have had our problems with fans in the past and presently, but as a seasoned watcher of the game over a near lifetime, I can honestly say I have never seen this before from Wakey fans.
As a number of your own supporters are identifying the problem, it kind of validates it, not scoring points, or diluting your win last night, it’s crap when a few spoils the experience of others.

Deary me, 5 pages now dedicated to a small group of idiots that nobody would condone. Wasn't there last night but as someone that manages to get to a few away games each season I would say they in no way reflect our brilliant away fans.
Yes as others have commented every team gets the odd idiot or three but when you work out the percentage as to the number in attendance last night it was minuscule.
From what I have seen online hats off to the numbers that made the trip last night and I hope each and every one of you(excluding that small handful of buffoons) had a fantastic night and that you are still smiling about it today.

I wonder if this is the same lads who "wrecked" the stand in London?

Re: fans behaviour : Sat May 04, 2019 12:14 pm  

Alan alan alan it works both ways. What do you think of this one then?

On the way into the stadium I was verbally abused on 3 occasions by some “youths” in Huddersfield attire. Called cue ball, slap head and egg head! All of which I ignored however I found it very difficult with it being my first game back after my time in hospital.

This was reported to the stewards.

Re: fans behaviour : Sat May 04, 2019 12:27 pm  

Any misbehaviour by any fans is not good, sorry to hear of your abuse but i didn't see that incident so cannot comment on it, the group of 30-40 Wakefield fans causing disruption to cars, pedestrians etc i did see and was appalled by it, it seems others did too and seems to be a few Wakey fans suggesting this isn't a one off, hopefully someone did get footage, i chose not to as i didn't feel in the situation and mood of those idiots that taking my phone out to film them would have gone down too well.
I didn't see what happened on the way into or indeed in the town as i returned to my car at the opposite end to where they were going but it appears they carried on their behaviour up into town too.

Re: fans behaviour : Sat May 04, 2019 5:06 pm  

It's a group of 16-18 year old numpties who get boozed up before every game and can't handle their beer. Out comes the macho bravado soonish. The atmopshere they can create when they stick to supporting the team with decent songs is good but add booze into the equation and it seems to blur the lines of what is acceptable behaviour to them. I know the demographic because I recognised one or two from a couple of years ago when I worked at a Wakefield school. I didn't see anything untoward while in the stand (apart from a couple of cringeworthy chants) but I can imagine after the game on the way home that they'd have been a bit dickish.

Re: fans behaviour : Sat May 04, 2019 10:58 pm  

Haven't seen any bad behaviour from Wakey fans for years at Cas games, but then again you haven't beaten us for years Things could change though in the next derby if we don't get some players back and then it could be mayhem
After Saints beat us this year a group of their young fans were behaving terribly in front of young kids and ladies after the game but as they neared their buses a group of older Saints fans actually manhandled them and read them the riot act. Cue very sheepish behaviour and an instant sobering up. Maybe we should all do the same.
