I still think the Dons will receive a fine that may be suspended for 1or2 yrs

The Stadium security isn't the responsibility of the Dons is it? The Stadium is a separate company? Surely it would be very unfair to fine the Dons?

Not sure we're exonerated (yet) as there is still to be a full enquiry. We are however at home to Gateshead a week on Sunday.

I don't think the game is for another 3 weeks..April 5th I think.

The RFL set a precedant (sp) in 2007 when they fined Hull KR for failing to provide adequote security after we played there and both fans ended up on the pitch with very minor scuffles. This was despite our fans running on first (although not to cause trouble, but to celebrate with the players. Still stupid though and I didnt take part but anyway). The only problem is, who runs the security at your ground? Does your club have any part in it, such as providing information to the company that implements the security?

I say well done to the RFL for standing strong against these sort of incidents. It sends a message that it wont be accepted in our great sport.

Was discussing this with Scott last night. I had actually read on one report weekend of 21 & 22 March but it appears that is incorrect.
