Dum Dum i think you will find hardly none of us were at wigan or salford and only a few of us went to cas! So i do not know what you have apparently witnessed. Most of us go the majority of away games but not once have we caused trouble at any of these games that you have mentioned.

A group of Hull FC "supporters" had decided that this game would be an ideal prelude to a stag weekend in Blackpool, many of thos attending were also in fancy dress. They were tanked up and at one point managed to get onto the pitch and verbally abuse Hull & Wigan players.

A few of us managed to photograph these idiots and the pics were forwarded to the Hull club. The Humberside Sports Policing unit also got involved and the result was a number of "supporters" were banned from the KC. One even had his season pass taken from him while drinking in a KC bar.

Banning the culprits was one thing, enforcing it was an entirely different other. It also never prevented these idiots from travelling to away games and continuing their "fun". It is the home club's duty to police their ground and ensure the safety and comfort of all spectators and unless and until a system of sharing details of such idiot "fans" is introduced, there's little to prevent recurrances. Eight years ago we didn't have ASBOs, possibly these incidents could now be covered, preventing the subjects of an ASBO from attending RL games in the future?

At the moment there is only one individual with a RL banning order.

Its only going to work if the culprit is put off by any legal sanctions if he/she is found inside a ground, if they are not recognised and don't really care anyway then they can freely attend anywhere.
