Hope the chap is ok and they catch the scum who did it.
We don't need this kind of behaviour from any so called 'fans'

Unfortunately this is creeping into society more and more not just into our great game hope the 2 culprits are found and dealt with but i feel if they do get the pair that did it they will just get a caution off the police.

And, hopefully, banned from every ground in the country

I agree this is where the RFL should get tough. I am sure the Saints club would ban them but it needs the RFL and police to get a database on these so called fans and ban them from all grounds for life. And it should also be a shared database for all sporting clubs Rugby League. Union and football ban them from all live sporting events

As one post above states 'knowing where it took place, and ctv all around there, then hopefully the police will be able to identify the attackers, and prosecute them' ....it is no use expecting forum board members to pick them out without a clue as to who they are. The police will surely be the best option and hopefully will be thus apprehended and punished. ......grannyfan Cindy

How on earth is this enforcable though? I hope the lad and his son are ok, and that the police manage to trace these two prats.

This needs to be brushed under the carpet, can you imagine the damage this will do to the good family name of rugby league if this makes it into the WEP,
IMAGINE!

Terrible news. Sadly all clubs have one or two idiots who can't handle their cider.

Hopefully the police will catch those involved and the St Helens club will for once show some morals and do the right thing.

Like it was mentioned earlier, its comments like these that get this type of thread locked.

Sadly I doubt whether it'll be on cctv, not a well built up area there. Hope the bloke is ok
