Similar stuff with stewards and cops in the same area at the same time yesterday too, Cas fans. Not sure what happened but it was calmed down pretty quickly

Quote ="leeds owl"Not too sure about that. The footage I've seen is some fans in Leeds shirts in an altercation with some fans wearing no colours. Unless someone knows the individuals involved It's just ">speculation.'" Being sat 7 or 8 rows in front of the incident I can assure you they were Leeds fans. I asked someone who obviously recognised the idiots and they confirmed it. A few people in the Car section were ejected on Sunday as well for some sort of disturbance. I'm sure someone else can provide better details as I was a good 50 yards away from the incident. TBH, didn't appear half as bad as the Leeds one where numerous punches were thrown and I believe a woman was hit.

Quote ="Him"I see it a bit like smoking, I don't see why I and my family should have to breathe in somebody else's smoke all game. Fortunately it's banned at stadiums now. I don't want to ban alcohol at grounds as many people can manage to have a drink without being an idiot, but I just wish the stewards were more pro-active at challenging people who are drunk. From what I've heard I think incidents were few and far between at Newcastle and this is more a rant directed at Grand Finals and the Cup ">Final.'" I don't think it helps that many of these events are indirectly 'sold' as a day / week on the pop. Magic Weekend has a 'weekend with the lads' feel about it, to the point where it's actually becoming a bit of a stag do thing. I've certainly seen more of those over the years. It's probably the reason why we have football clubs being very keen to host it. MCFC coming out and saying publicly that they had never sold so much ale before at an event isn't particularly helpful from a 'discouraging p***heads' perspective. Of course, the RFL doesn't overtly play on the alcohol aspect, but it's arguably a byproduct of the type of event that it is.

It is an offence to either enter a designated sports ground whilst drunk or to be drunk in a designated sports ground.



SJP tend to manage that very well on football match days. That said, they also have a police presence to support the stewards.
