The club will be banned from competing if the stories I've heard tonight are true.

What I don't get is how an amateur club has enough 'fans' to get a match abandoned? Surely they were aware of the possibilities before hand?

The strange thing is to video it and put it on show , unless of course you are trying to intimidate future opponents

That's not boxing training which would be more to do with stance, defensive position, parrying and punching technique not wildly clubbing each other in a changing room.

If that was a structured coaching session then the coach should be banned!

Just what I was going to say. That was more like 10 pints of lager and drunken brawl fighting not at all like boxing. Just out and out thuggery.

Widnes v Normanton a couple of years ago, about a dozen drunks started causing trouble at the front of the North stand. To be fair to the Normanton players they came over and tried to calm the fans down. It would have only taken one Widnes fan to have a go back and it would have kicked off.

Yeah win it every year since Sharlston and Drighlington defected to the Pennine League (and Queens weren't allowed to follow), but don't meet NCL criteria so won't get in (understandably after this), even though they could easily beat the vast majority of sides there on the pitch
