Whatever you may think of the stewards at KR at least they look the part and do their job unlike those at Wakey who seem to turn a blind eye to any potential trouble.

That is true,I went to the Wakey v Wire game their was a guy stood next to me with his sons one about 18, the others must have been 11, these so called wakey fans kept walking by them saying we are going to bang you, the boy turn to his dad and said,I think iam going to get jumped, they came back and jumped him, his dad helped protect him, but when it ended these other guys grown men behind them didnt like the idea of this dad protecting his son, so they said to the dad I will fight you, the man jumped up and down screamed some abuse throwing his beer bottle down to the ground and siad come on you and me, luckly the man with his sons just blanked him.
People like this should get a ban for life.

got to agree the stewards at BV are a waste of time and are fine telling kids to get off the wall (not disagreeing before i get jumped on) but for anything else they are crap .

A question asked by one of us today due to being surrounded by around ten Trinity 'fans' who did nothing but moan and complain about most players especially Scully and Blaymire and about our tactics and just about anything else. Am used to that at home games but thought it was those who actually enjoyed going to the game that went away. Given the injuries we already had and the loss of two more players by the first minute anyone who had anything but admiration for the team yesterday should be refused entry to any game ever again and don't tell me we need every fan we can get cos folk like that are a waste of time.

Well you will get a free lift with Jamie! There'll be more moaning tonight at 6-a-side too!

I have never had a problem with drunk Wakey fans at Wakey. It tends to be that folk make a day of it for match days and therefore it is generally 'away' fans who have a problem - whether Wakey or otherwise.

Just to clarify, its not just specifically our fans, its fans in general when alcohol is available. I think its a shame that people cant go 40 minutes without a drink - can't they just concentrate on the game?!

I agree, but it's the easiest problem in the world to solve, clubs just need to close the bars at K.O and think a bit more about the social problems they cause and less about how much money they can take from selling beer, or just sell soft drinks if people are thirsty.

i enjoy having a drink and watching the game, especially the Friday night games.

Those that cause the trouble tend to be the ones that get tanked up beforehand imo

You could also add to this group those who go intent on argueing with the Stewards..... We know its a shitehole, we know they don't let the players come right to the fans, we know they tell us to sit down its been the same for 3 times now and I dare say it will be the same next year - you dont like it, dont go.
