This COULD have happened last week too as, as yesterday KR fans we're celebrating prematurely and i'm sure some of them would have goaded some Salford fans when it appeared their team would win,obviously the Salford fans gave it back and the KR fans didn't like it.



Last week was similar, KR thought they'd won the game late on, some went on the pitch and celebrated, some decided to run over to the Giants fans and goad them, how silly they looked when the try was turned down. Luckily the Giants fans celebrations we're all kept in the stand, and no one deiced to 'give it back' to the KR idiots.

I can understand why some fans would want to go on the pitch after winning in that fashion but get off and enjoy the celebrations. Clearly some Salford fans saw their victory as a chance to go and goad the KR fans rather than celebrate their victory, KR fans took the goad and after seeing their team blow SL survival 2 weeks running are obviously a bit emotional and angry.



I wasn't there, i only know what i've seen on TV and on videos but seeing how the KR fans acted last week i doubt they were all the innocent victims and in an environment like yesterday between these 2 sets of fans it was never going to pass by trouble free !.

Agree with other posters that this wasn't as bad at the Widnes/Cas game a couple of seasons ago but, the stewarding was useless and a proper line of stewards across the Salford end would probably have prevented the sort of scenes that happened after the game.



The point remains though, that this fixture, with everything on line, will always have the potential to cause this kind of reaction and there will be a repeat in years to come.

Football fans surely? Rugby fans don't fight, it's always football fans isn't it?

Someone was wearing a man united or a Hull City top, so they obviously can't follow a rugby team either?

Spot on! i thought this at the time, he should have just left the area and/or tried to extinguish the brewing trouble, instead, his presence and his antics led the Salford fans to believe it was fine to run around acting like braindead tosspots!, however i dare say he will reprimanded by the RFL again and hold another sweary, lairy, press conference to label them as the devil (pardon the pun) and insist there's a vendetta, did he say he might walk away?



As for the pitch invasions, well yes i understand the high emotion, tension and the relief of that tension, as we had more or less the same thing last week, albeit we would have had another chance to redeem ourselves, but yet almost, 1000 fans of Huddersfield managed to be respectful enough to stay behind the ( very small) barriers and not run on to the field, but then again, our owner wasn't running around shouting an bawling like an 18 year old stone island wearing chav!

I would just like to say that this is a minority of hull kr fans and not reflective of their support base, most of whom would run away from a fight

As fans we all know not to invade the pitch REGARDLESS if high emotions. If you do you should be punished. About 30-40 if our fans and about 1000+ Salford fans then....

Some of that is disgusting and both clubs should have the book thrown at them, apalling behaviour, Won't make much of a difference to Salford but they should be made to play games behind closed doors!



But to be fair most of the people were just celebrating or consoling, but that is not good, not good at all!

I would hazard a guess at a certain Doctor!

Please, Salford barely have a 1000 home fans.

A few years ago, on the final whistle of the Wakey v Cas relegation decider (arguably the original MPG that fuelled SKY's interest in creating a MPG every year), a large number of Wakey fans invaded the pitch and started taunting the losing Cas fans who were gathered at one end of the ground. To their credit, the Cas fans largely did not react (I don't like giving credit to Cas fans because my wife and kids were once subject of violence at a Cas away game; on another occasion I was spat on by them when raising money for a charitable cause; but on this occasion they acted with class and dignity which cannot be ignored!).



However, some 10 mins or so before the end of the game, the stewards gathered at the Cas end of the stadium; within a few minutes of the pitch invasion, the stewards had been joined by a large number of police officers and had formed a line across the width of the pitch in front of the Cas end. They then walked forward in a line and 'pushed' (largely not physically) the Wakey fans back beyond the half-way line. Situation defused.



I suppose the point I am making is that, in such a highly charged game with so much at stake, it had been foreseen that there may be problems and a contingency plan had been drawn up to deal with them. The stewards/police at HKR did not seem to have a co-ordinated plan and approach; hence the problems.

Do rovers have a suspended fine from the last time it happened?

Cas fans also showed great restraint after the 2014 cup semi final when goaded by widnes "supporters" and were roundly applauded by all involved.
