Quote wildshot="wildshot"Meast and fartownfan you are correct. We need to show zero tolerance to this bad element (whether it be Wakefield or elsewhere). RL is prided on being a family game and all people should feel welcome.
If the situation is not dealt with quickly and with a firm hand then things can spiral. Glover has invested so much in turning the club around, if a holigan element develops then it will knock back all the hard work so far. I love my club and have for decades, however I will not put myself in a situation where I feel unsafe.
Lots of clubs have bad elements, I agree, Wakefield is just one of them. My pride and respect for fellow fans means that I despise the thought of trouble with my club. If David Longo, Martin Hopkins et al are not reading this and there are more instances then I will voice my concerns directly to Elston and Glover. Maybe the fans groups should raise this as a matter of priority.
It's a little ironic that there was an announcement on Sunday that people were found bringing their own drink into the ground then it would be confiscated and people could be ejected. Shame there was no mention of abusive or threatening behaviour not being tolerated.
Stewards are there to look after the safety of the fans at the match. If they stand idly by whilst people feel threatened then they are not doing their job.
Sort it out please.'"
I agree, this was threatening behaviour and we all need to come out full square in our condemnation of it.
