NickWeaver Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 27500 for Catalans and 15000 for Warrington with Catalans paying two thirds of the investigation costs and Warrington paying the remainder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Badrinath Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 But to clarify, at the time, a lot of posters were complaining about warrington players discipline because of what happened on the pitch and also the Warrington fans behavior in the stand. But Catalans had more players suspended after that match and Catalans have got a bigger fine and previous had to be taken into account.

Eddie Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Why should a club be fined for its fans misbehaviour? It’s not their fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redjonn Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Is their a separate RFL focus/investigation on the players behaviour on the pitch and any part it may of had in the crowd behaviour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Browny Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Was expecting a few hangings at the very least. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Oliver Clothesoff Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Fines aren’t comparable and shouldn’t be. A salary cap and fans fighting are two very different offences and the amount of the fines given to each club whose been punished shouldn’t be compared. Good time to announce it and put an end to it, once the seasons done and dusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming he paid it all that's 2k more than Warrington are paying for brawling on and off the field. Fev have been fined 20k this year for inappropriate chanting. Deserved the fine imo but wasn't as serious as this. There were a couple more that I'd need to go back and check which they were. The gravity of this incident I would have thought would have warranted a pretty hefty fine. Both clubs have got off lightly in my opinion.

Disagree, clubs ultimately have a responsibility, I know idiots will behave badly from any club but I have noticed a change in a small minority of fans who follow Warrington, usually alcohol is involved but flashes of trouble and smoke bombs are getting too regular especially at away games. I think both clubs could havr been fined heavier but the RFL are weak on any fines too clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris22 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Be fair, Warrington also had to play their play off game against Cas behind closed doors too. (Wait...oh they just didn't turn up?!) Ignore the above! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs can ban troublemakers after an event but I don’t see what they can do to stop people taking flares to away games or kicking off at away games. Fining them seems harsh and where does the fine money go anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money probably goes to the RFL, Warrington have banned trouble makers and it is quite easy to find half of them before the games as they brag on social media with pictures of flares leading upto games. Maybe videoing your own fans at away game's will help spot problem fans(it has been done before).What you can't do is ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes they may need to think or be forced to think about having more stewarding (or pay for police)... to be able to deal with incidents quickly and professionally.

Who would want to go to a game if there are going to be people constantly videoing you, and why would a club go through people’s Facebook pages looking for incriminating photos? Fining a club just punishes the vast majority of fans who don’t misbehave imho, and clubs can only act by banning people after a serious event.

ELBOWSEYE Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Well ive been to plenty of wire games at widnes were the police video the fan's. You forget they are there. At home games with my grandchildren you see no prpblems as the stands have hpme fans separated in stands usually younger adults stand up were families sit so no trouble, but at away games you are all together and if you are sober and with kids it sometimes is not ideal magic is the worst.

That seems pretty serious, I wouldn't be so quick to play those incidents down. Hull KR had incidents happen on the pitch (not for the first time), and breached 3 operational rules. Their fine was lower than Catalans. These fines are hefty in RL contexts. Widnes only got £20k for their fans at that semi versus Cas 5 years ago. The fine seems exactly in line based on context.
