Can't see Cas fans throwing Red and Blue smoke bombs.

Ban em for life and involve the police; it's hugely irresponsible to throw smoke bombs in a crowd like that.



The cheering that went up from some in the Wakey end was inexplicable...

There were plenty of irritated fans too.

Very poor. Whatever they were thinking, it wasn't about the best interests of the club.

It would be the right thing to ban those who threw the flares as if the flares had hit someone they would have caused injuries. Just a shame there seemed to be trouble as well with some people being first class tools. Hopefully those too will be dealt with properly by whoever that may be and banned as neither club needs tools following who are like that.

Glad that you thought the colours of the flares thrown were colourful....but have you thought about what can happen when you get hit by a flare or is that of secondary importance as to the pretty colours

?

You can't defend any idiot for throwing flares. Potentially very dangerous and could cost the club money we can ill afford to pay. It also takes the gloss off a very very good win.



Not good at all.

Not defending it but they were not flares, some kind of limp smoke bomb. No way were they especially dangerous - however rules is rules and it's a 5 year ban for me for said throwers.



However considering how volatile this fixture has become is it not about time Cas moved into the modern world and segregated this game as we have. It's sad I know but we have bitten the bullet and I feel you should to. You have a group of idiots who place themselves at the Railway end purely to cause bother and our fools and those of other clubs are happy to oblige.

We don't have segregation any more though do we? I think we should but we don't.

Smoke bomb or flare doesn't really matter both are dangerous and not allowed in any RL stadia.

Before a fine can be imposed the idiot has to be identified and concrete evidence provided to prove the case regardless of which team they support, the coments indicating a wakefield supporter is pure conjecture at this stage.

Thought we did last year in this match?



Actually it does because one is an explosive device and one isn't and as such isn't as dangerous.



However I did make clear or I thought I did that it's no excuse and a ban for the offenders is in order

Smoke bombs aren't as explosive but they are still dangerous. They burn at high temperatures which can causes burns if you are hit by one, can cause panic when thrown leading to injury and are dangerous to people with asthma and breathing difficulties. Not as destructive as a flare initially maybe but still nasty enough that, as you say, the perpetrators shouldn't be seen in a rugby ground again for an awful long time.

The colour of the smoke and the timing of it gives it away. A Cas fan wouldn't take in smoke bombs in the colours of the rival team in the pure hope that they are able to celebrate a last gasp win and then taint that rival club by association, and ensure that there are no criticisms of Cas's stewarding and gate security. If we hadn't nicked it at the end, what would a Cas fan do with them? Play at being the Red Arrows by running up and down the Poundland car park with the streaming smoke?



As for the fighting, I wasn't there so I'm not commenting on it directly, but this fixture has become increasingly toxic over the years, and certainly during the franchising years, when the relationship between the clubs became like that. With Glover's 'recapture the North Stand" approach and the Cas man's, "oh no, you won't" response, and the constant race to get a stadium to stay in the league. We should be natural allies off the field, because we occupy a similar place in the eyes of the league, financially struggling and in old stadia.
