Fighting...amongst themselves?

Yep

If true, it's a shame because queens obviously had a good chance of turning over a pro side here,i've seen them a few times this season and they are a cracking side, especially away from home



If the queens fans were fighting in the crowd, were there any fatalities?

The Dons challenge cup game against Queens ARLFC was called off this afternoon due to crowd trouble. Dons CEO Dave Marshall said, "Today was a sad day for the club and the sport. The whole club is disgusted about the behaviour of a certain section of the crowd. Rugby League and the Dons prides itself on being a family sport and we will not stand for this."

Match and incident reports and videos will now be sent to the RFL and the Police. The Dons will comment no further on today's incident until we have received feedback from all parties on this.

There's a right rough mining village just outside Donny that I played a few games for back in 2001.

It wouldnt surprise me if they were involved in the fighting as they've had some right battles with Queens in the past.

Upton?

Are you saying Leeds fans would get involved in fighting because Queens are a club from here?

It was Doncaster Moorends who started it all because they couldnt take that we beat them last week.

What did they do?

I here a Donny fan called one of the Queens players a Paki and the Queens fans took it into there own hands to sort the said fan out which startred it all off.

What about the scuffles, abuse etc that had happened before that? (or was that pre-emptive sorting). And to be fair even if that was said...is that an excuse for a mass brawl?

And the game the day after...who called who what there?

The real question that has not yet been answered by Doncaster but which will undoubtably be asked by any RFL enquiry is why, when an all-seater ground is involved, when Queens were sent a batch of tickets to purchase, why were opposition fans allowed to take up positions in that section ?

Thats the question that was on the lips of all the Queens supporters after the troublemakers appeared in their section, a section that included many women and children and indeed the young baby of one of the Queens players, and one that conveniently seems to have been ignored by Donny at the moment.

No.

As I suspected.



Anyone seen the video on that website that has videos of stuff yet?

What a load of crap, Queens and Moorends have had a great frienship over the last few years, the week before back at the Moorends HQ was one of the better social sides of the game Moorends have had all season.

I think you should talk to the real Queens supporters who many of the 14 Moorends people (I say people because there was probably only 4 players in that small group) where sat talking to, these true supporters disowned the MORONS a long time before it kicked off.

Both Queens and Doncaster will be in the draw for the next round as the RFL "Have not yet received all of the evidence required to make a decision" according to the lunchtime news.

Lets get it right, the Keepmoat is not segregated for Rugby League games and the Doncaster supporters where already there before the Queens morons came out of the bar.

Funnily enough that section also included the Doncaster’s captains wife, two small children and father-in-law.

Must also add that Andy Wilson said he did not know the morons.

Whoever and whatever, the main reason for moving the game to the Keepmoat was security and H&S issues, it would appear that no regard for either of these two issues was made, Doncaster have some serious questions to answer for allowing the situation to progress unhindered as it did, hence the reason for the RFL not simply awarding the tie to the leading team at the abandonment as they could have done at 63 minutes.

Interesting to see McField cast in the role of apologist here

I have contacts, all is never as it seems oh small one

I've heard it said that you lack specs appeal, big man
