has rugby league suffered from decades of fan violence and hooliganism? if you compare football since the various law changes were introduced with what went on in the 70s and 80s - in terms of the experience, treatment and safety of all supporters - then the law has achieved an immense improvement. to be effective a law has to draw and enforce a line - any line is to a degree arbitrary. yes, one over-excited guy is not a great problem, but if you don't have the law and next time it's ten, then a hundred, and then fans from both teams, we risk going back to the thuggery and violence of 40 years ago. before the laws fans were controlled with fences. i can't see why anyone would want to risk that. banning orders are now rare, which is a good outcome and a sign that the law and the penalties works. |
Check out the Hull Derby over the years! | | | |

Should we all have been banned following the Huddersfield game? |  | | |

Presumably he’s been enjoying the ‘hospitality’, but bans for stuff like this with no intent are farcical. I can understand why Leif wouldn’t want someone grabbing hold of him but there’s no malice by the looks of it, just someone getting carried away and causing no harm. [Post edited 13 Apr 8:49]

While I agree he was just someone getting carried away and causing no harm, you need stiff penalties to deter others. If people think they might get away with just a slap on the wrist, more will try it. And it only takes one nutter with a knife for things to go badly wrong.
So a banning order isn't really reflecting what he did himself, more the wider picture. |  |

Yep, game was over, he was celebrating and threatened no one.
But if Norfolk plod prosecute he'll be facing a banning order with little argument that can be put forward.
Why authoritarian laws are so backwards. And there will be plenty on here cheer leading a ban too.
Wonder if a Rugby league fan behaving the exact same way would get treated the same by the courts? Do they even have banning orders for other sports? |
Can’t speak for ey-up rugby but in union it was mainly women wanting to grab hold of you. Sadly, getting too old for all that now. | | | |
