RFL to investigate crowd trouble

The RFL has launched an investigation into the crowd trouble after last night’s Northern Rail Cup Semi-Final between Featherstone and Halifax.

The RFL have confirmed that both clubs have agreed to fully co-operate with the investigation along with inquiries by West Yorkshire Police in relation to fighting between the rival supporters outside the Big Fellas Stadium.

Featherstone CEO Simon Riley has already vowed to take a firm stance and impose a life ban on any fans found guilty of fighting.

The RFL is awaiting a copy of the Ground Safety Officer’s report and will be speaking to club officials and other parties during the course of its investigation.
