Trinity launch investigation into troublemakers

Wakefield Wildcats have confirmed that they are to launch an invesigation into crowd trouble which occurred during their game with Bradford at the weekend.

According to the club, incidents of “misconduct and unacceptable behaviour of spectators” occurred during Saturday’s fixture.

A club statement reads:

The club in conjunction with stewarding supplier Radius, the Police and the RFL, would welcome any information relevant to the investigation. Supporters are requested to email the information to info@wakefieldwildcats.co.uk

The investigation will consider all elements of this incident, including supporters, stewards, policies and procedures.”

Trinity chairman Michael Carter added: “We have received reports of alleged disorder during the game on Saturday. As a club we will not tolerate such things and will cooperate fully with any investigation.

“I will not tolerate any form of abuse, and if there are culprits who are proven to be guilty of this, they will be banned from ever attending another game in which this club plays.

“It is extremely sad in this day and age that a small minority can tarnish the event. The overwhelming majority of both sets of supporters mixed freely on the day and created an excellent atmosphere befitting this great sport.

“It is a great shame that there may be those that cannot conduct themselves in a manner befitting the 21st century and those people are not welcome in rugby league, nor any society that I know.”
