Traumatised mum says Souths supporters were so VILE to Cowboys fans her family had to leave the game

A North Queensland family has made an official complaint to the NRL after they were forced to leave Accor Stadium early because of alleged abuse from South Sydney supporters.

The family recently re-located to Sydney and went to the Saturday night blockbuster between the Rabbitohs and the Cowboys at the Homebush venue.

It was their first time attending a Souths match at Accor Stadium and mother Cindy said they were left stunned by the abusive behaviour and language from the crowd.

It ultimately meant they were forced to leave during the first half, with her 10-year-old son hiding the Cowboys logo on his jacket because he feared for his safety.

‘We will never attend another game against [the] Rabbitohs,’ she posted in a North Queensland Cowboys supporters group on social media.

‘We totally get passion – we are NQlders – but the filth, language, lude actions and the words that flew out of South’s mouths towards not only [toward] the visiting Cowboys, [but] Cowboys supporters and [referee Gerard] Sutton.

‘[They had no] regard to families in attendance, even their own.

‘[It] was something that even gobsmacked our 7 and 10 year olds to the point they wanted to leave 20mins into the first half.

‘It was absolutely disgusting that it really dampened what was such a lead up to an exciting experience.

‘We may be from the North but I can say hand on heart, we’ve never treated any visiting team to the reception we experienced first hand last night that our lads experienced. It was nothing but disgusting.

Mrs Bogan said the moment her eldest son felt he had to hide the fact that he was a Cowboys supporters was the final straw. 

‘It was nothing short of disgusting. When a 10 year old who absolutely LOVES his Cowboys feels for his own ‘protection’ on a mental note that he needed to cover up his NQ Cowboys emblem on his jacket and walked out of the stadium with such a look of sadness, not on the loss but on the peoples actions and words – that is when it is taken too far,’ she said.

Mrs Bogan said the family had reported the incident to the NRL, but she is not expecting any action to be taken.  

‘Complaint emailed this morning directly to the NRL. I highly doubt anything will come of it but my piece has now been said,’ she said.

South Sydney will continue to call Accor Stadium home after a bid to re-locate to the new Allianz Stadium fell through.

The Rabbitohs beat the Cowboys 20-10 to ensure their finals spot after the visitors were reduced to 11 men on the field with Coen Hess and Kyle Feldt in the sin bin.
