Playing against the likes of Leeds Rhinos, Wigan Warriors, Warrington Wolves and Betfred Super League and World Champions St Helens week in and week out is the pinnacle of the spot in this country.
This is the dream of every Betfred Championship club and every Betfred League One club as well.
Which is why Dewsbury Rams will reduce in their journey back to the Championship where they had been since a historic unbeaten season in 2009 to earn promotion.
They were relegated last year but are set to return to the second tier in 2024.
However, as they prepare for this, the club have been forced to issue a statement about supporter behaviour.
They have underlined their stance against discriminatory behaviour at home, away or online.
The club made the statement this week and it reads as follows:
“Due to recent isolated incidents at the club, we feel that at this point in time we must remind all of our supporters of the following.
“Anti-social behaviour, whether it be offensive, discriminatory, homophobic language or aggressive behaviour is not welcome at the club, this also applies when visiting other clubs. If such behaviour is reported and if a named individual is identified, this could lead to a ban being issued. Additionally, this behaviour could also lead to financial penalties against the club.
“Any individual who makes personal attacks, threats, or comments/posts of a derogatory nature on the club’s official social media channels could also receive a ban from the club, as well as a ban or permanent removal of access to these accounts.
“On matchdays, we attempt to make the experience at FLAIR Stadium a pleasant one for both home and away fans, should any supporter wish to report any issues on future matchdays then please contact the nearest steward or report it to the club at office@dewsburyrams.uk
“Whilst we appreciate that recent incidents have only involved a minority of our supporters, we will not tolerate any behaviour which may jeopardise the family-friendly environment at our club and we will not hesitate in taking firm action in respect of any such behaviour reported.”
