Get those Widnes a55wipes off our pitch. I really hope they weren't fighting

Ripping the stadium up, running battles with stewards and police, pitch invasion and challenging the Cas fans to fight. Should ban them all.

Band wagon jumpers full of ale, not the first set of problems since getting back into SL

I'm furious with what I've seen from the Widnes fans today. It was a minority causing the trouble, but it was a large and significant minority.

A sad day for rugby league.

Disgraceful, hope they ban those responsible from RL games. Hope it doesn't affect the LSV holding big games in the future, be annoyed if our fantastic stadium misses out due to a couple of utter idiots.

There were stewards out there being beaten, and involved in pushing back running packs of Widnes fans. I think they did an admirable job, and though I couldn't say for sure I think it was handled by the book. Shouldn't reflect badly on the stadium.

Were you 'on duty' Michael? I hope they give a stadium wide ban to all of them.

(BTW I've merged the two threads together.)

Hope they'll be footing the bill for any damage. Even better, get them in to do the work themselves, it's not as if they'll have jobs to go to.

Yeah, I was doing the scoreboard. I was right in line with the South Stand and the Widnes fans involved in the trouble were a disgrace.

I've seen some photos on FB and Twitter and it looks disgraceful.

It needs those in charge at Widnes to immediately condemn these disgraceful scenes, to disown those idiots , to ban them all from future Widnes games ,and to pay the L.S.V. for any damage done, come on Widnes what are you waiting for

Cant blame the Widnes club for what happened after the game today......it will be non fans jumping on the band wagon by going to the game.
I know a couple of Widnes fans and they wouldnt do anything like what happened today as they are genuine fans.
Every club gets them jumping on the band wagon at big games......then you never see them till the next one.
We got 3500 on Friday as we got the league leaders shield if we won......how many of them will turn up next sunday at the LSV (all I hope), dont forget that we have had problems with kn**heads in the past.

Here's a video posted by someone who is obviously a real fan.

The multitude of folk dicking about on the pitch in Widnes tops may suggest they're far from one game wonders. As much as I agree we've had our own problems in the past, there certainly hasn't been anything on the scale or stage as what happened today.

There are pictures of the offenders, easily identified, Widnes do something about it, it was a disgrace, ban them all this should not be happening .

This isnt about banning its about locking them up, that was a riot - charge them with rioting

Plastic fans don't wear club shirts. We've had the same problems, before we start pointing fingers.


On the other hand, the Mutants should be used to coming to Leigh and getting beat

We have been at the LSV since 2009 and that is the first time I have ever seen that sort of stupid behaviour.

Most of them looked intoxicated to me. Widnes fans are a decent lot of fans and I am sure most of them were disgusted by those idiotic antics by about 100 fools.

I think there's enough CCTV and photos doing to social media rounds that most of the morons can be identified. Widnes have made a statement which says their recruitment programme will be put on hold till they find out how much this debacle is going to cost the club: www.widnesvikings.co.uk/article/ ... james-rule

Well done Widnes, but it would be a shame if their idiot followers cost the club a decent signing.

A small voice in the back of my mind is wondering if it was premeditated, let's be fair here - there is a proportion of Widnes fans who don't like us, and an excuse to trash our stadium may not be missed.

Great post. Agreed.

I hope Widnes do make examples of the idiots but how will it be policed? We don't have a Police intelligence unit at our games like football. The way the RFL and the councils will deal with it will be to put away fans in seperate parts of the ground which means more expense for the clubs so the ticket price will go up. This is the side of any sport I despise.

One question. Were the pictures shown live on the BBC?
