we are on that pic but didnt hear anything said? not sure who these guys are, never seen them before.

I would have expected LSV/Leigh to contact them after their own investigations.

there is more than one individual involved in this!! A lot of Fax fans have mailed the RFL, Leigh and Fax about this abuse, racism and intimidation. I heard racist comments about Rob Worrincy calling him a n****r and that he should have his visa taken off him when we replied about racism we were told that if we didn't want racist comments then we knew what to do 'get rid of our black players'. I spoke to a steward but got no joy there!!

IMO, the affected fax fans with this evidence should have already contacted the police.

I agree with you too JC.

Some serious allegations here on a public forum - not sure it's the best way to resolve this. There is no reason whatsoever to doubt what the Fax fans are saying but this could easily turn into a public witchhunt.

'The lad in the pink shirt' might only be a point of reference to a picture at the moment but once the rumour mill gets going before you know it he's a 'racsist thug who spat at my wife and ate my dog'.

Unfortunately the LSV stewards should have dealt with the problem but failed to take appropriate action. If fans hadn't raised this issue on the forum the individuals concerned would probably get away with it. In the absence of numbered rows/aisles, identifying the individuals concerned would be difficult after the event. In hindsight the police should have been notified at the time, but the LSV staff should have done this. The pictures posted have provided an opportunity to identify the position in the ground and now the relevant investigations can take place. Nobody has asked for names to be posted on here just that statements of the incident/Positive ID's be passed to Greater Manchester Police/ LSV/ Clubs. It is in the interests of everyone to ensure these individuals are brought to justice. Please telephone Greater Manchester Police on 0161 872 5050 with any info you can provide.

Alex's dad raises a good point and we don't, as he says, need a which hunt about it.

Maybe, now that the photo is on here, simply lock this thread and let the individuals who know who they are to contact the appropriate authorities and point them out that way. We've pretty much sussed it's mainly 3 people but to save someones image being dragged into it publically, we should maybe not let people point them out on here.

Think all the evidence collected so far should be kept. I've alerted the police via email to the thread so they can review the information, but obviously this wont be done immediately so the evidence needs to remain. Would encourage anyone who witnessed the events or anyone with positive Id's to call 0161 8725050 (Greater Manchester Police)immediately.

The evidence can remain on photobucket or wherever you can save the images to cd to give to the police. There are many innocent people on thoose photos. If you are singling out those four and the ones who possible joined them later, you should have cut the photo accordingly.

what evidence is this?
all i see here is a photo of a crowd.
how are they to prove any racism was going on from a still photo?

in the interest of fairness and sanity im going to lock this thread and delete any others that mention the "alleged" incident until things have been proven either way.

the thread will still exist so the police will still be able to view it but theres 3 pages of posts and no one has or will identify them.

you can bet the next home match they will be looked out for a watched very closely though
