Maybe some of the Haven fans should speak to the young lad a few years back who was so worse for wear with drink he missed the coach , was he assaulted with baseball bats , robbed and left to the mercy of the leyth hordes ?

No he was given a lift by a leigh director to a pub run by another Leigh director were he stayed until the following day when his father could drive down to pick him up

It is just a game , not life or death , I personally have never had any problems with any fans from Cumbria , maybe it is because no matter what happens on the pitch , when the whistle goes , it is over , we are all fans of the GG , a smile and a " see you next year " goes a long way to a happy exit

Plenty 'Haven fans said the same to me after the game on Sunday, I must admit and were similarly unimpressed with the stewards.

For what it's worth, the first 'going down' chant was only started when one of the 'Haven fans who was hurling abuse outside of the bar came across with a tirade that I believe was translated in to English as something along the lines of "you shouldn't even be playing us you cheating barstewards".

Would that be the other wheelchair bound guy who you were explaining Gatesheads misdemeanours to Matt? He was so appreciative of you taking your time to explain, he told you to 'go away' as you walked away.

I didn't hang around much to be honest, I was dying to pay a visit, so to speak

Obviously a different interpretation of the word 'cheating' in Whitehaven as there is at Red Hall.

oh has some one got a new staduim, sorry rent a new staduim

The same complaints have been made about 'Haven year after year. Still, Hilton Park is probably in better nick now than the appopriately named Rec ever will be.

Our old one had at least a working electricity plug the away teams video crew could use, and yes we have and its very nice too your video crew will be welcome anytime if you could afford to send one something your lot havent done for the last couple of years.

Ha ha! My mate who's a school teacher got offered a season ticket at haven for the 09' season, if he helped build a wall at the rec!

We don't rent our ground.

Taking a drunk to a pub is cruel.

The same thing happened when Tuuta was playing for fev, it even got as far as court

It was a B n B as well

And another good sayong is " We either have a p1sshead Cumbrian sheep molester for a kid or we've been flooded again " springs to mind

Haven forum has been shut down yesterday, hmmmm.

Edit, Not on this forum but their choccy n gold one

damn i wish id gone and had a look at what they've been saying now.

Im sorry you didnt enjoy your trip up to Whitehaven, the true fans who go to the matches everyweek regardless of the score or the league position never cause this sort of trouble. Its usually the people who dont have a clue about Rugby League.

Every club has their share of idiots unfortunatly.

I would appriciate you wouldnt put all us haven fans under the same roof as those idiots as most of us get along with all other fans.

Hopefully your next trip to Haven (if we stay up) is more enjoyable.

Good Luck in the League

I appreciate your sentiments mckenzie, however if your club cannot be bothered to even acknowledge my email let alone state they are investigating the stewards and wheelchair derby incidents, then The Recreation Ground is off my radar completely. I will not put my family through that again. I spoke to a Bern Amor who gave me her email address. Having said that the RFL don't acknowledge or reply to emails either.

...and this is what it says



There is no club official site I can find either, I thought in this day and age all clubs had a presence in the internet.

Well they are either changing to the new RL based one, not renewed the certificate (like I didn't) or have proved the recent rumours true and gone belly up.

By the "no further comment" part, I can only imagine it's a legal issue.

Im afraid there's nothing I can do about the club not replying, they should step forward and send apologies and take action but Im not in control of anything that happens down there.
I can agree with you on some of the stewarding at the ground, it isnt professional, but not all the stewards that work at the rec act like that.

To what I remember iv never had any trouble with any Leigh fans at home or away so I cant say anything against anybody.

Bern Amor..mother of Kyle, is just the lady on the front desk at the office...in all fairness she aint going give you a response but she will have passed it to those concerned.
The club is going through a massive upheaval, the general manager left few weeks ago and is duties shared amongst others and an ex general manager who is getting on a bit and probably doesnt know how switch a PC on has came to help out organise things match days.
Hopefully there will be a response from someone!

The website ran by Flannerz who also does 'last tackle' web site came off month or two ago, He no long wants involved with it, But the club was supposed be getting the new RFL template like Fax have got which helps all championship clubs with costs...probably with all up heaval and financial problems no ones pushing it on now.
He does still run the forum which is nothing to do with the club and i dont know whats been posted on there for it to be taken off.Does look quite serious from what i hear, But i dont know whose made the complaint?...There has been all kinds about our coach and BOD of late and nothing ever said.

Every club has a few idiots and sometimes chanting and stuff which majority of time is just banter spills over.Especially when tensions are running high over a defeat etc.
I didnt see what happened, Personally think its been handbags at ten paces and "he said that you said that"
Only thing i saw were some young leigh fans later on outside ground still singing your going down before going on their way in mini bus.
I dont think the two doormen who are employed for the bar not the ground should have got involved,Who ever was to blame for it the Stewards should have been there to sort it and yes they are trained.
Not all Haven fans are trouble, was only few weeks ago lot Fax fans made a weekend of it and had a great night in our bar and then into town.
Fred and Dave Parky both know who i am and ive even written for your match program for Dave.
Good luck rest of season

Was not having a pop at Bern as my email was for the attention of your Chairman, and she stated she would pass it on.

What the hell has that got to do with what this thread is about? If you knew anything at all about it you would know that that incident happened at WORKINGTON not Whitehaven and it involved a young disabled girl with learning difficulties stood near to the players tunnel and not anything similar to this situation.

He is from Featherstone Hugh they dont get out much

so its your turn this week to be let down by fans and where were those oh so proffesional stewards one of you was baging on about.
like i said every club has the idiot brigade,and it up to all of us to point them out and our respective clubs to sort it out
time for some of you to get off your self righteous soap boxes and look at your own club
