what got me is that the cas fan was talking to the stewards just before he lashed out. He was up at the top, pointing at the wigan fans and was obviously not happy with something they'd said. but then the fan literally went straight from talking to the stewards to walking down the steps, in front of the wigan fans and then punching the lad. and then after a ticking off by a steward he threw another punch at another lad. I'm sure if they hadnt been behind the barriers they could have been two pretty nasty swings. stewards should have kicked him out straight away, or at least have moved him from the area. keeping him cooped up right next to them did not help the problem at all.
Although I for one am not surprised he took offence as singing songs about beating wives and being yorkshire barstewards isnt very nice when there were a load of very young cas fans stood infront of them. However this is not an excuse to be throwing punches at teenagers.
Just cleaned up the inflammatory lie and the responses to it. Lets not go down that route again please while we consider which appendage to cut off the offender.

TBH I cant see what the problem is with songs, etc. The anti Yorkshire stuff has been sang for years and it's all banter.
The guy who kicked off was a tool, he was getting wound up around half time over Wigan fans singing full stop not what they where singing at that point. I was stood in the corner above him and he was a being a dick at least 20 mins before it kicked off. He needed to get a grip and laugh it off like all other fans have done over the years.
