Decent people in Widnes will know who they are. Lets name and shame them on here or elsewhere on social media. I am sure the club and police will be interested.

As a Cougar Fan , we went to Naughton park for the quarter final , met some amazing passionate and thoroughly welcoming home fans who we had a fantastic evening with ..massively feel for those real fans now who are being stigmatized by a minority of s ...

TBH the misdemeanors of theses idiots is even more galling in view of the recent passing of Widnes Super Fan Pat Price ... they are a disgrace and I hope the Vikings management proper throw the book at em..

I’ve got a feeling the RFL are going to come down hard on this one.

The scenes look to come from a different era, maybe a lower league football club, or even some obscure South American match.

The stewarding looked very thin compared to the numbers entering the pitch, maybe whoever was in charge of things never expected that level of imbecilic behaviour.

As a Widnes fans this evening I am totally embarrassed. I thought the performance of the team was as bad as it was going to get but things got a lot worse and I'm devastated.
Firstly... apologies to the Cas fans for not being able to celebrate a fantastic performance in what has been an amazing year for them and all the very best for the final.
Regarding the people on the photos and videos. I attend pretty much every home and away game. I have had a good long look at the faces to see whether I can identify the people in them. Maybe not necessarily know their names but see if I recognise any from near where I sit. After a good long look none of the faces look familiar but I am not for one minute denying that these aren't Widnes fans.
I honestly hope the club can act decisively and ban these idiots for a very long time. I also would not complain if we were expelled from next years competition or suffered a significantly serious fine.
The general reaction from most widnes fans this evening is embarrasment but also some determination that these idiots are weeded out and handed over to the authorities. I appreciate that the majority of people on here have acknowledged that we are talking about a very small minority of fans and I'm thankful for that but unfortunately their actions have tarnished the club's name and our reputation as a fan base.
Once again... good luck to any Cas fans reading this thread and too to Leeds. I thought I would just be nursing a sore head at missing out on a Wembley trip this year but I cant tell you how badly I feel tonight as a result of those idiots.

Rach, you've hit the nail on the head there she would have been horrified by those scenes but I doubt any of these numbskulls knew or cared who Pat was.
Thanks for your nice words though. Muchly appreciated.

I ran the HISA website at the time and produced a statement within hours on the fans site denouncing the incident and pledging support to out those responsible. I arranged for said "sorry" banner to be made.

The biggest thing the Widnes club can do is to coral the decent fans to work together and rebuild the reputation of the club. It will take some strong minded people, but it can be done. I wish the true fans well in working with the club to rid themselves of this unwelcome element.

The 2000 semi final and the aftermath was a terrible, terrible time for genuine Hull fans but as has been said it spurred the club and the real supporters into action.

I sympathise with the majority of Widnes fans and hope they can root out the morons.

The only positive was watching a Widnes "fan" turn round to punch someone who had pulled him out of the Cas stand thinking it was a steward, only to realise it was a rather large Cas forward.

He's not the only one either. There are quite a few identifying themselves on Social Media. The idiot who was goading the steward whilst the after match interviews were going on has a picture of him doing just that on his facebook page.

Brilliant! I remember a wire fan squaring up to Ganson in the 2011 play off game then getting absolutely floored by a Leeds player!
