Quote: Father Ted "If they did have a risk assessment then they got it very wrong.
Just that when at the DW I've looked out from the East Stand to see stewards shoulder to shoulder along the touch lines to prevent encroachment onto the pitch.
The small number that did invade the pitch at Leigh would have been prevented and may not have attempted it had there be that shoulder to shoulder cordon which is often seen at many, many grounds.
I just feel that those who had the responsibility to get it right failed and due to their failure they will blame the Widnes club.
Deal with the offenders and no one else.'"
Is that a wind up Ted, I could go to DW next week with a few hundred mates and I'll bet you anything you want we could invade the pitch, there is even stuff on you tube showing latics fans on the pitch www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoEBFwRbFZsat DW and the average age seems to be about 14 and 6st wet through
The FACTS are some folk supporting Widnes in the Widnes end chose to rip up advertising boards, behave like bell ends and invade the pitch. Some folk supporting Widnes bottled the Cas team coach pre game - the Widnes club have the job of sorting it out and issuing apologies to innocent parties ie Cas, LSV co, RFL and anyone who saw it.
I wish them well in getting it sorted asap especially for the vast majority of great Widnes fans this incident has tarnished

Have they been named or banned yet ? Everything seemed to go quiet at the end of the season.

Widnes have two options. Ban the individuals themselves or lets Cheshire police take action (if applicable) and let the courts ban them. The difference (in basic terms), club ban means police can remove from ground.....court ban means police must arrest.

| Widnes should be allowed to go after these 'fans' to recover costs.

47035_1386433761.gif We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

What can I claim for?
You can receive compensation for a number of things, including
medical expenses;
travelling expenses
I should think they can sue for loss of earnings.
