Warrington steward.

Yep, just re-read. Apologies. Can the Mods change the title please.

This is what I meant when I said about the bloke bringing the club/sport into disrepute. The only time we get a sizeable bit of coverage in the paper is when it is bad news.

Disgusting behaviour from a person tasked with fans safety and welfare..Hope he does get sent down.
Warrington are a decent club and a well run club but this one bad apple will leave a bad taste in everyones mouths.They dont deserve the criticism that will more than likely come their way.

I have to say, the silence from Warrington on this issue has been deafening.

Sadly it often tends to be- my main and probably only problem with the club.

looks like a clear cut case of 'head to fist' IMO.

Nothing to see here.............

Wow, he certainly wasn't holding back !

If there is a police investigation into the alleged assault then the silence by Warrington is entirely appropriate.

Remember there are two sides to most 'stories' like this, the papers yet again dramatise it and portray an attack on an 'innocent' victim. That may be the case he may of left the steward with no option, that's for a court of law to decide.

Have Warrington commented on the case yet?

There was a incident after the Warrington v Hull FC play off game last season. One steward prevented Aaron Heremaia from handing his boots to a Hull fan. A bit of pushing and shoving led to punches being thrown mainly from one idiot steward.

According to a club statement a few days later, Warrington identified the steward in question and were due to meet the security company to ensure that particular individual wasn't used at the HJ again.

I wonder if it was the same steward? To be honest they all looked like EDL type thugs.

I agree that if the police are looking at this then it's right that Warrington don't comment. But what possible situation could leave the steward with no option but to throw numerous punches at a defenceless person while another steward holds his hands behind his back?

The paper wrote a one sided story based on an interview with the alleged victim and a mobile phone video taken by a 'friend'. If you read the comments underneath someone who claims to be a witness says there was a lot more to it. I don't really want to speculate as to what might of happened. All I was saying is don't take a one sided newspaper article as gospel.

The police will look at the evidence, the CPS will press charges if appropriate then magistrates or a jury will decide whether a crime has been committed.
