It looked that way to me when I saw the trouble at the KC and Belle Vue.

For some reason the Widnes fans who post on RL fans don't talk about it too much. A few that do have highlighted that they have a certain minority in their travelling support who seem to be involved in trouble frequently.

I was at a Leeds away game a couple of years ago and some lads were getting rowdy. The stewards tried and failed, and it took a group of genuine fans to (putting it politely) tell them to shut up before they did. It sounds like a cliche, but these morons respond more to their "own" telling them to get a grip than anything else. Take away the acceptance of their clan, and they have nothing.

I few of them got carted off by Cheshire police so maybe they will have been charged and therefore easily identified by the club. It did look like police actually had batons drawn at one point last night.

Good ban all trouble makers from all teams from all grounds for life, we do not need them but it happens all the time, when I was a young lad and when I got married and had kids it was like it, some Moran would spoil it for others we was always pointing them out to police

At the magic weekend there was a group of young, rather 'vociferous' widnes fans that were barracking a couple of Wire fans, it looked like it was going to turn nasty till the Wire fans moved - i hope the Widnes club stamp this out quickly though, i dont want to read about crowd trouble at RL games - and thats 3 away games in a row i've read about Widnes fans kicking off !

I'd like to know how they have got into the stadium carrying smoke bombs. Surely this is a security issue for Warrington as well as bans from the widnes club?

I hope they root them out and ban them, and i hope any genuine fan who knows who these numbskulls are doesnt hesitate in handing over their names to the club.

I'd just like to say that while there are some morons following Widnes, not all of their supporters are bad. I've had probably one of my best memories of opposition fans come from a Widnes Fan at the Premiership final against Bradford in 1989 I think(Hull KR were in the 2nd division final against Oldham and got beat after being 28-4 up). I was only a lad and I was queuing for a drink at half time and a Widnes fan accidentally pushed into me and knocked me over. He not only picked me up and said sorry but he also bought me my drink. That level of behaviour and friendliness is what we should all strive for in our game.

From the looks of it about 4 or 5 fella's and about 15 cheer leaders.

From an average crowd of 6k that's way below 1%.

Lets not hang the club or Widnes over a few headcases.

The club have acted in the best way possible, because whilst they may miss the income of 15 people. They would miss by far the income of sponsors, away fans and home fans.

Part of the issue is that on away fixtures it's always harder to police your own set of supporters. So away fans tend to be able to create incident after incident.

I can only think of Wigan who have managed to take fans to task, whilst at Huddersfield earlier this year.

I think some support for clubs from fans, to take strong action and ban across all clubs. The difficulty with a ban is enforcing it. If I take my £20-£25 on match day, no one has a clue who I am.

So it's only really effective on season ticket holders.

YES I agree you can not paint all fans with the same brush and the game you was on about was 29oldham 28 rovers I was their and was gutted at the time

Let's be fair, they're not fans, I doubt they're season ticket holders or care at all about Widnes. They're a bunch of pi***d up blokes looking for a bit of bother and seeing the rugby as something to latch on to. Not a Widnes shirt between em.

That's interesting because at the Wire v Trinity game last week the stewards were bag searching Wakefield fans at the turn style.
