It happens every game

Lucky someone caught it on camera as no doubt the CCTV would have been convieniently looking elsewhere

Just a thought but the video was taken by a widnes fan did it show him push a female police officer down the stairs from behind oops no it missed that bit.....if the steward has done this to the wrong person or caused those injuries then yeah he should be punished

The police will collect and collate the evidence and the CPS will examine it first before deciding whether charges are appropriate

It doesn't matter whether it was the right person or not. Having a high-viz jacket or a little card strapped to your arm does give you carte-blanche to go around assaulting members of the public that you happen to take a dislike to.

Granted, we don't have all the evidence but thus far, there is nothing in that video to suggest that the steward (who is acting as a representative of WWRLFC), is acting in a way that was necessary to defend himself from harm.

A simple "we are aware of reports of an incident and assiting the police with their enquiries" would suffice from the club.

Strange that its only just gone national? I would like to know when the pics of the victim were taken. Said when it happened that the steward appeared to be hitting his arm to remove it from the crush bar. Seems Cheshire police are not rushing into anything.
