What the Widnes fan done was totally out of order and he should be banned for life, there's no need for that in our sport. What the steward done was nothing less than assault, this could have caused a full scale riot.

When you watch this video the steward dishing out the "uppercuts" is actually only hitting the Widnes fans arm in what appears to be an attempt to make him let go of the barrier. Not trying to justify the actions but pointing out that another view gives another interpretation. Sure the club and the police will view ALL the evidence, including whatever CCTV footage the club has of the incident, and make a balanced and thought out response.

Agreed, he's only using the official Wigan 'third man in' tackling technique.

| The 'fan' is holding the barrier, the punches are to the top of his arms. That would be deemed 'reasonable force'.
Just because he's a gripper doesn't mean anything besides I wish it had been his face, if cowardly scum want to kick off in groups at matches they might think twice if they thought they'd get a few smacks around the face.
Ask yourself this, the steward is surrounded by police, do you not think he's not aware of that, he's trained and given a proportionate of legal backing to use force. These guys might look dumb but they not what they are doing and how to do it.
They did a sterling job in my opinion on this occasion.

| First time I watched the video, it looked pretty bad. Watched it another couple of times though and it does look like the guy has hold of the steward so the steward is trying to punch the guy's arms to get free of him. Kind of like in games when you see a player strike the arm of another player who has hold of his shirt or arm but obviously this looks more aggressive. Not as bad as I first thought though.

Not exactly sure what franchising / financial instability of clubs has to do with the actions of certain ' richard craniums ' www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/new ... d_trouble/
Two charged, 1 bailed pending enquiries, 2 fixed penalty notices and Cheshire Police confirmed they are aware of the "steward footage" on the internet and that officer are reviewing all available evidence........ I think the word ALL here is pertinent. let the professional make the decision about what is/isnt required to happen.
