I ran the HISA website at the time and produced a statement within hours on the fans site denouncing the incident and pledging support to out those responsible. I arranged for said "sorry" banner to be made.
The biggest thing the Widnes club can do is to coral the decent fans to work together and rebuild the reputation of the club. It will take some strong minded people, but it can be done. I wish the true fans well in working with the club to rid themselves of this unwelcome element.

The 2000 semi final and the aftermath was a terrible, terrible time for genuine Hull fans but as has been said it spurred the club and the real supporters into action.
I sympathise with the majority of Widnes fans and hope they can root out the morons.

The only positive was watching a Widnes "fan" turn round to punch someone who had pulled him out of the Cas stand thinking it was a steward, only to realise it was a rather large Cas forward.

He's not the only one either. There are quite a few identifying themselves on Social Media. The idiot who was goading the steward whilst the after match interviews were going on has a picture of him doing just that on his facebook page.

Brilliant! I remember a wire fan squaring up to Ganson in the 2011 play off game then getting absolutely floored by a Leeds player! |

"Leeds is the greatest club in Rugby League"
Alex Murphy 2011: |
|
| Quote: Bal "
Clearly there needs to be a message put out, like there was against Hull and Castleford previously that we are a family game and this is not acceptable and that will need to be brought against the Widnss club, but all the same I hope that there is sufficient evidence here via CCTV, TV, press and the mobile pics and videos to bring prosecutions against the actual culprits (morons) here.
Personally I would support a hefty fine, supported by strong commitments from the Widnes club including life time ban as the appropriate action from our sport, and appropriate police action aside. I wouldn't, for what its worth, support a ban from competition or league points being docked.'"
Don't think there's a need to overreact against the Widnes club itself for some morons that are society's problem. Both Hull and Castleford have been involved in serious incidents since their fines many years ago, this season alone Castleford have had a supporter on the pitch confronting the ref and a couple of weeks ago A bottle was thrown at Leeds players from the Castleford fans at Headingley. Leeds didn't make a complaint and the RFL decided not to punish Castleford. Let's not get into a situation where fans from rival clubs start calling for punishments to others because they have been historically punished themselves. Let's see how Widnes react as a club before we hang draw and quarter them. |

Widnes (like other clubs) have had this element of their support for over 40 years. To pretend otherwise is false.
Widnes is a small town where everyone knows of everyone else via the "grapevine". If the Widnes club and more particularly the Widnes supporters and people as a whole (including employers) are serious about rooting these people out they will EASILY be named and shamed within 48 hours. If that doesn't happen I personally will conclude the majority of Widnesians condone this despite any hot air that eminates from them. If that's the case, then the club should be sanctioned and banned from the CC for a couple of years,
Over to you Widnesians. Get them shopped.

That was back in 2000 - so should be significantly higher now to be comparable.

[i:5a56um9q]Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.[/i:5a56um9q]

Is that the same James Rule who is now at Widnes? He must feel cursed.

Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?: |

Very well found but, that is neither from 2000 or, in fact, the incident he is refering to.

The article is from 2007 but it refers to the 2000 semi final and says the fine for that are as Wigg'n says.
I'd be happy with that kind of punishment but as Dally says inflated a little since it was 14 years ago.
Something along the lines of £80k fine, 40k of which suspended. |
