Quote: leighonardo "It was myself who said that to him and he said he would take it off if I came up to his face and said it again. I will inform everyone of the reason why I said he was a disgrace.
Myself and my mate (Wayne - Southern Leyther) went to use the gents toilets immediately after the game before boarding the coach home. Upon seeing the queue I suggested we used the one in the main bar which we assumed would be far less congested.
As we approached the bar there was a group of Whitehaven supporters, congregated round the entrance verbally objecting to some Leigh Supporters chanting 'Going Down, Going Down' whilst they were leaving the terraces.
The response at this stage was nothing more than a few Whitehaven fans engaging in a bit of the usual name calling, a few 'cheat' remarks in return and a couple of expletives thrown in for good measure.
This all began to fizzle out as the Leigh supportes passed them and the Whitehaven fans turned away and made their way into the bar with us behind them.
What was absolutely disgusting was 2 Whitehaven stewards on the door then waving the Whitehaven fans back out of the bar and one of the stewards urging the group of fans.
'What are you all waiting for, go and f ing confront them.. F ing go on,go for it !!!! '
When we came out of the bar we saw the 2 stewards physically,forcefully shoving and manhandling 2 Leigh supporters right out of the ground.
I usually have a 13 year old girl with me watching Leigh everywhere, who thankfully didn't fancy such a long journey to whitehaven on this occasion. She won't be attending The Rec for the next few years at least either, that is for sure.
I will be contacting Whitehaven myself to formally complain later on today.'"
Yes james i can back your story up i still cannot belive the stewards were encouraging the haven fans to go for it.
I for one will never give whitehaven the time of day if they are allowing thugs (sorry stewards) to control there stadium.The big tall bald guy was the worst of the two,he's the one that had a few words for you james when you asked him why he was wearing a hi viz vest.
As for the big guy in the wheelchair after the game we were making our way to the toilets when he drove his way into the queue shouting you bunch of (cheating barstewards) and other words i dont wish to repeat.i was glad to get back on the coach.
