Thanks for those pics tortured soul. Yep positive pics on the group of offenders here.
See 2nd link (2674 jpg) Where copyright is shown on the photo. The offenders are as follows.

1. If you look at the top arch of the C (part of superimposed Copyright) the guy in the black jacket, short hair (receding) with hands clasped leaning on barrier and 2. guy in red shirt with stocky build to left of him with left hand in air (goaty beard) -This was main offender for continual racist language 3. guy stood on steps on other side of no 1. with black cap with white stripe and black jacket. These were the consistent offenders. They were spoken to around half time by the steward and warned about racist language. I turned around at this time and appealed to the steward that they should be ejected. The steward failed to remove them and they continued to racially abuse Halifax players and attempted to intimidate the Halifax fans around them. The steward in the control box at top central was aware of the problem but failed to act and just shrugged his shoulders. At the final whistle this group identified above were joined by some younger trouble causers and spat on the halifax fans in front. This should be clearly identifiable on the cctv at the ground. I've phoned Halifax RLFC this morning and lodged a formal complaint and also phoned Leigh Sports Village and was supposed to be called back by their Health and Safety rep. (no call received to press) I urge any other fans who can give a positive ID and witnessed this behaviour to come forward. (note you can zoom in on the photobucket link)- added below

Unfortunately the LSV stewards should have dealt with the problem but failed to take appropriate action. If fans hadn't raised this issue on the forum the individuals concerned would probably get away with it. In the absence of numbered rows/aisles, identifying the individuals concerned would be difficult after the event. In hindsight the police should have been notified at the time, but the LSV staff should have done this. The pictures posted have provided an opportunity to identify the position in the ground and now the relevant investigations can take place. Nobody has asked for names to be posted on here just that statements of the incident/Positive ID's be passed to Greater Manchester Police/ LSV/ Clubs. It is in the interests of everyone to ensure these individuals are brought to justice. Please telephone Greater Manchester Police on 0161 872 5050 with any info you can provide.

Alex's dad raises a good point and we don't, as he says, need a which hunt about it.

Maybe, now that the photo is on here, simply lock this thread and let the individuals who know who they are to contact the appropriate authorities and point them out that way. We've pretty much sussed it's mainly 3 people but to save someones image being dragged into it publically, we should maybe not let people point them out on here.

Think all the evidence collected so far should be kept. I've alerted the police via email to the thread so they can review the information, but obviously this wont be done immediately so the evidence needs to remain. Would encourage anyone who witnessed the events or anyone with positive Id's to call 0161 8725050 (Greater Manchester Police)immediately.

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg



The evidence can remain on photobucket or wherever you can save the images to cd to give to the police. There are many innocent people on thoose photos. If you are singling out those four and the ones who possible joined them later, you should have cut the photo accordingly.

Quote: daveshay "Think all the evidence collected so far should be kept. '"

what evidence is this?
all i see here is a photo of a crowd.
how are they to prove any racism was going on from a still photo?

in the interest of fairness and sanity im going to lock this thread and delete any others that mention the "alleged" incident until things have been proven either way.

the thread will still exist so the police will still be able to view it but theres 3 pages of posts and no one has or will identify them.

you can bet the next home match they will be looked out for a watched very closely though icon_wink.gif
