Quote: Son of Les "Plastic fans don't wear club shirts. We've had the same problems, before we start pointing fingers.


On the other hand, the Mutants should be used to coming to Leigh and getting beat

Great post. Agreed.

Quote: Redchemic "First of all, I'd like to apologise for the scenes and the behaviour of the scum responsible for the trouble and hope there is little/no damage to the LSV. No excuse or reason for it other than idiots who can't handle beer.

I was in The Brittannia before the game though and saw no trouble, just both sets of fans having a few beers. Yes Widnes fans were singing but it didn't seem like it was aimed at goading Cas fans

Still seething and embarrassed.'"


Thats good to hear both sets of fans getting on,just goes to show you can't believe everything you are told.

I feel sorry for Widnes who have spent years rebuilding their team from the bottom up,yet it only takes something like Sunday to destroy reputations etc.We have had some really tense and high stake games with Widnes over tthe last 10 years and I have been to most if not all and never saw any trouble,so hopefully this was a one off fuelled by way too much ale.

Quote: Brad Fittler Fan Club "Where are the coppers actually based during the game - Leigh police station? In both the Daily Mail videos it seems an absolute age before they come out onto the pitch and then they are just sauntering about like they are on a Sunday stroll!!
The Police unit who attended were most likely a Tactical Aid unit who could have been anywhere in the GMP area as these days because of costs The Police are not normally required to attend Rugby games, IF they were local officers they would have been called from all over the Wigan Division which in my experience is unlikely as there was probably only that number actually on duty throughout the whole division on a 'normal' Sunday afternoon, fortunately (or unfortunately depending on ones point of view) policing in England is not like some countries on the continent where the Police are a para-military group and live in barracks where they are easily deployed to trouble.

Assume the RFL will have to pick up the tab for this 'emergency policing'.
We have to hope this will encourage the RFL to go down the zero tolerance route.
Unfortunately the Widnes club and the thousands of genuine Widnes fans will have to bear any consequences (including the cost of any repairs to damage at the LSV) but we have to hope they will appreciate that if this type of hooliganism is allowed to fester and grow in our sport then there will ultimately be a heavy price to pay for all clubs. All genuine fans would of course prefer to see such hard earned cash being spent on developing their clubs and the sport.

The Watcher wrote:The Watcher recalls that Hillsborough was not caused by hooligans/football violence but by very poor policing by the South Yorkshire force, subsequently made worse by the lying of officers & the attempt to cover up its failings rather than own up to them.

The inquiry is now complete is it?

Yes, it is.
