During half time in the GF last night the police put a notce up on the big screen asking for information concerning a serious assault after or maybe before the Championship grand final. It was the first I have heard about this anyone else know anything?

It was after the GF...... a Fax fan is in Hospital and WAS on life support I got told after being assaulted after the game.

On his way back to the coach. Still in a coma

I posted a link last sunday from warrington guardian, I think it`s on the " who`s going to the real GF thread"

All on the Fax board too.

I hope he pulls through plus i know it doesn't make any difference to him and his family but i hope its not a rugby fan

Fev had a lot of ' day trippers ' there last week

Whoever it was should hang their head in shame, we don't need that associated with our game.

Jesus christ what the bloody hells going on. These idiots need to be found and fast. They should be banned from every, I mean every game of RL for life. I hope the person who is injured makes a full recovery and quickly.

Never mind being banned from rugby, they should be spending a considerable time at Her Majesty's Pleasure.

apparently there was a lot of bother around the ground

I was stood with my mates - and just in front of Starbug, Ian C Frank etc. There was many who were there on Sunday I cannot recall having seen before in my life!
There has been so much emotive sheite written about the incident on various fora I've been reluctant to respond. Fev has it's attached numpties - someone has got hurt. I saw and felt a lot of things that were very wrong (from both sets of fans) on Sunday but as it's a Fax lad who got hurt there is no reflection on any aspect of Fax fans behaviour, the societal tolerance, reasons etc - just total condemnation of Fev fans - i.e. we're all scum bags etc!!!
I will NOT stop watching Fev!! I will NEVER support any hooligan element and i WILL assist in any way possible to identify the aggressor that has left a man fighting for his life! But for me and the majority of Fev fans it's sickening to hear ourselves being branded this way and sickening to see a man beaten by someone allegedly following my team and indirectly associating me with that behaviour!
What I saw on Sunday - again from both sets - was antagonism, baiting, tribalism, goading, threatening etc! Those who have met me will know I am an objective soul NOT prone to exaggeration or misrepresentation. I try to offer a balanced view when possible. Some in the Fev crowd (decency forbids me calling tjhem fans) were a disgrace! But likewise, so were some from Fax - but it's only Fev fans attracting the criticism!!!

I had to get that off my chest! A little lengthy but therapeutic! "Leigh RLFC Councelling service"!!!!

RFF,
I sympathise with you and all the other decent Fev fans. Leigh have had enough problems in the past with a few idiots. Unfortunately then the whole of the Leigh fan base get blamed and shares the disgrace. You have had a fantastic season. Good luck for next season. Continue to enjoy your rugby. You and all other decent fans will always be welcome at Leigh, as I know we will be welcomed at Fev

You are quite right and I have said as much on the Fax board.

It is a sad reflection that in our league for important games' due to usually a small police presence' there are people who go along with (no actual interest in the on field game) an intent to cause trouble.

They are sad foolish individuals who are going nowhere. They are miserable moronic idiots with a poor shelf life.

89o no interest in what happens on the pitch and intent on causing trouble.

You are spot on mate, we met you, a really nice bloke, i also personally spoke to a lot of Fev fans on the day, young and old and found them all fine people, as you say you shouldn't tar every Fev fan with the same brush its just a few idiots that spoil it for the decent RL fans.

Hope to meet up again for a pint and a chat next season mate, take care.
