There are pictures of the offenders, easily identified, Widnes do something about it, it was a disgrace, ban them all this should not be happening .

This isnt about banning its about locking them up, that was a riot - charge them with rioting

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

We have been at the LSV since 2009 and that is the first time I have ever seen that sort of stupid behaviour.

Most of them looked intoxicated to me. Widnes fans are a decent lot of fans and I am sure most of them were disgusted by those idiotic antics by about 100 fools.

I think there's enough CCTV and photos doing to social media rounds that most of the morons can be identified. Widnes have made a statement which says their recruitment programme will be put on hold till they find out how much this debacle is going to cost the club: www.widnesvikings.co.uk/article/ ... james-rule

Well done Widnes, but it would be a shame if their idiot followers cost the club a decent signing.

A small voice in the back of my mind is wondering if it was premeditated, let's be fair here - there is a proportion of Widnes fans who don't like us, and an excuse to trash our stadium may not be missed.

I hope Widnes do make examples of the idiots but how will it be policed? We don't have a Police intelligence unit at our games like football. The way the RFL and the councils will deal with it will be to put away fans in seperate parts of the ground which means more expense for the clubs so the ticket price will go up. This is the side of any sport I despise.

One question. Were the pictures shown live on the BBC?

Given the high profile nature of the match and the large number of miscreants on the pitch, the RFL should make an example of Widnes. Completely shocking stuff. What are the precedents for this type of thing...must be a long time since this happened on this scale.

BBC tried to keep it quiet and not mention it (which is the right thing for them to do) but it was obvious they were on the pitch and goading the Cas fans.

The mad thing about that was Peacock & Crabtree where praising the Widnes fans they had their backs to the field LOL..I feel really sorry for the Widnes Club they have made massive strides over the past few years and those idiots have ruined the clubs reputation big style

Well I for one think it is wrong to tar all of Widnes's fans with the same brush just because of some drunken numpties.

I have been watching RL since I was 7 years old and have to say that is the first time I have seen their "fans" behave like that.

Don't know why I posted fans. Those idiots on the field had daft smiles on their faces and I know proper fans would have been gutted to see their team lose in a semi final.

Lets leave it to the Widnes club to sort it.

Widnes have always had idiots, the last time they were at the LSV a Leigh fan was attacked, let's face it, their supporters just can't handle their ale or getting beaten.... Pity we didn't get them in the quarters.
All that said, I hope the RFL take rational approach to dealing with this incident, and punish the fans involved (including children from the footage I've seen), it is a criminal offence what they did, the sign they destroyed informed them of that... Treat them as criminals and remember the club can't vet every so called supporter
