How does this sound?
The top four rows of any stand should be advertised as an area where standing is allowed.
Anyone seen standing and being obviously the worse for drink or being abusive is told to sit down.
Use a three strike rule during the day with the drunk or abusive culprits.
No one likes having their day ruined either by stewards or idiot fans.

zero tolerance sounds better, sod this politically correct malarky, if it was a standing area there wouldnt be seats there, I bet if some drunken yob fell down them they would be all for sueing the LSV.

soz u lot the reason the people were ejected is because the stewards found knifes on them and that is a fact so lets not start havin a pop at the stewards for doin there job

Really????

Reckon your ill informed or lieing there......

NO knives where found....

Also heard a steward told Widnes fans they found 20 cans of larger in a bin bag under flags!

Well that was me mates bag and they asked me if they could look, found nothing and actually apoligised for any inconvinience! Yet for some reason 20mins later they were telling people the same bag was full of cans

Fair enough! Yea sorry getting confused (on other boards people just pick one line and moan!lol)! is a good sign! Haha.

'J20' raises a few good points there IMO, not just sticking up for him as he is WIdnes either. I recall a bin bag being mentioned by a handful of stewards, and to my knowledge (I could be wrong) it was searched and nothing incriminating was found, just flags and bits of newspaper? I think the major upset amongst the lads stood up came from the stewards chucking out a few people needlessly, 'just for being stood'. As youa ll saw there were at least 30 or so Widnes fans stood up, and to throw a handful out is hypocrisy in action. No one was being aggressive or inciting trouble, or necking cans as far as I can remember. As priorr to KO, a few lads were askesd to empty their can content into plastic pint glasses. Some people get that yellow uniform on and they start to think they are some kind 'dictator like' figure. Some of them can be like that at Widnes too.

As for the dullard who suggested Widnes carry knives, sort your head out mate this is the 21st century. We are rugby fans, not the 'ICF' or the chelsea headhunters

Well here,s my 4 penneth.

First a handful of fans in the South Stand who wanted to stand up and blocking no-ones view are getting a lot of flack. They weren,t foul mouthed they weren,t blocking anyone,s view, they weren,t putting anyone at risk. How many does the stand hold ? and even the stewards could see they weren,t bothering anyone apart from them.

Had the stand been at capacity, had they been violent and abusive, and had they been threatening anyone, I might have a different opinion but this thread is well over the top as far as I,m concerned.

Seems to me these fans deserve an apology.

It was the abuse they gave the stewards that was the main problem.....

Maybe your stewards were upset that the Widnes away kit made their spectators stand out more than your 'official' stewards jackets!!

You should try your hand at comedy mate.
