well how very disapointing this all is, i do beleive we are meant to be the family game, well anybody reading this thread would think differently, me and my dad stood behind the goal in both halfs, and had a real good chat with this one particular haven fan. At the end of the game we shook hands and went on our way home, its a shame that everybody can not behave insuch a way. Did not see the incident after game as i was in the toilet, but what is wrong with a bit of friendly rival banter and having a laugh, yes we are all passionate but lets keep it sensible and good spirited, seems like there was contreversy both on and off the field.

Yes james i can back your story up i still cannot belive the stewards were encouraging the haven fans to go for it.

I for one will never give whitehaven the time of day if they are allowing thugs (sorry stewards) to control there stadium.The big tall bald guy was the worst of the two,he's the one that had a few words for you james when you asked him why he was wearing a hi viz vest.

As for the big guy in the wheelchair after the game we were making our way to the toilets when he drove his way into the queue shouting you bunch of (cheating barstewards) and other words i dont wish to repeat.i was glad to get back on the coach.

I seem to remember when I was a lad of twelve going to Whitehaven on Monks's coach there were 17 of us there that day, and we made it big in the Journal the following week because of the abuse we suffered from their fans I remember one middle aged woman referring to me and my two mates as scabby eyed fish. how strange is that well not very strange at all I suppose when you look around at some of the specimens they have for fans, it appears then that not much has changed in the last 55 years in that neck of the woods.

I think the writers of Life an Mars and Ashes to Ashes were inspired by the time warp that is Whitehaven

Ok I'll reword it. The Recreation Ground - the land that time forgot

Do they still throw stones at the moon in Whitehaven?

No, just at away fans and their transport! apparently

As usual the Leigh 'Cyber Mafia' are out in force.

You all seem to have fairly short memories. Im not saying our fans are angels but Leigh as a group of supporters have their fair share of idiots.

The Leigh fans who decided to sing going down, going down decided to stop and do so right at the exit to the ground - they weren't 'leaving the terraces' as one Leigh fan stated. The group concerened were looking for confrontation from the moment they arrived.


The saying those who live in glass houses comes to mind.

Oh do be quiet you big girls blouse.

Your fans were singing exactly the same last season, one of which was dressed in nothing more than an adult sized nappy. Under normal circumstances I would assume it was end of season fancy dress, but I'm not too sure now.

It happens, get over it.

Even without Stewards Training Dave it's basic people skills and basic respect which sadly seem to be lacking in this case .............very poor !
