After the few morons at the widnes game,why have the club stopped people leaving the ground via the western terrace ??? all that happens is the fans meet each other on Arthur street outside the ground ... if i wanted to be treat like a hooligan i would go to watch football...

This is a complete joke and has been since before the Widnes game.....

For as long as I can remember we have entered through the turnstiles where the away fans now come in.....gone and stood behind the sticks, then took the short walk back past the food outlet down the stairs and out of the exit and a short walk to where I have parked since Jesus was a lad......


We now can' walk down that way and have to go outta the top end and walk all the way round.....hardly fair on me old man who's in his 70's and not the best on his feet.....especially on crumbling terracing and those steps at the top end.....

We've been following Wakey for the best part of 25 years and have never.....and never will get involved in any trouble.......despite pleading with stewards on a couple of occasions for them to let us past for the short walk back to the car rather than being turned back to walk all the way round....it totally fell on deaf ears......surely common sense has to prevail in some circumstances.....!....especially with an old pensioner not the best on his feet.....

there was also a lad with his arm in a sling who had just had an op and was wanting to walk the twenty feet to that gate rather than push though the crowds at the north exit, he was prepared to wait till the Bulls fans had gone but not allowed. lots of angry folk about re this however in the stands and hospitality fans are mixed . The trouble makers have been banned but hear they are off to Warrington game !! Anyway they have been banned so lets get back to at least being able to exit by the best possible route....we are not all animals but are being treated as such

The young man with the sling used that exit after the terrace was cleared of baying blood thirsty bulls fans, even then they did try to stop him.

All it took was my offer for them either let us through or eject is through the nearest exit.

We are treated like second class citizens while away fans come and go as they please.

Unfortunately things change and this is not liked by a lot of people but you can't moan about your old man being in his 70's and unsteady on his feet then go and stand on crumbling terracing there are plenty of safe hard standing terracing he could stand on so may be some common sense could be used here.

Not sure they were football fans but my comment below relates to banning orders. As some of you know I'm married to a Hull FC fan so I was at Hull v Widnes at the KC on Friday night. Whilst Widnes did not bring a large travelling support (not surprising since I can't understand why so many clubs play on a Friday night) there were some familiar faces in the group.

With around 10 mins left in the first half a Widnes fan got up from his seat with a beer in his hand. He motioned to go to sit at the very front row of the north stand even though he'd previously sat near the top of the stand. Stewards queried his movement but clearly had no right to stop him. I could see trouble brewing.

This moron then sat at the front by himself for about 10 seconds. He then stood up and started giving hand signal abuse to both the East and West stands. When stewards went to query his actions he soon started lashing out and started fighting with the stewards. A few of his so called "mates" then came down to investigate (shall we say) what was going on.

Pretty ugly scenes and at least two people were forcefully ejected. I saw another two walk out pitch side with stewards accompanying them but I am unsure if this was voluntary or not.

The fact some familiar looking faces are present again and then involved with trouble makes you wonder what actions are clubs taking? The recent Wakefield update said that the Wakefield fans involved in the trouble have been banned indefinitely (quite rightly so). Other clubs have been notified (per the statement) so they should not gain entrance to away games.

Why are Widnes not doing anything??? Some of their fans are clearly not innocent in all of this and it upsets me as a rugby league fan to see two Widnes matches in close succession with fan trouble involved. Irrespective of who started it.


No smoke without fire. Anyone of ANY club who causes trouble should be banned from all grounds.
