Is it the same firm as Widnes use? They're similar in terms of inflammatory behaviour.

no warrington use their own as far as i am aware

Yeah thats him, the jumped up little ****.

Warrington have their own safety stewards but use an external firm for "security" issues. They are not the same firm that Widnes use. Infact i think most of them are based in Wigan.

By all accounts Wigan fans said similar to you lot the other week.

Which club players?...was FC informed of this "EXCLUSION" zone and is it signposted on the concourses or terracing...i cant recall seeing any on my visits to you.As for stopping players handing boots out...Jamie Foster did this at the KC against Cas and stewards didnt intervene as no problem at all....seems like your club is becoming like your coach...arrogant.

What?...we played at Wigan 2 mths ago.

When Wigan played at the HJ.

Ahhh..sorry mate,mis-read it...seems to be a growing trend.

I wasn't at the match and didn't see the alleged incident but [iif[/i a Hull FC fan was assaulted by a steward/security man that's bad enough but for a player to be manhandled is absolutely intolerable and the club should report it to the RFL.

We read on here of fans of certain clubs slagging off the supporters of both Hull clubs but we seem to have a situation where stewards/security staff/bouncers (whatever you want to call them) of Widnes and now Warrington are treating paying customers (and our fans are customers of their employer) like criminals.

Both Hull clubs take more away supporters than most and if they don't want our business let's not give it to them. If there were 3,000 Hull fans at Warrington last night at £20 each that's gate receipts of £60,000. Let's stay away and hit them where it hurts unti they get the message.

Anyone who wants to register a complaint against the Warrington security guards can do so herehttp://www.warringtonwolves.org/contactusrl

I think at some games its actually called for by the RFL not Warrington themselves. All teams/players are informed. There wont be any signs on the concourses if its the teams that are told not to go to the fans. Even the Warrington players will only go to the actual touchline when thanking the south-stand fans and I have seen Warrington players stopped by the Warrington stewards from approaching the crowd.

As for it being the other way around, it a fan steps over the perimeter fencing then they are going onto the playing area which is actually a criminal offence at ANY ground. Clubs can be fined if this happens hence the need for stewarding (note..need for stewarding....not heavy handed stewarding).

I do know that there is an exclusion zone at Langtree Park also. This does not excuse the way the steward/bully boy went at Heremaia and the lad receiving the boots. Would be interesting to know if our lads were aware of the zone though. Just seems a shame that in our family sport the players aren't allowed anywhere near the fans anymore. The last thing we want is for them to be turned into prima donnas like footballers are.

At the HJ they have bouncers that masquerade as stewards, so 'naturally' they wade in and usually pick out someone who isn't likely to respond. An elderly Rovers fan got knocked over due to these tactics this year, it needs sorting because these 'stewards' are the worse in Super League, also the same occured when Wire hosted Wigan.
