To associate the evacuation of that stand with a fan laying in a coma and a dead person isn't quite right, imo.

It was more if it was an arson attack and putting things together. Have expressed my sympathies and best wishes for Terry Newton and the Halifax fan elsewhere aswell.

What’s your point?

They are associated by virtue of the fact that they are both potentially deadly criminal acts committed by - so-called - fans on the same day, at the same game and at the same stadium.

its touch and go with the halifax lad he had another op early hours of this morning and the staff at the hospital are keeping a eye on him 24/7 hope he pulls through

That's not great news. I'm sure we all hope for the best.

Keep us updated on how he is mate.I will keep my fingers crossed he pulls through. No need for a gang to go too far on a person.

having been on the fev bored on total rl his mate who has known him for 20 year has said that the next 24/48 hours are critical to whether he survives or not hope they catch who ever did this

The attack on the Halifax fan has made me feel sick this week, I hope whoever did it gets locked away for life, absolute scum of the earth.

I hope that he pulls through.

Are we assuming there was arson in the HJ now?

What a shameful act. Disgraceful. I hope whoever did it is caught.

'potentially'

No, not me, but John Turner, of Warrington’s blue watch.

Now being dubbed black Sunday www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2010/se ... wd-trouble Didn't realise there was trouble in the crowd as well.

What I can't stand sometimes is all the excuses about beer and police prescience sorry normal people don't act like that no matter what scenario! Really hope this guy pulls through and all offenders are prosecuted and we can all move on swiftly! No fan should ever have to endure what this poor chap is going through over a game!

The problem is some of us live in the REAL world, it is crazy to have all the buses from both teams parked next to each other in the same car park then let both fans out at the same time 8pm after a near 8 hour drinking binge, especially after a game like that, its a disaster in the waiting. Surely the sensible thing to do is different car parks or failing that keep the Halifax fans in the stand for 20 mins and let the fev buses leave, after all the Halifax fans would be celebrating with there players anyway. its all very well saying family game and we shouldnt need to, well im afraid family game my assss, iv been watching it 35 years and seen some right old tare ups and many involving widnes. Bit more organisation and sence and that lad would not be in hospital
