I've seen that before, not too long ago.

5 Wakey fans banned, i wonder what action the Widnes club have taken over recent events.

Feel for the Widnes fans here. Been here before as a Hull fan and it's just embarrassing and annoying that these kinds kept getting let back in.

At least someone from Widnes showed a bit of fight tonight.

credit to the fans who stayed to the end and were gracious enough to wish us luck at Wembley, judging by the threads on VT we will need it if wigan get handed penalties and tries on a plate from officials

Good luck for the final but you won't need it if you keep playing as well as you have recently.

Goodluck in the final and I was working so could not go the game.Betts needs to leave now.Sorry about a few idiots we are not all like that to be honest.

They were thrown out at half time and as punishment were thrown back in again.

To be fair the stewards done well to find the Widnes Fan. Shocking. Not what our sport needs.

It was great to see how both sets of fans behaved last week, in which Hull and Wire supporters were a credit to Rugby League but there is always a couple of idiots who rear their ugly heads and spoil it for the rest.

At what point in the match did those idiots kick off? I ask simply to see if there was any correlation between their moronic behaviour and Widnes' capitulation. Wasn't this quite a close game until deep into the first half?

When a similar situation occurred at a Wire/KR game last year (some complete doughnuts kicked off amongst themselves and the stewards had to intervene), I was close enough to the pitch to see the KR players faces visibly reacting with disgust, and plenty of head shaking, followed by a period when they were clearly not concentrating on the game.

I'm thinking maybe the stupid antics last weekend were enough to make some Widnes players think "what's the point?" ... unfair on the genuine fans, but with most SL teams being so well matched, it doesn't take much of a drop off in concentration for the opposition to run away with the game.

From what I've heard, one balloon who was bladdered went to remonstrate with the team after letting a daft try in (probably at the start or during our collapse) and was unhappy that 4 stewards followed him. Words were exchanged (most likely abusive from the idiot) and the rest is well documented.....

think it was after Jamie Shaul's second try, so around 30minute mark?

So, about 28-10 down .... I suppose the drop off in performance had already begun by then .... even if it did get take a turn for the worse after the break.
