CONVERTED TO THE FAITH.
Widnes never had a big fan base when they were the so called cup kings in the 70-80s
Must admit am not sure what the best penalty is for this. Big fine, ban from next years cup ??? There are plenty of pictures though which should be in the local papers and these individuals identified and banned
In saying that how responsible are the Widnes club for the actions of soem morons that may or may not be true fans. We have had plenty of idiots kicking off at times and some of the scenes at grand finals and LP have been pretty poor and discussed at length on here
RL has to clamp down hard on this though. The family game image is fast disappearing if not gone already and we dont need regular aggro as a feature of the game.
PR wise has been a disaster for Widnes and the game. Even Nicky Campbell raising it and random on 5 live this morning
Thank god it isnt a Widnes / Wire final !!!!!
Here's an interesting one, the rfl identify fifty or so offenders, set up a anonymous number. The rfl set a fine dependent on the numbers of offenders identified to the club
Sadly i fear even if the club produce a list of photos you'll be met with a wall of silence from the supporters to identify
Realistically, you might know someone by face, but unless you've a personal gripe, there's many who give the names over
The rfl love a good gimmick too
Liverpool echo has a page with a ton of photos of supporters they wish to identify. Some are poor quality, some are very good, seemingly taken with their own phones
The number of photos show how many were involved
Loved Nigel Wiskar's take on this in his excellent 13 Things blog.
