    Never been to town on a Saturday afternoon then? You can't move in B&M et al for shoppers (some of whom aren't on benefit!) It would take wild horses to get me to LPL1 on a Saturday, no pleasure in fighting your way through throngs of window shoppers.

    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

    The photos were shown on BBC Northwest during the Breakfast show this morning.

    Pictures taken by their own phones? These people are clearly criminal masterminds

    Looks like a few 'selfies' from people stood on the pitch. Couldn't make it up

    Loved Nigel Wiskar's take on this in his excellent 13 Things blog.
