Are you sure it wasn't work men doing a little resurfacing?

| Maybe this is me being niave, but surely if someone knows who it is, can they not approach them and have a word??? If they continue to behave badly, get a steward on the case.
I agree that swearing isn't nice but everyone does it from time to time, but I certainly wouldn't agree with the statement, 'move with the times'

There were a least two bottles thrown both of which hit my brother, we reported these incidents after each bottle was thrown. I have to say the stewards are less than useless they should have stood among these t*****s to watch them. After the first incident i told one of the stewards to do something about it after about 10 mins he along with a lady steward went to the top of the stands for about 1 min. Obviously having no effect. as the second bottle was thrown after they returned to their safe place at the bottom of the ground. I have to say i'm very disappointed it spoiled what should have been a great night. When i pay good money to watch my team play i shoud'nt have to put up with this. I hope the Halifax board are going to take steps to prevent this happening again. We had alot of new supporters there on friday how many of them would be put of from returning because of these prats.

All joking aside, maybe not a citizens arrest, but if a few people confronted them and let them know its not acceptable, basically embarrass them infront of their friends, they would stop. Go straight for the biggest one, the loudest, the one which the rest just follow and front him up. Tell the Steward prior to doing this and if they do nothing, you are in your rights to sort it out. I've done this on a few occasions, home and away and it gets results.

| The crowd used to get involved in the scratchin shed. Any sign of trouble & the culprit would be shouted down or "larger" elements in the crowd would move close to put them off.

Thats not the point of the thread really.
For as long as the teams enter either side of the home terrace, we should use it as a chance to get at the opposing side as well as back our team. If Widnes, Batley or whoever have to leave the field to a chorus of Boos and shouts then so be it. Nowt wrong with that as long as certain boundarys arent crossed.

I thought the drinks bottle was thrown within the boundaries of the South Stand, by so called fax fans, towards Fax Fans. Nothing to do with the treatment given to the Widnes team as they left the field.
I am sure plenty of abuse was hurled at the Widnes players, not sure how offensive, probably just the usual, Duffy, Woldbore getting called fat etc etc. Nothing they haven't heard before, and they are having the last laugh as they are professional rugby players and we aren't.
I went to that corner, as Silverwood left the field to "Question" his 22mtr restart rule. He didn't appear to be interested and just smiled and walked past. Basically, heard it all before, and fair play to how he handle it.
Bottom line, the ref and opposition are fair game for a bit of post match questioning/banter. However, anyone throwing a bottle, plastic or otherwise, within a busy stand should be ejected from the ground.

Agree 100%
After the League Game vs Widnes Robert Hicks and one of the Linesmen came in the Southstand Lounge for a pint and had some banter and a chat with the fans.
ATEOTD Players in all sports recieve praise/abuse from the crowd and have to deal with it, Very few are bothered about it unless the abuse is coming from their own fans.

Was the same in Limoux a few years back with Colin Morris, he went into the clubhouse after that match, although he had more than just one pint!!

| We need to rectify this problem before it expands and circulates into a bigger problem.
The majority of stewards were in the North Stand or at the north end of the Skircoat Stand, which isn't really good enough. There were two stewards watching the South Stand . . . . and when there was a minor incident with a few individuals, the stewards watched them whilst they continued and did absolutely nothing to stop them!! What use is that?
Personally, I agree with others on tbis forum in that we need one/two stood in the more densely populated area of the South Stand, hopefully this should help!
A strong worded email to Geoff Butler?

I dont mind this. We have won 2 games in a fortnight against our nearest rivals, what would you expect them to say... "jolly goods show chaps"?
The players & the majority of the fans all showed Widnes & Widnes fans full respect.

I did say that the majority of fans showed respect, id never condone what the idiots say/do.
As for the tannoy... ive been to many a ground where the announcer says... great result... great try... great conversion... would you class this as not sporting? Its just the announcer getting the crowd behind the team, at no stage did he say Widnes were boring & lacked ideas in attack!
