Not good enough and people need identifying, prosecuting and banning! This isn't the first time unfortunately.....

Utterly embarrased. That is all. I'll be doing what I can to identify the morons who have shamed us.

Shocking scene's, The guy in the white polo shirt who tried to push the steward into the crowd shouldn't be too hard to identify.

Truly deplorable. Both cas mascots physically assaulted. Including JT,my mate, who would not say boo to a goose. He's well liked among away fans, was chinned by one of your cretinous retards today. Responded by finding his mask, scooping a toddler up and receiving a massive cheer from the north stand. Your fans truly sickened me today. I felt our celebrations were cut short. Just getting in now. 2 sayings in life. He who laughs longest laughs loudest (left rob lapping it up an hour ago). And what goes around come around. (With a bit of luck a fair few henious human beings will be struck by lightening)

This is to widnes fans (not the cretins who decided to jump on the pitch because I doubt you watch R.L every week)just want to say I'm chuffed that 2 teams who played each other in a nl1 final contested for a challenge cup spot today who are "small town teams" actions of a few shouldn't tarnish the many, cas fan

Yesterdays post match scenes were deplorable BUT I want to thank those true Widnes fans who came and shook our hands and apologised for the morons. This is the true face and spirit of RL. Let's rid ourselves of the moronic few.

I can understand it (just about) from kids who are 16/17 but there's grown blokes over the age of 40 involved on the video I saw. That's just plain sad and you wonder if those types of morons will ever grow up?

We've had some issues with kids being idiots but it was sorted pretty quickly. It's unfair that the clubs name gets dragged through the mud by these dregs.

Chins up anyway and good luck in rooting out these idiots.

Sad thing is, the people who invaded the pitch probably won't see this anyway, the morons probably can't read.

Still furious at the idiots after a good sleep - set the club back massively and banned or not probably won't be at another game all season, leaving the true supporters to take the flack and mop up the mess.

The behaviour of those people yesterday left me more gutted than the result, absolute idiots.

There is (obviously) a element of our away support that drink too much and can't handle getting beat. That's the bones of it, however yesterday they took it to the next level. Hope they all get banned.

I didn't want Widnes in the final because of a healthy rivalry, now i'm just glad for the reputation of the game.

Personally i'd go for a small fine (as to not hurt signings for next year) and give you a years ban from the CC.
Hurts fans but there has to be some bitter pill to swallow.

Ive got to say after what happened at the end of yesterdays game was disgraceful and has no place in rugby league for that kind of behavour, but what is getting me is the fact they werent real widnes fans who did that and were all getting called for it. I hope they name and shame them and there banned for life.

I feel really sorry for the good fans of both clubs.
I attended with my 6 year old daughter and feel like we were cheated out of celebrating what should have been one of the highlights of following cas for the last 25+ years and in the same breath for genuine widnes fans. Every club, unfortunately, has it's morons and I can imagine how sick you must have felt to have the clubs name dragged through the mud and be associated with such idiots. Good luck in rooting out these unwanted buffoons.

Well done to the majority of true widnes fans. you were great never stopped singing and chanting during the second half, even though it looked a lost cause you still tried to lift your team. don't let the morons get you down you made the semis and looks like you will be in the play offs onwards and upwards.

For me, the worst aspect of the whole thing was that a couple of blokes took their kids on the pitch with them.

Said before the game whoever wins this one I hope they win the big one and I'll say it now, I hope you go all the way. You didn't deserve that, but don't let it bring what should be an extremely joyful time down.

Best of luck in the final!

There were an awful lot of people wearing Widnes shirts on the pitch though (or swinging them above their heads). It's unlikely they have decided the shell out £40 for a shirt to attend one game and cause trouble.
The "they are not Widnes fans" excuse is a bit lame when many clearly were, best to front up to the problem and deal with them.

Well we made all the national papers today.

Thanks Widnes

Thanks to about one hundred cretins who invaded the pitch yesterday Widnes have suspended recruitment plans for next season. This could be costly.

In fairness although it's not good for the game as a whole, it's terrible for the Widnes club. All reports I have seen have been very clear which set of supporters were to blame. This is from today's Daily Express:
"The game was marred by disgraceful scenes involving Widnes fans, who invaded the pitch and could easily have sparked a full-scale riot. It quickly descended into a sickening attempt to confront the majority of Castleford support behind the posts and one Widnes thug was seen aiming punches at the Tigers' mascot."
A case of reflecting more on the club involved rather than the game as a whole so far, and rightly so.

A few more videos around now;

Didn't notice at the time how good the Castleford players and coaching staff were calming the Cas fans, telling them to remain in the stands and putting themselves between the hooligans and Cas supporters - far more effective than the stewards were though I doubt many on the pitch would fancy getting past the likes of Justin Carney!

Bloody Hell let's be honest aren't the Widnes Fans used to getting beat at the Sports village by now cos it certainly isn't the first time is it.

The fans ran on the pitch after the Widnes try. The stewards of should of set the tone and come down heavy on them as it was plain to see what was going to happen for those watching on TV

As a wire fan I am gutted for the majority of true widnes fans which I have really enjoyed friendly banter with over the past few seasons.

I can see the RFL coming down very hard on you guys due to the negative attention it is now getting. I suspect a 3-4 ban from the challenge cup and a very heavy fine for the damage caused to both the stadium and coaches.

I see that your now assessing future signings which will impact heavily next season. Its a shame as I was really enjoying the new found close derby games which would only get better. I really hope these morons are identified and banned from entering a stadium for life.

Oh and to the poster above about the stewards being to blame - how many times are people going to blame others for their actions. When a steward did stick up for themselves at Wire V Widnes these muppets claimed he was being to over the top. Where do you draw the line? People have to take responsibility for their actions.

Jayne, I feel really sorry for the likes of yourself and your dad who are good Widnes and RL fans. But the thought that came to me yesterday was wondering how the family of Pat (can't remember her second name) who died recently must be feeling. That lady bled black and white and did so much for your club. They must be devastated that a gang of idiots brought shame on Widnes Vikings, the town and RL.

Name, shame and ban.
