I was sat in the 'family stand' with my 4 year old daughter and had to put with a foul mouthed agressive idiot for 35 mins before he was ejected. Whilst being ejected he also decided to punch a steward and ended up being arrested. And this wasnt some drunken 20 year old it was a sober guy in his 50s.

I suppose im over reacting too?

No-one would defend an idiot like that. But to brandish ALL Barrow fans is over-reacting and frankly just ridiculous.

It was made to look far worse due to the fact that dozens of stewards headed off for that corner and in fact made the matter far worse than it should have been if dealt with competently. If they had still been 'in position' they might have stopped the girl getting on the pitch as well.

As for "is this what we want in superleague, no thanks!", there are FAR worse happenings every week in SL, with the likes of Warrington, Hull and yes Saints having been involved in much more digraceful scenes in recent years.

Please don't try and claim the morale high ground on this one. It just won't wash I'm afraid.

As SRC has already stated, we wont defend a tool like that & im sorry your 4yr old witnessed the things you have explained here.
But yes you are overreacting.
I have kids and when they have seen idiots out in public I explan to them that yes there are some very badly behaved adults out there and to keep well away from types like this, and bless there lucky stars that they dont come across them too often, its a good life lesson in general.

Enjoy your RL.

Perspective from a Fax fan to Leigh,

" Enjoyed the day at Leigh overall especially the Leigh East club before the game. A group of your 'supporters' stood in the North Stand towards the back to the right of the posts (as your looking towards the pitch) were a disgrace to your club. They consistently shouted racist comments towards Halifax players and shouted foul and abusive language at Halifax fans. At the end of the game they repeatedly spat on Halifax fans stood in front. Despite being warned by the stewards about their racist language close to half time they continued and the stewards then chose to ignore their behaviour despite it being in front of the steward box at the back of the stand. An official complaint has been made to both clubs/LSV and the local police. The stewards should have thrown out and banned the individuals concerned. A number of your supporters and the stewards have let your club down badly".

They have the brassneck to slam Barrow.

The likes of Warrington, Hull and Saints have a secure SL licence because of their success in recent years. My point was that when the RFL are next looking for two teams to occupy the bottom of super league for a couple of seasons the performance of the fans will play just as large a part as the performance of the players.

Personally, I hope you do get a SL licence. The bloodbath when you travel to Hull should be a laugh for the rest of us.

Barrow are real trouble makers.Kick them out of the championship.

Look ot the topic "No place in RL" on the Fax forum below

Thats Leigh, Fax & Widnes out of the Championship

Time to move on.

Am I missing something here? What have Fax and Widnes done?

The bald headed guy was most likely darling Dessie, the Barra chairman, this guy iswellknown for his rantings,come tothe TOWER Dessie ,you would be at home there .
