No, it was Chris Bridge.

What happened before the footage to prompt such a response? Not that I am in any way condoning the actions of the steward, but action creates reaction.



From where I was stood, granted I was a good 80 yards away, it looked like the trouble was already going before this.



Again, I'm not excusing the behaviour, as a professional he should know better. I'm sure the club/agency will take action.

I couldnt care less how they get the scrotes out to be honest.. If nothing had have been done then all you hears is ."all the stewards do is poilce the yellow lines". As soon as someone gets themselves in a little trouble getting throw out then its "all the stewards are thugs". What people will be saying is they could do it with less force. ? but at the end of the day they are only human , but you have to be there in the moment before you can judge how you would react.

Wigan game - the smoke bomb at a Giants match was against Wigan not Wire.

Wire v hull at hudds

Wire fan let off a smoke can!

Rubber duckie is correct. In the semi final a smoke bomb was set off near the stairs.

I was on holiday and missed it. Sorry - wires crossed....

Personally i love the irony that a video obviously posted by a Widnes fan to "try and get the steward done" actually appears to show that the steward did not act incorrectly. It appears that every one of those "blows" were aimed at the arm of the spectator to force them to let go of either the barrier or his colleague.



As regards the opinion of the Warrington stewards, as said before there is nothing wrong with what they do and its usually the security firms which is "responsible" for the heavyhandedness. Then again, thats why they are there....to go in and deal with situations when force is required.



As for acting without police permission.......it is perfectly normal for police at sporting events to take their lead from the club stewards.

I was stood 3 steps down about 5m away.

I assure you, it wasn't his arm he was punching!

He quite obviously deserved it then !

I'm sure you were. Were you the one stood next to Gareth Hock?

Rubber duckie, please, either get a life, or speak sense, your choice
