I've just got home.....



I admit I'm a little merry so please forgive my spelling etc...



The amount of times we, and others, were told to calm down when singing or objecting to ref decisions. Also many people being told to stop swearing...

We were threatened with being kicked out about five times for no reason...

We saw them filming the crowd and when the stewards got funny we asked them if they had consent to film us, legally.. They said, within the stadium you hold the same public rights as anyone and can take whatever photos they like... We started to take photos of the stewards and they told us to "stop taking f***ing photos" we simply, and tbh quite sarcastically, asked him to watch his own language and he just backed off and went to speak to his mate!!



We knew then they could do nothing and later 2 policemen came and agreed that it was ridiculous and noone was out to cause trouble!!



I've been twice now and it's been a terrible experience both times... Don't think I'll go again!!!

They don't have the right to just film you, in order for the police to film the EGT have to complete an in depth course on it and have to have certain authorities in place in order to do so!

Has anyone complained to the Widnes club, I am sure Mr O'Connor would be interested.

Re the police shouting at people to get out the road. At one point I had a fan who

I can only assume was very drunk run in front of my car and then try to 'catch' a moving car going the other way. I saw the police run to stop him and understandably so.



It's a shame adults need policing how to behave on a road but some obviously did last night!

I noticed the police around before going into the stadium and wondered at it because except when Warrington visited, we haven't really seen a police presence to speak of. Thought that was a bit OTT.



As for the lectures about swearing and stuff - it's ridiculous. We've been hounded endlessly every match via the tannoy for that and usually it leads to us in the East Stand (in our mature fashion) singing something with a swear word in it. Normally that is our 'Widnes is a hole' song.

Several times when i was there with Halifax and Dewsbury

FC Voices have written a letter on behalf of fans who contacted us regarding problems at the Challenge Cup Game. As our last meeting of 4th June we hadn't received a response.

The group we were with got told off about 5 times for all sorts of trivial things. It was the sane in the cup game, and completely unnecessary.

To be honest we never had any problems last night with the stewards or the police. I guess we have the knack of staying out of the way

Saw 1 kid arrested by police for banging on car roofs. only got yourself to blame son

Dont think too many widnes fans will be going to hull next year either..ive been many away games in superleague and championship and hull fans were by far the worst! Unprovoked attacks on our coaches..rocks thrown at people..fans ganging up on our fans..horrible people! I know there are decent fans too but my memories of hull are not good! Ok your ground is great but hull itself is a big hole!

I did'nt go last night mainly due to work commitments , but to be honest would have been a bit reluctant to have gone based on experience of challenge cup game,

I thought the police presence and over the top stewarding was a bit much on that day myself ! (can't remember last time I'd seen a police escort after a rugby match) ???
