How does this sound?
The top four rows of any stand should be advertised as an area where standing is allowed.
Anyone seen standing and being obviously the worse for drink or being abusive is told to sit down.
Use a three strike rule during the day with the drunk or abusive culprits.
No one likes having their day ruined either by stewards or idiot fans.

zero tolerance sounds better, sod this politically correct malarky, if it was a standing area there wouldnt be seats there, I bet if some drunken yob fell down them they would be all for sueing the LSV.

Also heard a steward told Widnes fans they found 20 cans of larger in a bin bag under flags!

Well that was me mates bag and they asked me if they could look, found nothing and actually apoligised for any inconvinience! Yet for some reason 20mins later they were telling people the same bag was full of cans

So wouldn't be suprised if some mentioned knives tbh! A 15yr old lad also got accused of assaulting a steward (needless to say this only happened once he was out of view of his mates!).

All happening after half time.. was a bit perculiar I must admit!

Some of the LSV staff were great though and were talking about rugby etc and so on! Others however thought they were dealing wth Millwall fans (repeatingly saying 'it's like this in all football grounds')!

Genuine question - to both sides:

Was this match segregated? If not, why do those Widnes fans that want to stand not buy tickets for the North Stand (terrace) were they would be allowed to stand up all game without a moments bother?

2nd Question - to Widnes fans:

If your 'hardcore' prefer to stand, why was the Stobart made all-seater? Why not a 'home' terrace? Were the people of Widnes not consulted over various options for the format of their new stadium, as the people of Leigh were? Does your multi-millionaire chairman not have enough clout with the council to do summat about it? They sorted out the re-branded seating quickly enough - how long would it take to rip a section of seating out, and put up a few crush barriers?

To 1 - a few fans asked this at the game (no was answer) plus we got allocated a stand so couldn't buy for anywhere else!

The main problem many had was fans were allowed to stand at the back for the 1st half yet for some reason 5mins inton 2nd (again after money hit the tills) 'the force' came over saying sit down or get out and even then it started with 'you've all got cans get out etc etc'!

2 - I'm not sure what happened but I still can't belive new grounds can be built NOT all seated after the events of 15th April 1989! Yes there may not be as many fans at Rugby compared to then, but it's not exactly making sure it doesn't happen again! For that reason I am glad stobart is all seater, plus also more attractive venue for internationals aswell! to rip seats out you'd need to restructure the whole stand and get a safety certificate re-issued now thatw ould take longer then a few paint tins!

And how illinformed are you? the stand was actually designed for all seats bu they were never put in as a poll was made and as a result of the fans voting, the stand was left for all standing, it is about two days work to put in seats as all the relevant holes etc ar in place, and as for a safety certificate do you really think the council wouldnt allocate one to a stadium they are part owners of? get real sonny -by the way the Halliwell Jones doesnt do to badly despite having a standng area, you really are a bad troll

Erm that was relating to comment saying Widnes having a terraced stand? I.e you'd have to take the seats out and then put relevant barries up etc. Not trolling when about widnes is it? Stop being a mug and have a read 1st eh!

Thanks anyway!
