What’s your point?

They are associated by virtue of the fact that they are both potentially deadly criminal acts committed by - so-called - fans on the same day, at the same game and at the same stadium.



Are we assuming there was arson in the HJ now?

What a shameful act. Disgraceful. I hope whoever did it is caught.

Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back!

Oooh-to… Oooh-to-be… Oooh-to-be-a… WOOLY!

No, not me, but John Turner, of Warrington’s blue watch.


An investigation found the cause of the fire was deliberate.

John Turner, of Warrington’s blue watch, said: “The toilets were accessible to the general public at the time and due to the location and extent of the fire it would appear that it was lit from beneath the cubicle.

What I can't stand sometimes is all the excuses about beer and police prescience sorry normal people don't act like that no matter what scenario! Really hope this guy pulls through and all offenders are prosecuted and we can all move on swiftly! No fan should ever have to endure what this poor chap is going through over a game!

The problem is some of us live in the REAL world, it is crazy to have all the buses from both teams parked next to each other in the same car park then let both fans out at the same time 8pm after a near 8 hour drinking binge, especially after a game like that, its a disaster in the waiting. Surely the sensible thing to do is different car parks or failing that keep the Halifax fans in the stand for 20 mins and let the fev buses leave, after all the Halifax fans would be celebrating with there players anyway. its all very well saying family game and we shouldnt need to, well im afraid family game my assss, iv been watching it 35 years and seen some right old tare ups and many involving widnes. Bit more organisation and sence and that lad would not be in hospital

So the real world is someone fighting for their life after a rugby game? I'd hate to see your dreams mate!

The Fax fans were celebrating... Why didn't Rivers get off then if that's your point? The excuses for these things are ridiculous. As I have said elsewhere a few drunken pouts or the odd scrap between fans is one thing, but assault, fans waiting by coaches for opposition fans? That's 80s hooliganism mate what most thought was long gone and shouldn't need a police prescence for!

the only organisation that happend sunday night was the thugs who came with fev waiting behind for the halifax fans to walk down to the coaches and i said soon as we pulled up that was stupid having both sets of fans together and that trouble will happen after the game

No the real world is RL is not and never has been a family game, that is why certain segregation measures are needed
