Poor treatment of St.Judes by widnes? : Mon Mar 15, 2010 9:31 am  

In the league express mailbag section today one St.Judes fan in particular is particularly annoyed with how their club was treated post match by widnes last week. Apparently they went into the bar after the game expecting to mix with the widnes players and coaches,and to see the man of the match award. No one from widnes playing or coaching staff was present and the fan says "thanks for ruining our cup final." Pretty poor treatment of them if true it has to be said.

Thoughts?

To be honest the players never go into the bar area after the game.Probably expected St.judes to go home after the game, so i think they are just moaning over nothing to be honest.The culture has changed at the club and we want disciplined players who want a winning mentality.If the guys are unhappy then they should call the club or email to get a reason.Well i never see the players so i think big deal.

Some people just love to moan about anything. Pathetic attempt to discredit the club. They should go and cry to someone who gives a toss if it's upset them that much.

The players and officials of both teams usually go into the Bridge Suite after the game.

Sounds like the person complaining in League Express was in the Social Club.

I don't think since the days of the late GREAT Tony Chambers has the man of the match been presented to the lowlies in the social bar.
Don't often go in there too often these days but I'm sure this stopped during the Vaughn Dark Ages..

From the St Judes chairman; http://www.trustinwidnes.com/forum/inde ... 132.0.html You decide if St Judes were unhappy with their treatment. I thik Steve Fox is right. The disgruntled speccy may have got the wrong bar at The Stobart.

I hope this gets corrected in the next issue as it will make people think Widnes are a stuck up club etc. Sometimes the odd players venture into the social club but it has never been an 'official' thing since I have been going in there!

In amateur rugby league, players, fans and administrators all sit in the social club after the match. Poor sod didn't know what to expect.
