Un-be-liev-a-ble

Decent atmosphere in the away end, stayed to applaud the players off. Yeaman comes over to speak to someone at the front of the crowd and is initially blocked by a senior (and I say this because his high vis vest had 2 colours instead of one) steward blocks his way. He then lets Yeaman through the 20-strong cordon of stewards, but as he walks back gives Yeamo a shove for good measure. Then outside the ground there are Cheshire Police all riled up and shouting hysterically at fans of both sides to get off the road. Seriously? No hassle at all by either set of fans but if I didn't know better, I'd say the Stasi security team were hoping to incite something.

they always do... exact same happens when we (halifax) go down to play widnes

Similar scenes when Rovers went there as well IIRC.

Takes a brave man to shove Yeamo!

Same when we played Widnes in the cup. The stewards spoilt what was a good atmosphere.

You were all videoed from getting off the coach, through the game and back onto the coach. Any crimes committed will be followed up.



Seems a bit harsh to me.

Coppers on the concourse, too. Why?



I smiled and nodded and spoke in my 'posh' tone. They looked sheepish and smiled and nodded back. What else could they do? I'd be peed off if I lived in Widnes and was burgled tonight. Shameful waste of resources.

Maybe they were just checking how many wheels the bus had in case some scouse scally took a fancy to them

The over the top stewards at the cup match vs Widnes was the reason I didn't go tonight, by the sounds of it they were worse than last time. If they are going to be like this, I can't see many fans travelling to Widnes next season.

Thats right. Hurt them in the pocket. Hopefully fans of other teams will too. Widnes is a dump anyway.

They must have had "intelligence" that Hull City fans had travelled. That's the Leeds excuse for heavy handed stewarding.

In Widnes? I doubt it.
