Widnes

[mart0042]

A few seasons ago when Widnes played us at the Jungle, I had the misfortune to be in the middle of a number of their fans when visiting the toilet. They were very vocal and aggressive telling me that Cas had no right to be in Super League because of our rap little ground and the sooner we went back down to the Championship the better. My next experience of them was before the 2014 Challenge cup semi when I tried to have a friendly chat with a few of them in a pub and again was met with abuse then the shameful antics at the final whistle.
Now I do realise that all teams have a few nutter “fans” and I’m sure that they have decent folk among their ranks too, but my experiences of Widnes fans doesn’t generate much sympathy from me and if we were in the same situation as they are I don’t think they’d be too bothered.

Spot on.
