I work with a Featherstone fan who saw some of the incidents on Post Office Road. While he couldn't say who or what started the fighting he did say it was in his words the "usual small group of our supporters" who were involved. He had seen them at away games in the past, Knows a couple of them by name and as one of them is in his mid 20's he said he should "start to grow up".
What he felt was even worse was fans being targeted as they attempted to drive away from the ground. An argument between a Featherstone fan on foot and a Widnes fan in a car resulted in the driver of the car having his glasses grabbed from his face and smashed on a nearby wall. That would be a tricky and dangerous journey home for that driver and other road users near him.
All clubs have their small group of numpties, mix that with too much beer and god knows what else and it leads to unsavoury incidents. You would think being able to attend matches again everybody would be thankful and would behave.
Sounds like the same group of idiots who spout some vile tweets on social media. That included some horrible stuff about the Fax fan who was left severely injured after the final in 2010.
Its not all Fev fans, but there is a small, nasty element which thinks it's can do what it wants. They need weeding out as these "instances" are becoming more common and it won't be long before it ends in more serious circumstances.
