Club statement

Tonight we saw more fantastic support from our travelling Widnes fans who once again sang loud to get behind the team from start to finish despite the fact we were soundly beaten. Your support no doubt helped the team this evening in what was a difficult challenge.

The travelling support was typically strong as we have seen at every game so far this season, but the actions of individuals who entered the field after the final hooter has potentially caused serious implications for the club.

We would like to thank the majority of fans who travelled to Leigh and behaved well but will now be in dialogue with the RFL to understand if there will be any sanction to the club due to the actions of a very small minority. As a club we cannot condone such actions and will fully support any potential investigation.

We once again want to reiterate our gratitude for the support shown to us tonight.
