A huge selection of Newcastle United fans accused of creating trouble before... - The Independent

A huge selection of Newcastle fans have already been accused of creating trouble before one of the Premier League's most controversial suits of the growing season actually knocked off. The supporters upset inexperienced matches being played near the absent end of Wigan Athletic's DW Stadium by working on the pitches, dropping their pants, tearing out the nets and wanting to separate the objectives by hanging on the crossbars, an area official said. They later boasted concerning the trouble they caused - including robbing a A65 match baseball - on social media sites. The Premier League sport on Sunday was won by the house part 2-1, but the result has been overshadowed by the fall-out from the handle on Newcastle's Massaido Haidara by Callum McManaman. The young Frenchman was stretchered off after the Wigan striker's concern, which has been widely condemned but won't be tried by the FA. Before the fit, 250-300 chaos was caused by Newcastle fans when they got off instructors and wandered across to look at Wigan Cosmos play AFC Leigh Centurions in the South Lancashire Counties League, a Cosmos spokesman said. "As the followers poured out of the coaches, which were perhaps not handled by the club or police officials, they proceeded to watch the game from the touchline," the standard claimed. "Some fans then chose to operate on to the area of play, dropping their pants, causing the game to be stopped. "The condition then magnified as a group around 250-300 Newcastle United supporters followed suit. "Although good-natured at first, the supporters then started initially to rip out corner banners as they ran over the pitches and also got the match ball. The ball never was never recovered by "we, although we did manage to retrieve the corner flags. "The so-called supporters then decided to charge to the message where Goose Green Reserves were entertaining Olympic AFC in another South Lancashire Counties installation. "They again began by ripping out their part flags. "The fans then charged into the goalmouth, leaping on to the goalposts in a try to snap the crossbar with the sheer numbers clambering on them. "They then started initially to split the nets from the articles, wanting to take them and bringing them. Our people helped to retrieve the nets. "After spending quite some time singing and hanging on the goalposts, the fans then went back over to our message although singing 'We are Newcastle United, we'll do what we want.'" The state stated more damage was done to nets and corner banners. "Once again I would prefer to stress that, inspite of the obvious scenes developing, no support was offered from the authorities," the club spokesman said. "This event was a very undesirable experience that lasted for over 40 minutes and with families, fathers, granddads and children all watching the games as well as some quite experienced people who were all left shaken." Cosmos place the cost of replacing the ball and the nets at A200 - a little amount for a League side but a lot of money for an inexperienced non-profit side, the spokesman said. He fact revelling inside, showing no signs of sorrow, is perhaps even more troubling and in added: "The fact that these same supporters took to Twitter and YouTube to provide about the event. "Not only have they charge my football team a whole lot of expense but they have shown an overall total disrespect to football itself." Pictures of Geordie fans hanging on posts and walking on the pitches appear on the Cosmos club web site. However a Wigan Cosmos club standard has also exposed to The Independent that several public spirited Newcastle fans have agreed to make contributions to displace the vandalised equipment. In a statement, Newcastle conceded the behaviour of the fans has been undesirable. "Newcastle United are extremely unhappy with the conduct of a group of its fans who have been involved in the vandalism of equipment belonging to Wigan Cosmos Soccer Club and pitch incursions in their sport against AFC Leigh Centurions on Sunday 17th March which caused the match to be ended. "Our going fans employ a good reputation, nevertheless the measures of a community at this juncture were totally unacceptable. "Football, at all degrees of the sport, deserves the same degree of respect whether it's performed in the Premier League or at the grassroots level. "We were sorry to discover that this South Lancashire Counties Premier Division sport was disrupted in this manner and we would encourage everyone who observed this incident to contact Greater Manchester Police."
