So something has obviously changed between what was originally said in our statement on Saturday and now because the full game is up to watch on the proper sport facebook page.
I'm confused, our statement definitely said that even a delayed showing was not allowed?
Perhaps Mick can provide some insight if he reads this?
Yes, there was but I'm not entirely sure what. Having not gone to the game (my son plays junior rugby on Sundays so it prevented me from making the trip up) I'm reliant on a family member's account of what they told me. This is a second hand account of what I have been told and is NOT my own personal account...
Supposedly, it was planned to be streamed right up to Friday when Blade Access sent a crane up to Workington in preparation for the stream. On arrival Workington claimed to have never agreed to this and denied the club permission, cue a lot of media slanging between chairman and supporters.
On the day of the game, I am told that Mick and John Keyes were initially refused access to the ground before being allowed in. Also the club video analysis team "lost" some kit which was being used for post game analysis (not sure if they got it back).
Inside the ground, in the stand it was suggested a long standing Bulls supporter was physically attacked (face clawed) by a Workington Town players mother.
My said relative also spoke with a member of the Workington Town club who said there had also been reports of fan trouble outside the ground (not sure what this would amount to).
All in all, usually the trip up to Cumbria is one that I would usually look forward to. However after what I'm hearing someone somewhere is playing some games and has decided to stir up some poop. Think its ended up costing Workington though as I don't think many bought food/drink etc from the ground.
Really is sad that it has come to this. I don't think AC helped matters by releasing the statement he did and Kear didn't look best pleased either. Think we should have took the moral high ground and kept mouths shut as it was bound to stoke a response.
Come on Mick... give us your side of the story!!!
