THE Vikings have threatened to issue life bans to anyone found using childrens tickets to get into matches.

"We have evidence of adults gaining entrance to our home league matches using Junior Viking season tickets.

Any person caught abusing the discounted ticket scheme in this way will be banned from attending Vikings' matches at the Auto Quest and the season ticket will be confiscated. The club are reluctant to take such measures but will not hesitate to do so if necessary.

Misuse of a ticket in this way is not the action of a true fan and, in the long term, could even lead to the reduction or withdrawal of the huge discounts currently available to genuine school-age supporters."
