Latics investigate brawl reports

Hardy has promised the "strongest possible action" after the alleged brawl during a club night out.The incident is said to have taken place during an informal 'meet the players' evening at Belle Vue Dog track on Tuesday 3 March.The off-field controversy comes at a crucial point in the Latics bid to earn promotion from League One this season, with John Sheridan's men having won just two of their last nine games.Hardy said: "The incidents that happened last Tuesday are certainly disturbing and the board of directors are conducting a full investigation."If anyone is found to have acted inappropriately thus bringing the club into disrepute, I would expect the strongest possible action would be taken and you can not discount sacking in this respect."The club will be making no further comment."
