It's a good job you did'nt watch RL in the 80's you'd have been scared to leave the house.

its a disgrace end off, i hope the people involved are banned

The common thread in this is booze. I like a pint at a game when I'm not driving, and I've been to every Grand Final but not sure I can remember any of them, and so I'm not being holier than thou about this. I just don't know how you get the balance right between letting people have a pint and allowing people to get out of control.

Maybe we ought to think about the football line and not allow alcohol in sight of the pitch if in the open air (just making Cats Bar stays open!). That would be a real shame, but if we are going to market ourselves as the family game, we can't allow people to get drunk and out of control at the game. If the people hadn't had the bottles with them on the terraces, there would have been nothing to throw and nothing to worry about. It would have been just lots of shouting.

And before anyone says anything, I know that would get rid of most of the beer places at Belle Vue, but I go there for the rugby, and could last eighty minutes without a pint.

I can see the club going down the route of banning beer in the ground again. It is a lot easier to punish everyone than to actualy investigate and find who the small minority of moron's were that threw these bottles.

So the only other thing to do is punish them and the people like myself that just enjoy a couple of beers whilst watching the game that would never dream of throwing anything or causing trouble.

this is not the 80's. some of you might still be living in that era, but the majority of us have moved on

Communist Cap

Including the majority of Wigan fans i might add who are defineltly still living in the 80s

totally agree with you mate. i was down there on saturday. didn't have any problems. got on with the cas fans ok. do you think having the 2 for 1 offer on the booze had anything to do with it.

probably so, you see there's always people who cant handle beer, they drink too much and the the brain disengages, i like a good old wet, but i dont even bother at games, whats the use of being pi$$ed out of your mind so that you cant comprehend whats going on ? why pay the entrance fee ? i really struggle to.... well i cant think what goes through their tiny pea brain minds

lol If theirs a town in the world that's still in the 80's it's Wigan.

Mr F

too right we are supposed to be a family sport, not what we need to promote the game or the club anyone seen doing this should be banned for life............and id suggest RW get that short arm in those deep pockets and get a cctv system sorted its not so expensive anymore in the big scheme of things. tight fisted moron will probably but one from Argooooooooooos

It would be very hard to enforce that rule though in a stadium like wheldon road or belle vue or knowsley road... any ground really where there is a standing section as its to easy to hid behind others out of view...

would be alot easier in a n all seater stadium with cctv and a decent set of stewwards.

(and that it not me having ago about whos getting a stadium first or any of that malakry lol)
