| The choices are simple.
If you want to avoid your day being marred by drunks, bigots, boors, buffoons, the great unwashed etc... then do not purchase a ticket for any final to be among your fans, particularly behind the sticks. Instead, purchase a more expensive ticket around halfway among the neutrals and preferably months in advance to secure the better seats... this is what I have done for years. The other alternative is to not attend at all.

We have spoke before about this and I agree, sadly it didn't work out as well this year and we had some knobs sat amongst us in the RFL seats

If people are moronic enough to pay £31 to sit in a stadium and drink and not watch the game, they would be moronic enough to pay £61 to do the same.

| I can`t believe it`s taken this long to realise what finals have been like for the last 20 years .I always pay over the odds for tickets on the half way line .the tribal mentality is getting just like football,i go into most finals as a neutral half expecting a riot

i witnessed it all today. fighting,beer throwing the lot.
4 twentysomething leeds fans behind me spilt pint after pint, smoked, never stopped swearing from start to finish and generally were absolute pricks.
one other leeds fan was threatened when he had words and i had to step in and tell them in no uncertain words to behave or else.
its every big game you go to nowadays. internationals or finals and i've had enough.
speaking to people around me, not only leeds fans but mainly rhinos, and they felt the same.
decent people like to have a pint and watch the game but something needs to be done. at least at football its controlled. even if leeds get there next year i won't go. my grandson is nearly 2 and in time i would loved to have taken him to wembley but i wouldn't subject him to what is regularly taking place inside grounds'"
That's funny because I've been to 12 major finals to follow leeds and not once have i had a bad experience in terms of fan behaviour.
Maybe you should pick the more expensive seats?

You shouldn't.
But i read these type of posts every year after the finals and I've honestly never experienced anything like it. Maybe I'm lucky.

I must second this... me and my gf were sat in the top left corner on top tier at Wembley (looking down to where the Rhinos played to in second half) and there was about 6 or 7 who constantly spilt lager deliberate or not, our jumpers & coats were soaked at the end and they clearly couldn't handle their beer. So what the couple and there daughter thought sat next to us god only knows!! Ridiculous behaviour, more stewards were desperately needed.

| I was as close to real trouble as I've been at a final yesterday and it sickened me. Pure vermin causing trouble, fighting and throwing beer with young children sat around them. A few European police officers with batons and 10 minutes outside the ground would seem an appropriate punishment.

| I've not seen any instances of unpleasant fans for at least 11 years now.
Although watching a wheelchair riot would be pretty funny.

| I've registered on RLFans to let you (Leeds) know how well the fans I met were behaved.
Myself and two others, met two Leeds fans in the Crock of Gold pub and we got talking to them about Rugby League and the Grand Finals. We got on our way and exchanged handshakes with the couple and wished each other well.
We then grabbed some tins from an off licence and went to watch the world go by on Wembley Way as we do most years. We happened to stop next to three Leeds fans again. They were excellently behaved Again we exchanged handshakes and wished Leeds the best of luck.
Sadly, the same couldn't be said for the Wire fans. We had no trouble till after the game. We had no reason to hang around after the hooter and left. As we walked up the stairs we had one bloke in his 30's give us a mouthful before two more climbed from their seats and chanted "Shit Helens" at us as the Wire players were going barmy on the pitch. They seemed more interested in us than actually celebrating their success.
The fans we met from Leeds were fantastic and a credit to your club.
Best wishes for the season.
