Yeah but if they are skin heads from Warrington you best be on your best behaviour.

Crowd trouble... this is nothing! Did anybody see the highlights from Sky Sports News after River Plate got relegated in Argentina? Shocking scenes!

Iv always had good banter at Warrington and met a lot of very knowledgable fans, however, you cannot deny there are a group of grown men that insist on behaving like 16 year old chavs that stand slap bang in the middle of the away end, I wasn't having a go at Wire in general, just the minority I have spoken about, its no coincidence that every year we have trouble at Warrington and it seems other clubs do aswell after reading these forums for several years.

I wouldn't start trying to take the moral high ground if I were you. I remember last season that your fans were the only ones I've seen kettled down Knowsley Road, having tried to destroy our beloved dump of a ground and start fights.

Warrington fans had a bad rep back in the day but in my few years of going to Saints matches I've never seen them kettled. No matter how many of them have turned up. And they've been on the receiving end of regular cruelty at the hands of previous Saints teams so they probably had far greater justification than your lot did, since you won the match I mention.

Wire fans are only painted in a bad light by
Wigan and Hull FC fans, sometimes the odd Salford game

Everyone else seems to enjoy the trip to HJ and usually complement us on the good time they experience.

Oh no. Warrington fans used to cause endless trouble. But that was a couple of decades ago now.

No idea. I'm going on reports from the older generation! But Warrington fans stood out as having the worst reputation. These days, aside from the incident at KR with Wigan last season, I'd say Leeds fans are the worst.

Wigan fans were escorted down knowsley road because ONE idiot punched a steward and broke his jaw, that was the only "incident" that happened. If people were "starting fights" then why was there no arrests apart from the one plank that assualted the steward??

As iv said, Wire fans in general are good for banter and iv met loads that iv had a proper RL discussion with, the people I was targeting in my post, was the idiots that stand in the middle of the westterrace that more than likely was at the heart of this incident with the Saints fans the other night.

Only! Breaking a man's jaw is worse than anything which has gone on there since I've been going, by a long distance! On top of that, a group of your fans decided to try and wreck the joint in the away end. While it wasn't the nicest of places, it wasn't Wigan fans' place to wreck.

And then, on top of all that, you are Wiganers, which is reason enough in my view to kettle you all the way to Wigan.

I didnt say "only" as in "only punched a steward" did I?? I said ONE IDIOT. You can hardly brand us a "disgrace" because ONE idiot punched a steward. Nobody wrecked the joint at all, IIRC one peice of rusty aluminium fell off the back of the stand. Biggest exageration ever.

I heard the banging hon. I was there. I saw what your fans were doing. If they were caught they were going to be charged, just like the fan who broke the steward's jaw. Put those incidents together and (a) you have more trouble than we had at KR in years, and (b) you as a collective were going to be viewed by the police as potential trouble makers.

Like I said at the outset, you can't try to claim the moral high ground when it comes to fan behaviour, which is what you were trying to do with the Wire fan, simply because your own fans behave badly as well.
