If you've gone onto the Wigan Board over the last 2 or three seasons you will find some of the more obnoxious examples of your average RL fans, and that includes those whose idea of balanced discussion is simply to ban every different point of view. Meet a coachload of similar people outside a stadium and all your preconceived ideas about Wigan folk will simply be reinforced.

Conversley, I don't see the Brigganties as anything other than good. There is the potential to attract some nupties, but having a fairly high high profile at games would make them easier to spot, and be dealt with. There's a lot of time and effort gone into making the flags, and I think they should be applauded for bringing a bit of colour into the game.

I quite like "Congratulations on winning 5 Super League Titles in 8 years".

Yes you would, typical b0llocks about football stereotypes by a Rugby League fan, I spent half my day at Wembley last week with Cardiff supporters and had a right laugh, most pubs in London were all Liverpool and Cardiff mixed, kicking footballs around, drinking and generally having a good time. Take that "family game" chip off your shoulder.

The only place I've ever had any bother is at Headingley when I was randomly punched by a Leeds fan.

I can't say any one club is better than another. Obviously the clubs with larger fan bases are going to seem more intimidating.

I personally don't like going to Wigan, but that's only because of the stadium not the supporters. You will need a bigger specialised group to get any atmosphere in there!

Yeah but for his specific example of a fan of a rival club climbing aboard a supporters coach in football to direct them to the ground?

I travel with Leeds United quite a bit, and it gives me no pleasure to say that this simply would not happen in football.
