Yes, and within the next 10 years they'll be available in Ossett.

Dont want em unless they're 2 for 1, we're tight in Wakey

I think the fans of both Hull clubs are good, however seeing as though we are all lowlife scrotes who belong on the scummy underside of society Im going to say Wakefield fans are the best

Huddersfield.

Yeah, me and the other London fan!!

This one is the one I've seen a few times. There is a skull on the large horizontal barrier across the bottom of the picture and one to the left of the Brigantes banner towards the left. Perhaps these were binned when they rebranded?

Well done. Like I said, I couldn't find any, but then to be fair I didn't look too hard.

The real point, however, is that you don't really have a point. Those flags are only two out of dozens displaying with other imagery and phrases. What is it about a well designed skull image incorporated into a Wigan-themed rugby flag that you seem to find so inflammatory? I suspect rather you're just trolling again. Either way, you're trying to make an issue out of a moot point. Just a couple of flags being waved amongst many; neither inflammatory nor intimidating.

The ones that behave themselves, show respect to each other regardless of shirt your wearing and know something about the game. Every club has lots of them!

I didnt label every Wigan fan a trouble making brigante, so why do I need to be careful ?

because they will come and SORT YOU OUT.

because that's what the ultras do.....

You are celebrating the wrong mythological heroes and should change your name to CYCLOPS. You are so one eyed.

First you say show me a picture with a flag and a skull then when you are proved wrong say, " who cares anyway".

In itself the brigantes is not a problem but may well become one.
It may attract the chavvy element, it may become targeted for blame ( either fairly or unfairly) and it may encourage copycats and idiots from other teams.

Other Wigan fans also share these concerns

The great thing about RL fans has always been a lack of overt tribalism like you get in soccer. Copying some of the worst soccer fans in the world is not the way to go IMHO

It is a simple point , easily understood yet you ignore it.

apart from the mindless banging of a drum,ive still never heard the wigan brigantes at the DW so they cant be working that well in bringing atmosphere to the DW. but im sure they are good lads having a good time and as long as they dont cause bother then let em get on with their merry flag waving

Excellent, just what we need in a "family" game, I suggest you watch something with a round ball

Because just as virtually every poster on this thread is saying, experiencing trouble from one fan from a club does not make all fans from that club trouble-makers, experiencing trouble from a couple of people you are assuming were members of the Brigante group (though, knowing a couple, I find that very, VERY hard to believe), does not make all of them trouble-makers.

Casting unproven aspersions on the name and the group risks damaging the reputation of what is, for the third time, nothing more than a group looking to improve the atmosphere at games, and who have done a great job.

I said find me one because I couldn't - and I wasn't at home so not willing to spend ages ploughing through pictures. I never said they didn't exist, and I have no issue with them anyway!

You say it 'may well become' a problem, 'may attract the chavvy element', 'may' this, 'may' that...what you're actually saying it that the Brigantes movement is actually not a problem at all, but they need to be aware of their wider perception and the behaviour of any hangers-on...in case of what 'may' happen.

They are fully aware of that, and that's precisely why they dropped the 'Ultras' name, and why they have open discussions and make decisions around this issue. Yes, it's a simple point, and one neither I nor they chose to ignore. As for the flags - they're just flags, doesn't matter whether they have skulls, lions, phrases or frikking Care Bears in cherry & white - they're there to add colour and atmosphere and they do a great job. They're not threatening or inflammatory. Don't try and create a problem where one (as you acknowledge) doesn't actually exist.

Frankly, any group creating a display of dozens of loud, bright flags and banners in their team colours, and who are vociferous, enthusiastic and lead much of the singing, will inevitably be compared with some football groups. But as we know, RL fans and football fans are (for the overwhelmingly massive majority), a different breed so let's not label them as bad guys when they're really, truly, not.

You want a RL group copying the worst soccer fans in the world? - try the Warrington Casuals.
