A small minority of parents who don't like their annoying, embarrassing children give them £20 and tell them to go to St Helens, watch the match, and stay over at a friends.

Nat Woods Jab said "My boyfriend has nieces and nephews from 5 to 10 years old who have never been to a rugby game but are desperate to come with us and I won't take them because of idiots like this. I've noticed it getting worse this year particularly for some reason, don't think there is anything that can be done about it though to be honest".

Why? I take my 2 sons aged 8 and 10 to home and away games and apart from the occasional idiot there is nothing to concern me taking them.I must admit I have noticed in the last 12 months specially at away games that there are a few more d!ckheads but most of these to me anyway seem to be gobby teenage girl's. Did chuckle when at Edinburgh a really annoying 19/20yr old girl warrington fan was put in her place by a woman in a Hull FC shirt. She spent the 1st half of Hulls game stood up in front of the woman and shouting to her mates a few rows back. Don't know exactly what was said but she didnt move a muscle for the 2nd half.

As stated further up - pointless posting it on here.

[i"Couldn't agree with you more. I went to Harlequins a couple of weeks ago and some of the Warrington fans there were an embarrassment. I'm in my 20s and like a drink and a laugh as much as the next person, but there is an ever growing element attached to the club that make me ashamed.
Swearing & chanting at away fans walking past them, lads grabbing girls as they walked past, and even one classy looking boiler flashing her boobs when there were young children around!"[/i

What surprises me are the number of "fans" who paid good money to go there, get in, then not actually watch/pay much attention to the game, but just want to eat/drink/chant/go in-out during the game etc.

More money than sense?
