Whenever i've been to Knowsley Road there are usually a few saints fans in the away end...
Its RL its what we RL fans do...

last night i was sat in the north stand, and was surrounded by st helens fans, which at the start of the match was fine, but after 15 second and our first penalty i was being abused by some large lout behind me, his attitude was disgraceful and for me to feel worried in my own stadium about being hurt, as at one point he threatened to hurt me pyhsically. The man was around 39/40 and i am only 19, i said im not being abused in my own stadium and he said to me, just wait until you get outside then and see what i do to you.

i dont mind being surrounded by saints fans... or even being taunted as he would never have the cajones to do anything, my problem is, how is a team with so much success, followed by such bitter and twisted fans. never will i hate wigan as much as st helens for that very reason, and i really hate wigan! granted not all of them are like that, but a very large majority!

did you report that to a steward?

it was right at the end of the game mate, so i just laughed at him and walked away... wound him up much more than rising to the sad get!

Good on you, you should repeot to club though, just to avoid it happening again.,

i may actually do that, considering we were promised that there would be no saints fans near us other than those in the away end!

Get a grip. The incident is over and no harm is done.

Fair enough the fella in question was undoubtedly a bellend but a grass is just as bad.

B####cks!!!! The poster said that they felt physically threatened. The next spectator might be a 35 year old whos had one to many who decides to do something about it there and then causing other innocent fans to get caught up in the agro or (as in the case of my daughter) a 17 year old North Stand season ticket holder female who feel so threatened they end up leaving.

People are very quick to critise the club and the steards of not doing anything about this that or the other, BUT, if they aint told about it what are they meant to do.

Must admit , cant see how you could have been promised this. There is no mechanism that I am aware of for finding out what team a person who walks up to the ticket window and purchases a single or group of north stand tickets supports. As many said in the run up to the game, it was easier for a number of saints fans to acquire tickets from the HJ as they work in/around Warrington.

As regards your orginal issue..TELL THE CLUB ABOUT IT.

Yes,tell the club. It's not "grassing" it's reporting an incident so that the club can take action against trouble causers as and when they see fit. No one should be threatened or intimidated at an RL game,although you usually find that the tools doing the threatening are with a large group and want to make themselves look tough as some totally misguided act of bravado. Report them to stewards and let's see how tough they feel when they get ejected from the match and hopefully banned from the ground!

Well said. Perfection.

I thank you sir!

It was terrible and I'm having still having flashbacks. Shaven heads, beer guts, sloping foreheads, Borstal/home made tatoos, replica shirts from 1997, halitosis, body odour, unfathomable dialect, knock off trainers and the foulest, most debased, of language. The men were not much better either.

I doubt anyone cried to stewards or "reported incidents" to clubs two days later when rugby league was a REAL working class sport.

Snitches get stitches.
