This is hardly surprising is it. Anyone that went anywhere near Wilderspool in 80s knows full well what Warrington supporters are like.

The only ground I stopped going to. Simply not worth it. Like going to the zoo.

The only time I was ever searched was going to watch saints at the HJ>

I don't and didn't have a problem with it; I just assumed they were looking for booze.
They were searching everyone who went in through those turnstiles where we were (East Stand).

Cheers.

I'm sure our accountants were gutted that they didn't get your couple of quid.

Seriously. What a load of old conkers about our reputation in the 80's

I was an ever present from '82 onwards, and witnessed trouble on a handful of occasions, and they tended to be against the Hull sides, or the Wids. Stains was just a run of the mill game, in those days

To paraphrase Alan Partridge we're 'scum, sub human scum'!

we created more havoc when we were away from wilderspool..maine road..away games at wigan,widnes,leigh and quite a few cup games widnes at wigan twice lancs cup finals john player finals,cup games on humberside.and feth away was always a bit tasty...i to only seen trouble on a handful of occasions at home

.....we ought to win "Club of the Year" for this season now.
Get in.

Have our chances of winning the Nobel Peace Prize also evaporated after recent 'incidents'?

Warrington stewards are the biggest goons IMO

Only 1 of them was a goon. Last year.

For what it's worth we have been to Warrington loads of times and always counted it as our favourite away game and never felt any sense of trouble.

I'll second that.
Don't ever recall any trouble at wilderspool either- even when the fans staged the sit-in that time it was relatively calm.

I also agree the wire stewards are goons. Bunch of miserable killjoys the lot of em.
-and what's that about stopping the players going to their family and friends in the crowd at the end of the game????? Lmao last season when ukuma ta'ai just pushed passed them -the look of panic on their faces!!

Can honestly say I've never seen any trouble involving Warrington fans at our stadium (bar the s with the smoke bombs). Only had a season ticket 8 years so couldn't really comment on Wilderspool.

The only time at any other ground I've had any bother was at Widnes in April this year which was a nightmare, a handful of our fans were idiots but quite a few Widnes fans were indiscriminate in who they vented their anger at on the way out. Wouldn't hesitate to take my kids to a game otherwise.

The only time I can think of it ever kicking off at the HJ involving Warrington fans was that Hull game, probably around 07/08? The one where all the Hull City fans came along because some of our lot had beat one of their lot up at Hull away one time.

I've been watching Wire since 1988 and I've seen some moronic behaviour at a few away grounds.. Most of these teams have fans coming on here to slag Wire off, always makes me chuckle how angelic they think they are..
