One of our fans pushes a steward and we all become scum of rugby league.

To be honest, I've been to Wigan away a few times, but I stopped going after a 30+ year old fella 'kicked off' on me when I was only 16. Of course, it's just a one off incident, but after that, every Wigan fan I knew became the scum of rugby league

I thought the behaviour of a lot of Wire fans was very disapointing tonight. It seems we have attracted a large number of "glory hunters" already! How many of our so called fans actually watched the game tonight? I personally didn't enjoy tonight at all. To me the annual visit to Wigan is the highlight of the year. Sadly this wasn't the case this time. I am thinking it will be nice to get the Wembley trip out of the way so we can get back to supporting the team in the normal manner. What a sad way to feel after such a long wait! I hope the s aren't going to spoil our day out!

Was always going to happen. Salford were the same in fairness. Brought 1,500 for the cup tie then only 500 the week after.

I was there but I wasn't near any of this so can someone clear something up for me. I turned to acctually look at the conga as I saw it on the screen which was at the back of the North stand but when I turned round all the stewards we're racing up to near one of the tunnels/enterances.

What the hell

aidan johnson and if u want the true facts pm me and ill tell you tomorrow thats my name

I Was In The Dredded Conga And Didnt See Any Problems

Typical Killjoy Pies

From what It showed on Telly there was a number of Wire fans having a bit of fun, then stewards streaming up the stairs as though they were coppers in full riot gear,

Stewards at most grounds have a habit of getting involved in situations and making them far worse rather than letting them fizzle out.

In fairness to the stewards, I presume most of them are doubly employed by the Rugby and Football teams and have to put up with the chavball fans most weeks and, therefore, their handling of situations isn't what Rugby fans are used to.

i was on the tv doing the congo woot woot (the one wit the jesters hat)

lets hope we can do stuff like tht at wembley without getting told to sit down by stewards

I'd ban you for life tbh

you cant say much can you watching it on tv can you

That would be correct. The whole incident was a bit of both. Stewards went in a bit quick but you still can't condone the response of some Wire fans. One big fat bloke in particular who (unless you've another big agressive fat bloke) was at the heart of the trouble last week. I saw him smack a surrending Wigan fan on the jaw at Widnes.

In terms of the Conga I bet some wires fans probably think "arrrghh bloody killjoys it's health & safety gone mad" as well but I think younger supporters should be thankful how safe grounds are these days and why the health and safety aspect is so aggressive which all came about following the tragic hillsborough disaster in 1989 and more in particular the 1985 Valley Parade fire in which 55 fans literally burned to death after a small fire believed to have been caused by a disgarded cigarette engulfed a whole stand within about 2 minutes. I saw footage of that incident and trust me it mentally scarred me for life.

No, of course not. All taking and whatnot aside, alcohol + steep, wet stairs in that North Stand = recipe for disaster. If a Wire fan was to fall and cause serious damage to themselves, no doubt there would have been an uproar that Wigan didn't comply with Health and Safety regulations. Major court cases and possible closure of the Stadium could've followed.
