50086_1357229109.jpg [b:33tg3xj5]Me:[/b:33tg3xj5] I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag.
[b:33tg3xj5]knockersbumpMKII:[/b:33tg3xj5] Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_50086.jpg |

Agreed. And before that, say this:
"Erm, can you not let any more smoke bombs off please mate? It's dangerous and makes us all look like complete Sam Tomkins'"

| Whilst bringing flares into the ground is obviously stupid and whoever did wants to have a word with themselves, then if a group of teenagers want to get drunk, chant inane rubbish and pay minimal attention to the game all in the name of following Warrington then so be it. I'm sure a fair few will grow out of it and turn into week-in week-out season ticket holding fans that are the life-blood on the club.
I'll guarantee that the majority of the people giving them stick are the (in my opinion) idiots who insist on singing the cringe-worthy "stand-up if you love Wires" and then ruin my view of the game because I do not wish to stand in a seated area. Well I think all of you should be banned and are ruining the game for real supporters like me who do not feel the need to stand-up to prove we're real Warrington fans. Though I guess I will just have to learn to live with these folks though (for as long as Warrington keep winning anyway) and acknowledge that other people enjoy the match experience in a different way that I do.

46584_1279360105.jpg Warrington RLFC: The Wire, NOT Warrington Wolves

| Anyone who would report somebody to the club over something as trivial as setting off a flare is a busy body grass of the highest order and has no place in a working class sport such as rugby league.
If you don't like it by all means give the lad in question a clip round the ear and tell him to pack it in. If you aren't in the vicinity at the time but find out later that it was someone you know by all means have a word and tell him it didn't go down well.
However, if you would actually make a phone call to the club to report him then I hope I never meet your Tory self in person.
Back when rugby league was a true symbol of it's working class communities rather than some self marketed "family game" fans stood together and most important stuck together. Thatcher would be proud of how things have changed.

No fishing in my post. I hate the whole "stand-up if you love Wires" thing. I have to put up with it or alternatively go somewhere where I know I won't be affected by it.
As I said the flare thing is stupid beyond belief but the rest of the rubbish that goes with these kids then there has to be a cases of "live and let live". As one of them says they go every home and away game which not a lot can say.

| Is it really that bad? Get some perspective.
Although just a tip here; face forward and you might just see a match going on.

I assume that you are only talking about drunk teenagers, the drum or kids spending more time on their mobiles, rather than the setting off of a smoke device in a crowded public area.

| I go to games with that group you mention. You call us immature etc. etc. but to be honest I think you need to look at yourselves posting on this forum at all hours complaining about our set of supporters. My view on the situation is that you have clearly expressed your distaste for us and therefore won't contribute anything to our match day experience, even if we were to sing 'old school' songs. I enjoy my away trips to watch the Wire and therefore will continue going about business as usual, having a few scoops and a bit of a laugh and a sing. I couldn't care less if you wanted to go and stand at the other end of the ground, that's your choice, I choose to have a few drinks and sing darts songs. We all pay our money right? Referring back to the smoke bomb though... I don't agree with the whole idea and will express my/everyone's views at our next secret Warrington Ultras meeting.

Are you being serious or what ? How about I stand next to you and let a flare off and see how you like it ? There's nothing wrong at all with someone contacting the club and letting them know the chav who let it off or don't you have a problem with troublemakers getting away with it ?

He'd be dead upset and cos his adidas star wars special edition trackie jacket & teflon coated M&S chinos would smell of smoke.
Honestly, i'm amazed this website hasn't imploded with paradoxial irony at Dropkick Murphy moaning about people moaning.

| It's a peculiar one this.
On the one hand there's nothing I hate more than the fans (i'd imagine) sit in the seven stars before the game sipping half a pint of "shagnasty's old rediculous" doing more moaning than victor Meldrew on the blob. Mumbling things like "bloody upstarts" and "back in MY day". there's two kinds of people inthis world - those that do things and those that do all except moan at people that do things. If a bunch of lads want to try to help create a good atmosphere at games than all power to you and i hope it works.
But,
what I saw at the Cas game was that at all. It was young kids, many of who had their backs to the game, text instead of watching and sing chants about darts and which mate is apparently stingy about handing round cigarettes. There's been a flare let off at the last two games and from the self-confessing posts on here it's someone from that lot. Now as funny as you may find yourselves, me and everyone else doesn;t get the in joke, and basically doesn't give a about getting the in joke.
Go and support our team, chant for our team, sing & clap for our team. It will become infectious, rather than daft , and having a go at other fans.
There's been comparisons between rugby and football fans on here. To me we're better as we (90% of the time) sing to support our team, where as soccer fans generally chant to slag off & aggravate the other team.. Supporters support, critics criticize.

In general really. They are just being teenagers, sure we have all done worse I know I have.
They are still supporters of the club, if people think they are going too far, self-police and tell them to wind their necks in. Simple.
