i have been going since the early 80's and always enjoy the banter but there is a difference between banter and physical threats


but yes was good to see every one point out the trouble makers in the wire end just hope the widnes end can point there fellow sh@t makers out

I was a few seats from one of the idiots who threw a bottle near the end of the game. He looked an idiot from the start as he only had a short sleeved top on. He was quickly pointed out by surrounding fans. The stewards initially didn't seem too bothered, but some middle aged supporters who looked like they could handle themselves told them that if they didn't chuck them out, they would do so themselves.

An ex wire player was also in the crowd difusing the situation.

We were in the sports bar for a couple of hours or so after the game, great friendly banter with the Widnes fans except one scummy family taking exception to me brushing past the father and trying to cause a scene- apparently they own the stadium bar! Only takes one or two, but on the whole RL fans do the sport proud.

Was it Des Drummond?

I was the middle age speccy (thanks for that!)

Could not believe it when the so called speccie threw the bottle, it missed Ratchfords head by inches!

As a club Warrington need to be smart and public here. They should obtain the CCTV from Widnes, identify the offender, name and ban him from the HJ. It will send the right message out to others who think they can behave badly and get away with it.

The in goal judge must have felt the breeze from one of the bottles, it passed so close to his head. I hate to even think about the potential consequences had it of hit. IMO the culprits should never be allowed into a rugby game again for the rest of their lives.

It does seem there is a small minority who shouldn't even be allowed to sniff the barmaids apron, never mind drink the stuff. Much as I prefer beer in bottles (over plastic glasses) it does seem that providing these idiots with a potentially dangerous missile is inevitably going to end up in the kind of scenes we witnessed (yet again) on Friday.

The number of times that people complain about culprits but dont do anything, it seems that we (as a group of fans) are learning that if people are "shopped" (to use the phrase that people always use as the grounds for not informing) they are dealt with. If people dont pass on information, it wont be dealt with. If they do, it may not necessarily be dealt with, but at least then its the clubs fault.

The stewarding of the Warrington fans looked like it was being done by stewards from the HJ and it looked like there were a couple of incidents in the East stand that were "dealt with".

Funniest post of the year. You can all go home now.

What happened to fans sticking together? Everyone's a grass these days...

Think about your post. If that bottle hit Ratch on the head/face what could we be looking at regarding his health? A cracked skull, fractured eye socket, broken nose the list goes on. Then we as fans & as a club would be without an important member of our team for a long period. So don't come everyone's a grass these days. I will say it on here for the record. Anyone who knows the identity of the person who threw the bottle needs to supply the club with that persons name in order for action to be taken. People will moan when the RFL ban alcohol at SL games due to incidents like this.

Are you having a laugh?

Sorry, but those are not fans. They are damaging the clubs reputation.

It's like fishing with dynamite, of course I'm not being serious.

I guess you were sat near top corner of north stand? this was my usual spec but have moved recently due to the increasing number of idiots gathering there. I have to say the wire fans on Friday were a credit to you club and town, obviously this fixture has a bit of history, my young daughter wanted to come so I took her and we sat in south stand. As usual your lot came in big numbers and I have to say the behaviour of the wire fans was a real credit to you all, we saw loads of wire fans in and around the ground and we had no worries at all about anything silly happening.
Good luck for the rest of the season.
