Honestly can't believe some of the stuff that's been wrote on here. Myself and Mrs. Optimist had a great day yesterday and as such would like to thank all concerned.
As for the supposed bad behaviour? We saw or heard nothing that we would not expect to hear at any other rugby league ground. In our opinion the Leigh supporters where fantastic and contributed towards a terrific atmosphere.
Me and Mrs.Optimist are big fans of rugby league and most other sports for that matter, as such we like to visit many events. However should we remain in the same division for next season you can rest assured that we will not be spending our money at Gateshead.

It's God help Gateshead when they get in SL and have to put up with certain supporters in that league! They will have something to complain about.

God help the Thunder fans if they can bother their ar5e and go and support the CCup Final this weekend when 20K Wire fans start singing banky banky banky banky Warrington or words to that effect

Is that not a form self mutilation??

Cant wait to see the one Gateshead Thunder fan get up and go find a Wembley steward!

You jest - it's way too far for any one of them to go

They don`t its usually the opposing fans............

Like the Wanderers now BS they sing it first takes the sting out of the opposition fans

I thought that

One lot giving it the Wa nky , the other lot with the Sheeep shagggers



We'll be able to spot the Gateshead fan , they'll be the one with the ear muffs on

Wonder were they wil send their kids this saturday

I didn't hear it.
