not all warrington fans are like that. yes you get the few s who have to much to drink and then cause fights, but you get that in every team! so how dare you say wire fans are the scum of rugby league?
last season when wigan lost at our ground, whilst walking out, 4 grown up men aged around 40+ chased a warrington fan who was about 19 outside the stadium near fun to be just because they didnt like the fact that they had lost!
i can quite simply re call a few other teams causing fights when they play at our ground like when a salford hit a police officer for no apparent reason then decided to shout to his mate to go and hit an innocent warrington fan who was walking past having a look what was going on just like every one else.
i hope everything is okay for the man and his wife who get hit today thou!

Facking scum bags. walking back to train station and loads of wire fans chased us lot. had a bit of a scuffle but nothing bad but after that i said to everyone u walk on and i will stay with the girls. but dont give a f**k where top of the league!!!!

I live on the Boulevard in Hull and Have been in all the local pubs on match days wearing my Wigan shirt and have never had an ounce of trouble. Nearly every day i walk round the area with a Wigan shirt or scarf on and still no problems. I have seen trouble at Leeds, Rovers, Warrington, Salford, Bradford (Valley Parade) but at the Wigan and Bradford game at Old Trafford, I left at half time due to Wigan 'fans' launching punches at each other by diving over inncocent bystanders, ripping up chairs. On fella even used me so he could keep his balance while he was randomly punching this bloke next to me who I had just been talking to. He had his wife and kids with him and the Stewards weren't bothered as long as it stayed in a small area. This small area included abouit 150 at least who were causing trouble, obviously small compared to the number of fans there but it seemed that a fair percentage in the area were quite happy to get involved.

The Kick off time was clearly an issue there and tonight, when people have full days of drinking and can't handle it they can easily turn. That day at Wigan was the first and last time my Sister in Law went to a game of Rugby League. So although this incident is shocking beyond belief, the majority of Warrington fans are decent people and the generalisations are unfair, we too have our SCUM.

Hi,
unfortunately i'm the one who got the smack in the nose. Not broken thank goodness but my eye is blackening and my head is pounding (thats why i'm sat on here at four in the morning!!!)

The police came straightaway as they saw the incident on the cctv but they told us they saw the bloke run off straightaway. We went in the police car to try and see but he has already gone.

To be fair he was a big bloke who had no colours on, came from under the bridge and I knew as soon as I saw him he was targetting craig (Hogan) and headbutted him, he then turned to me and smacked me clean on the nose (OUCH!!!)

I usually drive to the game so I never have the need to walk that way but apparently it was the same place there was trouble last year.

Don't like how all the wire fans are being branded and I bet he never went to the game. This wont stop me going but I do think they need a police presence near that pub just so you can get to the train station safely.

Did ur chris go dawn , hope you recover ok It was prob some no hoper from Longford or orford who did nt have ewt do with rugby

no thank god, there was me hannah, craig and scott. Luckily a few other wigan fans was just behind us to came to our rescue but then they got one of them on the floor and tried to set fire to his shirt!!! I didnt see much more after getting smacked because Scott took me away straightaway to see if my nose was bleeding. Never saw anything like it!

To tar all Wire fans with the same brush is a bit wide of the mark as there was a lot of young children there with their parents and I feel sorry for them, that said I fully understand what you mean...

Best wishes to both you and your girlfriend and that you make speedy recoveries

Hope the Police find the thugs that attacked you and they get what they truly deserve

Not an Hull fan by any chance are you!Pot,kettle black springs to mind.

Sorry to hear your news. As some have pointed out, they were probably not even Wire fans who went to the game. I hope the Police identify those involved and the Club give them a lifetime ban, with the courts giving out a banning order preventing them from going into the town during match days. We as fans / supporters need to back this to save not only the reputation of our club but for the future of Rugby League.

Sorry to hear about this,but dont assume all Wire fans are like this.To call us all thugs is abit of statement.When it was only a small group of trouble makers who caused this fight last night.

Craig & Dawn.. hope you're ok, heal soon & can put this horrible incident behind you. It's disgraceful & beyond defending. Hopefully you know enough of us through our meetings with the Riversiders to have a fair view of the majority of us.

I can understand the anger from the anger from the Wigan fans towards all wire supporters after reading this. Its' sad though that is happens at a fair few grounds these days.
