I was sat in the north west corner (Saints end) and they observed the silence. Unfortunately for Terry and Wigan RL the noise was coming from the Wigan end.

Congrtaulations on the win and the season as a whole

As a Salford Supporter watching the game, I have to say I was appaled and upset at the noise coming from the Wigan end during the silence.
For me it ruined a good game, with Wigan deserved winners.
There is no place in Rugby League for the idiots who dis respected the silence and Terry Newton and his family.

May I just point out if it was some F.C. fans they do not represent the majority of us,despite what people may think.The people involved are a disgrace,and show no respect.

Quote: AJ "Agreed, some very stupid people seem to follow Wigan. They dont understand the rules, never mind a minuts silence.'"


Quick to judge IMO. How close were you to the incident? I was less than 15m away. A group of non Wigan fans managed to get 2 - count 'em - Wigan fans to rise to the bait. 2 too many but not too big a deal. ATEOTD for a 71000 crowd at an evening KO it went better than I'd hoped.

Quote: Cronus "I can tell you for definite it was a gang of KR fans in army fancy dress who caused the disturbance during the silence. One lad in particular who was being a proper tit and kicked off when fans around hushed him. We saw them before walking over to OT and they were wrecked, but in good humour. It's a shame one or two let them down.

It was NOT Wigan or Saints fans, who were brilliant tonight.'"


A quote earlier said it was Hull FC fans and now Rovers. How can you tell who they supported unless rovers new away kit is an army outfit !!!!! As usual blame people from Hull. If it was then they should be ashamed but they are only a minority and 99% of Rugby fans from Hull are behaved but just curious how you knew?

i was in the north tier 1 row LL so quiote low down to the corner flag in the "wigan end" but lets remember this, jut because it was the "wigan end" it doesn't mean it was wiganers who made ALL the noise.

before the match i saw a bunch of fans (no idea what team they supported) in centurion / roman attire, obviously a bunch of lads out on the razz hoping to have a good day out, which is understandable.

from my seat i could hear quite clearly the noise and it was definitely from the are in the stand where these fans where as during the minutes silence and after the game had kicked off there was an abundance of stewards around them trying to calm them down and even trying to stop retailiation from a few wigan fans from what i could see - i know i was still quite a way away to be honest. but that bunch of roman fans whoever they were were definitely part of the disturbance and i can only assume the wigan fans in that stand kicked off because it was them who started it.

rightly so, the wigan fans should not have retaliated but whether the fans who did retaliate were drunk and mouthing off unnecessarily or even just passionate fans upset at the noise during the mintes silence it still shouldn't have happened.

more evidence to suggest silences are a thing of the past and maybe they should evolve into minutes applauses. sport evolves, so why can't the ways to show respect evolve. at least if there was idiots mouthing off during the applause no one would be able to hear it!

such a shame for terry, but i'm sure he was rolling his eyes just as much as the rest of us and shook it off once the game began. hope you enjoyed it fella icon_thumb.gif
