Quote: Weekend Warrior "I saw the young lad get thrown out before the game. He was in floods of tears and the stewarding did seem heavy handed. However, I did see him prior to this, stood up on the barriers leading your singing. The same lad also was walking to the ground with his face covered with a scarf.
I really do love the concept of the Brigantes but I do wonder why you are allowing such young lads to be part of your group. I personally find it very odd that you would arrange to meet up with lads of his age (he’s 15).
Someone complained about the till rolls on the Brigantes facebook page and they were slapped down, being told these aren’t illegal. If you want all fans to be part of this you need to empower them and listen to all their views.
I think it’s great the club are backing the Brigantes but I don’t think you lot are doing yourselves any favours, covering your faces. This is very intimidating, regardless of how you laugh it off. If I was walking to the DW with my wife and saw a group of Warrington or Saints fans doing this I would feel very uncomfortable and for me this goes against what Rugby League fans are about.
If you want to be a credible group, would like it to grow and gain recognition for your efforts of improving the atmosphere you really now need to start considering the way you are perceived to others. Not shout them down or blame stewards for a child being evicted. Like I said before, if you want 15 year old children in your group you need to have a duty of care and look after them, not one of you went with when he was evicted and just left him in his distressed state to catch the train. Luckily for him, his Grandad was there and gave him train fare money. A group who behaves like this is something I will not want to be a part of! His Grandad also thanked the Police officer involved for his assistance.'"
Be quiet..Cold days and wet rather= scarves being used for the fight thing..
And as for a 15 year old being part of the group..Or you saying we should only allow adults into the group sounds like youd rather have a group of bog fully grown men runing around looking like a hooligan group than have a young lad stand on a barrier singing a song and waving a flag
