There are idiots who associate themselves with every club, both Leeds and Wigan included. Those idiots probably become more idiotic by 8pm on Saturday. Also, while they're not necessarily football fans, the football off-season and a glory semi-final may bring out a few who would more normally be at Elland Road and have that mentality.

I wouldn't be surprised if you get a decent response from Hetherington. No rugby league people are happy with stories like that and he knows as well as anyone what the game and its people are about.

Saw plenty of this going both ways tbh whilst sat on the coach waiting to leave the ground. It's pretty sad. I always think people who are walking past a coach full of people "goading" are nothing but cowards really, probably full in the knowledge that the doors are shut and they can do or say what they want.. Likewise we had some leeds fans on the coach next to us "goading", then an older woman then took offence when they started getting it back. although we all just laughed at her.

Had we won there'd no doubt be Leeds fans telling us how we were doing the exact same. It seem's to be creeping into the "game" more and more unfortunately. I'm quite happy to walk back to the coach win or lose and keep myself to myself, unfortunately there are plenty of drunk people out there who don't feel the same way.

I also saw many leeds/wigan fans getting along and having a good quiet chat and being gracious... although you never hear that mentioned.

It's been fun.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_44480.jpg



Every club, every set of fans, every game, it always happens somewhere, sometimes you see it sometimes you don't, it's only a small pocket of nobs, don't let it put you or your wife off going to games.

Quote: yickpie24 "My Mrs and I were walking back to the car, some poor Wigan fan on his own was copping a load of verbal from inebriated Leeds fans and foolishly tried to debate a few things, then surrounded by Leeds fans my Mrs and I and copped a load of abuse whilst minding our own business. 40-50 year old blokes hanging out of cars shouting “F****** get back to Wigan” and a big gang of young lads, inebriated making a beeline for me shouting “Tomkins is w******”, I’m not related to him funnily enough?!, even Leeds fans were saying “ignore them” stuff like that. My Mrs is new to Rugby League and it’s a sad day when I go to a game and get a load of verbal for wearing an opposition shirt, football mentality I’m afraid and makes Leeds fans look like thugs.

I'm under no illusion that there are elements of fans in every club like this but this was way over the top, I was on my own with my Mrs and it has left a poor taste in our mouths about Leeds fans and the sport today.

I will be writing to the RFL and Mr Hetherington on Monday to put my point across, if I get a response I will relay it on here.

P.s. Leeds totally derserved it today and we were not at the races.'"


How come Wigan fans start spouting this kind of stuff everytime they lose a big game,no matter who they've played?

You never hear it when they win an important game.

You do actually - when it happens. So what's your point?
