| I've put this on VT:
'First of all, I'm not justifying the minority of Wire fans' misbehaviour in any way. Like most Wire fans, we're all quite ashamed that those people climbing up were representing our club as supporters.
Nothing's quite black and white though (no reference to Hull!). My Dad has just returned from France after watching the game. He's 68 and always gives honest, trustworthy opinions of things. He was 30m away, but had a reasonable view of events unfolding, not the best, but nevertheless valid. He said that some of the Catalan fans in the VIP area had started to throw glass bottles and glasses at the Wire fans. One of these hit a kid and it went off from then.
There's no excuse for the scenes we saw, but without making excuses, some of you may understand why it kicked off. Its not black and white. Like most things, it takes two to tango (pardon the pun), and so far from reports from friends who went, the Catalan fans played more than a part to causing this. Also, Ben Pomeroy has been mentioned by a few- I won't say anymore!
That said, those fans climbing up should be identified and punished. It's genuinely an embarrassment to me as a Wire fan and most others who are descent, respecting to fans like most of you. I would like to think that most other fans have a nice experience with our fans, as I do with you if I have the pleasure to meet you in the pub before or after games. A few years back when we played Cats at Widnes in the cc semi-final, the whole stand of Wire fans stood up and clapped when the few Catalans fans made their arrival. Nice one to the previous Hudds poster as well- our friendship and respect certainly goes the other way.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll be safe as houses when we play each other. Just say boo to them and they'll soon f off. They're just just nob-ends who've watched Football Factory and think their hard. Pure embarrassing. Most of us Wire fans are descent. The ones who aren't are just pathetic Green Street wannabes and will run a mile, I've seen it before. Like those idiot England fans who raise their arms at opposition fans, only to run a mile when they get some back.
Anyhow, you're looking better as the season progresses. I think you'll have our number next game. By the way, two great signings in Hastings and Burgess for next year- looking good for you guys.

| Quote: Millikenised "Well said pal
I have been home and away this season watching my beloved warriors and away at Warrington and never once felt intimidated or threatened in any way and that was before and after the game whilst mingling with supporters from both clubs
I agree that every club will have a minority of amoeba brains and Wigan is no different as I saw at several matches where someone in the crowd thought it was acceptable to let off flares and one was even thrown onto the pitch at Castleford just behind the cas players
These are highly dangerous pyrotechnics and can burn up to 18000 degrees(the marine flares) so to throw them or even set them off in a close proximity crowd where there are young children present just beggars belief'"
I have 35 years of experiencing the warrington fans and although they are not as bad as they were that hooligan element is still active and always will be,also our supporters use smoke bombs and not flares,i once remember at the ZOO as wilderspool was called back in the day Henderson Gill and ellery Hanley being subjected to monkey chants and throwing bananas I'm not really sure what Dessie Drummond made of all this i once remember him going into the crowd at widnes over some racists and how he was criticised at the time by the idiots in charge of the RFL

| What i don't like about going to the Wigan games is that we (Wire) seem to attract young ,intoxicated people who tend to stand near the top of the stand & soak everyone else in beer. Perhaps matters at games are not helped by the cheap booze available to these cretins who don't know when they've had enough. Supermarkets & early opening pubs don't help matters when coupled with the demands of sky schedules for evening fixtures. At the semi final at Bolton there was a gang of idiots blocking the steps & concourse & setting smoke flares off under the stands.

| I actually feel sorry for the proper Wire fans, and I know a few of them who are good people. We always go into The Irish club on Orford Lane pre match and have always had a bit of good craic in there, never any problem. The morons are giving their club a bad name and need to be identified and weeded out.

The throwing of beer happens with most fan bases, the retards that need to be in a big group that need to show their emotions that are probably pent up from the last big game they went to.
