I think after tonight there will be a few fans who may reply to this topic, walking away from the HJ tonight was one of the most awful experiences of my life, not just in rugby league but in my life.

Walking past the pub opposite central station (cannot remember the name) where about 20 Wigan fans, mixed sex and mix race before anyone says anything. We got marched away towards he town centre, about 10 Wire fans decided that they would make the situation heated. I foolishly decided to be peace maker between the rival fans only for one Wire fan to run at me and "stick the nut on me".

He didnt just stop at that, after head butting me he then carried on and punched my girlfriend in the face (looks like a broken nose) I have never ever been so shocked in my life, after trying to re gain my sences i pulled everyone away and attempted to head towards the train station.

The police are involved, the warrington club have admitted that they have a huge issue with fans causing problems.

This will be taken further, anyone who decided to hit a woman should expect what is coming.....I will report more after speaking to the police again in the morning.

I've cleared all the bickering and tit for tat argueing on this. Hopefully now people have had time to cool down it should stay sensible.

Any update on this Hogan/Yicker?

[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg



Hope your all feeling better sad when scumbags like this act this way it's rugby league not football

Well said. As terrible as what happened was and any true rugby league fan is appauled (Not to mention any normal human being), whether these idiots were wearing Warrington colours or not or went to the game or not, people cannot tar all Warrington fans with the same brush.

Warrington may have a larger element for trouble than other clubs (I wouldn't know), but apart from banning the people from the ground there is little more the club can do. This is a police issue.

I am sitting in warrington now talking to some of their fans and needless to say they are as appauled as we all are.

All the best Yicker and Hogan hope your recovering, don't let this small minority of B*astards get you down.

Was an awful sight! Said before the game the test would be if we beat them esp when they had been on the beer all day Sat saw the worst come true! The ones who started it were def wire fans! Then every scrote come out of the pubs! I know Wire fans will be on saying they are nothing to do with us but you cant say we took 30thousand fans to Wembly then when some of the extra cause trouble say they are nowt to do with Wire!
Im not tarring all wire fans with the same but it was a disgrace!
The only thing that makes it worse is that no police were situated outside such an obvious potential for trouble!!

I have had a call back from the Cheshire police after making a complaint on Saturday night about the lack of police presence in the obvious hotspot.

They explained that they review each game at the beginning of the year and look at previous years for guidance. As there hadn't been any trouble the last 2 years (which I disputed, I'm sure it was 2 years ago when the last incident happened in the same spot) then the didn't class it as a high risk game.

After this year's event they have ensured that certainly next year at least there will be a police presence outside said hotspot which I think is all we can ask for.

Forgot to mention he also said he'd be having a word with the licensee of the pub.

So when did "the warrington club admit that they have a huge issue with fans causing problems"? icon_confused.gif:

I'm appauled as a wire fan.

There shouldn't need to be a police presence at any game, its only sport for gods sake. Rugby league is usually free of this kind of behaviour but clearly not on this occasion.

Sad that it's my home town we are talking about, but nothing suprises me in here anymore to be honest.

The thread was locked before I had a chance to post so can I just say I hope you're both feeling a bit better and they get the guy who did it. Thanks for keeping us posted as this sort of thing affects ALL fans of ALL clubs.

Can I also add that you were gracious in your posts towards the genuine Warrington fans and that was good to see. Way too much 'tarring with the same brush' for my liking. The scrotes who did this are the lowest of the low, but it is no more to do with the genuine Wire fans than it would have been to do with me (or any other genuine Wigan fan) had a Wigan numpty carried out a similar attack.

reading this post does not surprize me,in fact it brings back memories of a match against warrington at central park over 30 yrs ago.a group of us went and part way through the match a full brick was thrown at us from a section of warrington fans.2 yrs ago my wife and i went to the pre season friendly at warrington and just happened to be sat amongst their fans,the abuse was disgraceful.ok all there fans are not like that but a hell of a lot are.

Truly terrible incident.

However im appalled at the title of this thread, please change it.

Until its proven otherwise then we must presume that the mindless berk who committed this appalling act is just a thug who frequents one of those boozers near central station. I think i remember reading that the culprit was in plain clothes and wore no rugby colours whatsoever.

All of the wire fans i have encountered would never dream of carrying out an unprovoked vicious attack like that. To label wire fans in a way that the thread title does is completely out of order and is as offensive as the act itself. I urge the moderators or admin team to amend the thread title asap.

Alll clubs have a knob element, unfortunately our club(Wire) has more than most. It isn't big or clever, even if their is banter involved it is still unacceptable. Hopefully the club can do something about this. Sorry to hear about your troubles. Our own fans get grief at times in he ground as well from the younger, chavier element.

As horrible and needless the violence was and I'm not condoning it in any way, shape or form, but these are not supporters of Warrington or part of the Rugby League family.

They are more likely to be mindless thugs who heard that Wigan were in town and decided to pop down hell bent on causing trouble.

If you refuse to come back to the HJ won't be a big loss to anyone but yourself. You enjoy going to watch the rugby so don't punish yourself by refusing to go back.

I apologise on behalf of all genuine Warrington fans but please don't tar people with the same bush.
