At what point did I say it was all Wigan fans or everyone in the south stand?... I sit in the south stand myself...

I was sat quite near it and found the group very intimidating, heard someone shout that they had a firework then saw aload of smoke coming from nowhere. Ended up moving me and my son further down to the left, didn't want to be anywhere near them.

its the same group of people who got kicked out at saints on good friday and had to have the police come and speak to them at Magic.

The club must have good images of these idiots and need to do something about it before Wigan get a bad name and more importantly true fans start staying away!

No it wasn't.

Or they used I stand with them all the time...

Saw it all at half time. It was the same faces who have been banned before and definitely brigantes.

Nobody will tell me any different because I see the same faces all the time

Would you be happy to shoulder the blame if a Wigan fan threw a bottle in a rival supporters face just because you was also wearing a Wigan shirt, I very much doubt you would.

Just because you have seen the people in question frequenting that group does not mean they are the group, from what I saw it was the tag alongs again, who tried to carry on the group when the decent folk left and caused all sorts of problems and failed to deliver any atmosphere whatsoever.

There was decent lads in that group, no one is saying they're all bad. Just the minority who decided to bring pyro and 'ultra' behaviour into it is when it all went wrong!

Everyone has numpties. On a derby day or a final they are bound to turn up in numbers.

If there was 20 of them that's still less than 0.1% of the crowd that turned up.

If you google the amount of people with criminal records that can be as high as 30% on some searches, so us RL supporters are not that bad a bunch really.

See em, report em, ban em and hope the ban sticks, but no one is perfect.

Your right My point to the poster previous was that it wasn't the people who were involved in the original group. It was people that latched onto it and ruined it .

Its funny how when anything goes wrong these days people still attach the word "Brigantes" to it and yet the group doesn't exist anymore and about 90% of people who got involed in the group either sit in another stand now like myself or simply dont go watching Wigan. Idiots will turn out for big games unfortunately... thats sport.

You didn't but you referred to the Brigantes and it wasn't them either. That is exactly my point.

Speaking of the idiots that tagged onto the Brigantes, I've just realised one of them that got banned - "Martin Keating" is the internet-famous meme "U wot m8" https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=u+wot ... s&tbm=isch

I apologise. People who tagged onto the group then.

I have absolutely no idea what you are going on about, especially that first paragraph.

Some of the lads who were at the front of that incident on Friday were the same lads who have posed with a brigantes flag in a picture before. One in particular is one who has definitely been banned before.

That is my only point

Giving that group a name in the first place was the biggest mistake of all really. Started off suberb, attracted bell ends who seemed to take over it and then cause havoc
