| Guitar Warrior is clearly a bigger fan than the lot of you put together.
He looks like Phil Bailey you know.

27588.gif "Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.:27588.gif |

Your very quote there has shown your lack of knowledge of recent away experiences in the past few years. Rugby league fans love to promote that we don't have trouble like this. We may not have had a few years ago but I'd say since 2007/2008 I have encounter more thuggery at rugby away games than I have down King Street. I won't name particular clubs' fans but there are at least 3 that come to mind straight away were people I know have been subject to attacks both physically and to vehicles. Only this weekend, 2 coaches have been bricked. I'm sure they weren't part of a group like the brigantes. Just because they call themselves something and have flags doesn't necessarily make them more of a problem than other fans

Stobart stadium 2011 - St Helens v Wigan
Final whistle and approx 8 wigan fans start fighting between themselves, women included.
No problem there then... Must just be my Wife and daughter being silly for getting scared as it kicked off next to them.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

So that constitutes a "Problem in RL"... Jeez..
Looking at your posts, it strikes me you have set up this account just to have a whinge on this topic... Enjoy.

| Not to whinge. Just can't stand the one eyed view that is being spouted by some.
Long time reader who had enough of the rubbish you post, so took the time to respond.
Enjoy.

| That was obvious at the time, in fact as a family we love everything you guys try to achieve.
I was trying to point out that RL is not immune from fan violence, seen it too many times over too many years to sit back and let a post like that go unchallenged.

| We are all entitled to our views Smudger, but for the numbers of people who attend RL, i feel you are being harsh to say they there is a problem. The brick throwing at Hull on saturday were most probably people with no connection to the game, but of course we don't know for certain. The problem is with society at large, not RL.
We have all seen the occasional incidents at games, but its hardly rife.

And that would say far more about them than it would the Brigantes

| Hi all, I'm a Saints fan but I'm not here to criticise or add fuel to the debate - just to give a different perspective
I've not seen the video but I was at the ground when the group described on this thread arrived. I'd gone to pick up a DVD from another fan, that likes to get in early for the under 20s game, before I went back home to watch the Hull derby
The group could be heard from some distance away and came across the new bridge from town. In no way were they threatening, in fact the few people that were present were actually laughing at them as it was all good natured stuff. Most of them looked far too young to be taken seriously and they appeared to have taken style lessons from One Direction. If anyone was offended it would say more about them than this group
I'm not saying what they did was sensible but at most you could say it was provocative if done at the wrong time and in the wrong place. However they got to the ground very early and as a result there were hardly any fans (Wigan or Saints) around to even be provoked
To sum up they come across as silly, harmless kids trying to bring a bit of fun and atmosphere back into supporting the club they clearly love. They'll grow up and learn and in time will be able to laugh about how daft they were

| I loved the Brigantes when the came over to MS3CP for the friendly this year, They brought a good atmosphere into the RM stand which is always a very quiet place in comparison to the East. I think it's great what they're doing and wouldn't want them to stop - I think most of the comments slating them are envy. If they get any publicity they will attract people to RL, The only fear is that it's the wrong people to attract, which is quite possible. If any trouble is handled right it can be stamped out before it evolves into '80s football violence. I accept the irony, being a Rovers fans and posting about it being easy to stamp out trouble, I guess this in itself serves as a stark reminder that you don't need an Ultras firm to attract trouble.
Carry on Wigan, I've had the "Cherrrrryyyy annddd Whhhittteeeesss... Na Naa Naaa Naaan Naaanaaaaaaaaa" song in my head for a few weeks now.
