The East and West Stand's will continue to offer reserved seating, while the South Stand will be unreserved seating. The North Stand is for visiting supporters.
taken off clubs site for all those who continue to say there is no home or away end

if the above is true the Nortyh stand should not be closed for any game, as every club brings away support.

the north stand shouldn't be shut for any game but then no away end in any stadium should be shut

Jesus, wind your neck in. This is RL, not hooliganball.

Fans can sit where they like.

I think this post is a bit draconian in terms of the actual situation, as many of the previous posters have stated - in Rugby League we do NOT have official segregation at most matches.

Last night I alike a good number of Warrington fans were privileged enough to be in the West Stand Hospitality, and pre, during and post match there was nothing more than fantastic good-natured banter.

It's a shame that you are less willing to have a friendly interaction with opposition fans but many clubs (Warrington included) provide a number of seats for fans who do not wish to sit/stand behind the sticks.

Looking forward to a return to the DW already - Great Night.

I wish they were sat behind me because the Wigan fan who sits there does my head in.

Nothing wrong with mixing fans. If you want segregation, go and watch football.

Mummy duck is now thoroughly depressed. SHE was the one that was famous for losing five in a row........until the 2011 GF!!!!!:



Quote: wiggywigwig "I'm on about the away fans who get tanked up and start getting wound up and more and more irate its a recipe for trouble, if these so called fans are real fans they would be sat with their own supporters and that goes for our own fans at away games as well.'"


if that is the case then YOUR club has a responsibility to take care of the situation. If fans are causing problems due to alcohol etc then your club has the right to kick 'em out.

"21. THE CLUB MANAGEMENT RESERVES THE RIGHT FOR ITS SERVANTS, AGENTS AND POLICE TO REMOVE FROM THIS GROUND, ANY PERSON WHO DOES NOT COMPLY WITH ALL THESE RULES AND ANY/ALL REGULATIONS, OR COULD REASONABLY BE CONSTRUED AS CONSTITUTING A SOURCE 0F DANGER, NUISANCE OR ANNOYANCE TO ANY OTHER PERSON."

From your own clubs website and so important they put it in bold. Dont whinge at the fans who like a bit of banter/go with their mates who support the other team/ buy the tickets directly from your own club.......whinge at the club!

Quote: The Chair Maker "While you may not have enjoyed the behaviour of the fans. The ability to mix with supporters of different teams and engage in banter is one of the things i enjoy about RL.

Its something denied football fans and results in them being far more tribal and therefore violent.'"


For once, I find myself in total agreement with TCM. icon_eek.gif

There were a few Wire fans sat in front of me in the West and they were ok bar one of them who was a . He kept having a go at Wigan fans around him and he was intent on causing trouble from where i was looking. 90% of the away fans that sit in home ends are usually spot on and good for a laugh but theres always the exception. If what the OP said was true i.e they were singing anti Wigan songs and the like then clearly they were looking for a reaction which eventually will lead to it kicking off and therefore ruining it for everybody. I agree we need to keep the fans mixing because it is usually brilliant but when any away fans are baiting home fans in the home end thats where the line should be drawn imo.

I like it that opposition fans can mix. It's horrible at soccer matches. However, I'm still mad at the ref. I'm even still mad at the ref at the Leeds' cup tie.

totally agree with this. what with throwing things such as boxes of sweets at players on the pitch and the like, it really needs to be stopped

Home/away fans should be allowed to sit/stand where they like this is the problem when clubs move grounds.

fans should be able to sit anywhere in the ground. Wire beat us fair and square and they have every right to get drunk, celebrate and sing their songs like Wigan fans did at the HJ.

The problem will be if and its a big if any violence or threating behaviour happens i saw none on Friday

RL is a special sport famed for its fans and the ability for banter lets keep it that way
