Spot on NK as usual

Its not West Ham v Millwall

I never witnessed trouble at the HJ in or around the game, so don't see much of a problem on Saturday.

There are idiots from both sets of supporters (particulary the large group of middle aged Wire supporters in the South stand who spend the majority of the game facing Wiganers and pointing & nodding to the exits to say ''me and you after the game'' and the 15 year old pre-pubescent Wiganers flicking the vee's back) but it's similar to Knowsley Road, people just keep theirselves to their theirselves. There isn't a hooligan group purposely going in the stand to cause a riot. Yes, there might be a few supporters who have had one too many and might have a verbal spat or a bit of handbags at the most, but all in all the vast majority are there to enjoy a good derby and will drown out a small minority of those who want to spoil it. There will be nothing going off or persisting that the stewards and a couple of Police officers can't handle.

I have been to the HJ plenty of times, as my firends are wire fans, I saw the incident last year which Hogan explained, the diffence with Warrington is that you have quite a few pubs close to the ground which you can't help but walk past when leaving the ground. People are spilling out onto the street from these pubs who haven't necessarily been to the game and are not proper rugby fans who are just looking for an excuse to kick off even if its just opposition fans singing their clubs songs! Sad I know.. but if you use your common sense you'll be fine. I go into the Kings Head(not the nicest of establishments) with my mates before and after each game at the HJ and Iv'e had no bother.

Not good idea i dont think, but Wire fans will all go on the edges as they have done in the past.

You are right about both sets of fans having idiots but it will be more Wire as we are at home, but hopefully the club will be fully prepared for this with Police and stewards which i fully expect.

Just remember its all about the 2 pinters.

I never have any trouble at games. I've been going to Wire away games for 10 years now and i've never experienced any sort of trouble. I tend to go drinking in the Goose in Leigh or the Legh Arms in Newton before getting the bus down to the ground. Unless you go looking for trouble you more than likely will find no trouble.

I can't see there being any trouble, Wigan fans have usually left and sat at home before the final whistle most of the time

Never seen any trouble in the ground at HJ but then again we have never won there! Now I think a Wigan win sat coupled with a few wire idiots beered up and it will be different. Lets face it Wire are happy winning their cup final but to lose it will be different!

How many have we sold?

We got 1,800 tickets and many Wigan fans have been buying from wire apparently.

Have u never been 2 hull? A few years back when they won the challenge cup the players we're parading the cup but alot of the hull fans ran out to start a fight with wire fans and after a home game a group of hull fans were waitin outside the south stand lookin for a fight altho I think they turned out to be hull city fans. Apart from this I've never seen any fighting so I dnt see the problem

Nah, our cup final was last august, when was yours.

Outside the Kings Head (opposite Central station) a couple of years ago i saw the worst violence ive ever seen at the rugby. Wiganers were walking passed the pub singing (it was after we'd stayed in a good 20 mins after the hooter), next minute the pub tipped out, instead of carrying on walking, a good 50 or so Wiganers decided to stop opposite the group of Wire fans and carry on singing but kind of squaring up to them. It was inevitable it was gunna kick off and it did. A few from each side scrapping in the road and one Wiganer got bottled. In my best Danny Dyer accent it was "proper nawwwttyyyy"!!

Must point out that these Warrington blokes might not have been rugby fans, they may have just been in the pub and fancied a fight. This was an isolated incident and i very much doubt there will be any bother on Saturday. I'm certainly not going with the mind-set that there will be trouble anyway.
