Selective memory too, eh? There's a surprise.

If I could be bothered, I'd go looking for the posts made on this board by Cas fans threatening to give Wigan fans a few slaps on their fist visit after relegation. Not that any of you did, which is somehow even more pathetic.

You're a joke, and you know it.

The very fact that you're on here angrily defending Wire fans, who far and away have the worst rep in RL, indicates that you've still got a bug in your ass about Wigan. Grow up and get some self-respect.

Not a selective memory at all, you making stuff up (or being too stupid to know the differance between a chairman and an anouncer) has nothing to do with my memory. I can remember wigan fans threating to start fights as well not that any of them did. i wonder what your reaction to my first post would have been if i supported another club? Would you still have defended the poster for calling all wire fans scum. As for them having the worse reputation in the league thats rubbish and you know it, at least 3 clubs in the league have a worse reputation. The fact of the matter is that you made this about cas vs wigan i didnt, i posted that i didnt think that it was right to label all wire fans as scum who i supported and who the poster i replied to supported shouldnt have even been an issue, but it was made into one, if anything i expected other wigan fans to side with me, as what that poster said has no place in rl. You can put all this effort into slagging of cas but cant be bothered to say anything to a poster with an attitude that doesnt belong in rl, which says alot about you.

I have been to countless Wigan v Warrington matches and never witnessed anything like some of the things that have been mentioned on this thread. I think it is only wise to go on personal experiences rather than second or third hand anecdotal evidence which you don't know all the facts for (words and tone of voice can twist the connotations of what happened). Someone can tell you of seeing someone getting shoved over and omit (or not be aware) that the person getting shoved over had been taunting the person that shoved them.

I was sat in amongst the Warrington fans at Wembley in 1990 with my dad (part of an organised trip and we ended up with the tickets meant for the Wire fans on the trip). Wigan battered Warrington that day and their fans were nothing but good natured throughout.

It is the same scenario for fans of all clubs, the vast majority are good natured and will enjoy a bit of banter and that's it. However particularly for a big game like on Saturday you will get a few hangers on who don't normally go and people are drinking from early in the day. Lots of booze and warm weather are not a good mix and some people will get a bit daft or agressive. You get the same on any weekend in and around pubs.

To tar all people with the same brush just because they support the same club is harsh and a bit daft to be honest. If people feel the need to tell others about one person or a small group who abused them then fine but there is no need to extend your opinion of them to fit everyone that supports the same club.

This is entirely reasonable, but it's hilarious that some little squirt from Castleford (of all places!) comes on here with a holier-than-thou attitude and expects to be taken seriously.

It still stings doesn't it?

Castleford

Not to worry come 2012 they will be out on their and Widnes will be in. Bet they will wish they ground shared with Wakefield then!

Re Cas fans - Maurice dead, buring shirts on youtube, the violence at the jungle, really lads, go throw your stones elsewhere.

i remember all the abuse thrown at us from cas fans because the felt they had been cheated when infact if they had bothered to look properly at the table we would of still stayed in super league and they still would of been relegated....but thats the past and should stay there

as for calling ALL wire fans scum i think that is out of order and i feel it should be stopped....the person who said it is being an idiot...out of the crowd on saturday only a handful caused a bit of comotion andf from what i saw it was delt with quickly......

after the game a bloke came up to me and was agressive (im 5ft 4in and female) but was quite shocked when i told him where to go.....but i put that down to him being an idiot not the whole of the wire fans. at wigan we have afew idiots who think they are being clever shouting stuff then hiding behind the crowd...sadly that is the way some are.......to stop it we have to tell them when it happens we the mijority wont tollerate that behaviour at our wonderful game.......all fans from all clubs should do it them maybe the idiots will stay at home or go follow another spoty

and there lies the problem........alcohol.

its worse at G/F with the evening KO.

The solution Imo (and its drastic) would be to bring semi finals and finals of both G/F and CC forward to a noon kick off, and ban alcohol in the grounds, and let the ones who go for a booze up have one after the game when all the decent fans and families have gone home.

i predict by doing that there would be a great drop in attendances , which will strengthen my argument that some people use these events to have an all dayer and overdo it.

A noon kick off for the CC final would be a problem in terms of fans who want to go there for the day as most will be coming from up north.

I can see your point and in a way agree with it but you won't stop the people drinking before the game, and the majority of people can drink without going on to cause trouble so perhaps what would be better is more proactive policing/stewarding of the game with those who are causing problems being removed from the game and the surrounding areas leaving those who do care about the actual game to enjoy it.

well thats another solution.
they do it a footy matches, and its an offence to enter a football ground under the influence IIRC.........if youve had too many , you dont get in.

a visit to the surrounding pubs too, and confiscate tickets off anyone who looks to have had too much to drink.......then they can stay in the pub and leave the rest of us to watch the match in peace.

the noon KOs are (i believe) done at the insistance of the local police who decide what times games kick off , as they are the ones policing the games. Saturday night they are srtetched enough in Manc, so if there carries on being bother at G/F they might force the RL to move the KO to noon , like they do with selective Man u and City games.

Have we got a worse reputation than hull?

Well said, Elliegg!

Mmm debateable.

From a personal point of view yes. I have beem to plenty of Hull matches and found the Hull fans ( both teams) great to be around, no problems whatsoever!
