| The main issue I have here is why anyone would want to drink in the moon. Weirdos...

| I'm confused. Was anyone actually negatively impacted upon last night by this training exercise? I was passed by some police horses and....well...erm...that was it. TBH getting up in arms about it looks like another shining example of the completely pointless Warriors/Latics rivalry.
As for the bloke who was refused entry to the Moon on a day when Latics are at home, why are you surprised, that kind of thing happens all over the place? I got refused entry to a pub in Oban, on a Wednesday afternoon for wearing a Wigan shirt. They had a simple rule, no colours. Ever. The fact it was a rugby league shirt made no odds what-so-ever.

Merseyside Police used them for years at Knowsley Road for some games notably against Hull F.C, Leeds and Dire.

And us, I seem to remember a massive police presence a few years back.

| I don't think latics are any more trouble than our fans i just think they're pre empting tension on Sunday due to the fact that the team that wins sends (or is it just probably sends?) the other down to the championship. I never hear of trouble at latics games but there is a good chance there may be at this one due to the importance of it. Think of how we have very little trouble then a little at wire maybe saints games then none again.

| having spoken to the police riders in the past(yes they have been presnt before!!!!) they stated that the horses ned to get use to a crowd and this can not be simulated in any way apart from getting them out into a crowd. They also said that there was only a very smalll possibility of trouble at RL games and therefore it was an excelant oppourtunity to train the horses. We should take this as a huge compliment to the family values that RL has generated and not Knock it.

Yes, not so much now they are in the premiership and police and intelligence have resulted in arrests and banning orders. Somebody who comes into my work was telling me they was in Blackpool when they went there the other week, loads of trouble with Wigan, Sheffield United, Barnsley and Blackpool in the tower lounge. Not in the papers though, as per usual.

If the sight of a police horse made anyone edgy at a Wigan/Quins match I suggest they'd be better off not setting foot outside their front door, locking all doors and windows to the house and probably not watching stuff like Crimewatch.
I remember Police Horses were a common sight at Wigan/Saints games. The Police used them to escort Wigan fans back to St Helens train station last year. There even used to be a police helicopter that hovered over the ground & surrounding streets on derby day in the 80's & 90's

I don't remember the horses making an appearance at Wigan matches but they might have done. I do remember them turning up for matches against Dire, Leeds and the Hull teams though.
