Don't see much wrong tbh. What's all the fuss about?

Odem leading the march of the plonkers, where was your little pipe?

and Fosters?

The youth of today eh?

Cant see the fuss tbh, whats more cringeworthy is a load of middle aged men moaning about it on a forum!

Not everyone who thinks it's stupid and asking for trouble is middle aged.

Spot on...im certainly not middle aged....the pied piper has just pm'd me trying to justify this and told me his age- im only slightly older than him, yet still have the maturity and intelligence to realise this is not the way to behave!

I love nothing more than going to games, having a skinful of beer, and singing songs both in the pub and on the ground, but I dont act like a Pill0ck when im doing it! Its just common sense and people who love our club not wanting us to be associated with this idiot element - It nothing to do with middle aged people condeming this.

As I said in my original post I think some of what the Brigantees have done have been brilliant and has really improved the match day experience, but things like this just make me cringe and also at the same time worry where its all heading.

This is not Wigan rugby and it is not rugby league!....Im proud to be associated with a sport and a team which in the substantial majority differentiates itself from many of the unsavoury elements society and other sports cannot....I do not want to see the club or game I love denigrate the way football has!

If these lads want to act like this then I would rather actually lose them as fans, and let them go and support latics where in all honesty they will be more likely to fit in.

Pied Piper - Ive Pm'd you back...I hope some of what ive said sinks in!

Asking for trouble? How exactly? I was in The George pub on Good Friday, full of wiganers. Then a group of st Helens fans come in singing 'Wigan rugby is full of ars*holes' I'm sure you know the rest of the words... I found this quite intimidating and it could have caused a full on riot. These people were in there 40s and 50s and should know better. Utter disgrace. Sorry no video evidence tho!

Save it for the stadium Odem... is basically what people are saying.

Think you've just destroyed your own argument! Its not about comparing to other fans.....as ive said above, I acknowlege saints and wire have acted very similarly to this element of the brigantees while walking too and from our ground through wigan and I think the same of them as I do of the actions of the lads on the video.

Its unwanted and has potential to cause trouble - not only that, as you point out, it also has potential to be offensive and intimidating"

If that same situation was to occur outside the Kings Head in Warrington i'm sure it would start some kicking off, there seems to be a few numpties in that pub.

Why not have a sing song and a craic with your mates outside the ground tho? Were there any arrests? Any violence? No! What's the problem? Their just having fun and being lads!

Pied Piper take note - the very same thing i pm'd him and one of my biggest concerns - If they behave like they did in that video when we play wire then unfortunately I cant see that game passing without incident

I know what you're saying Nogga, you're just having a laugh and if those people with the banner went with those intentions and other people weren't aggravated by it, great.

What you're not seeing is you can't control how people will react to it, you're POTENTIALLY causing a problem.
