| The Police escort back into town was comical. You'd think we had the reputation of the ICF. Riot Vans, video cameras, mounted Police and God knows how many bobbies. Turned a crowd of about 50 Wigan fans into about 300 by the time we'd reached the town centre as Wigan fans were actually turning around and walking back hundreds of yards to become part of the parade!

July? He seems to have done them every 6 months off memory?

I'm sorry but fans will always bang on the back of that stand when it's a derby because it's so packed. I went down the pee on the wall toilet after our first try and it was being well and truly bashed in. I'm amazed only 6 or 7 panels broke.'"
Well, you were the first fans I've heard do it.
I'm glad you find it funny. That's money Saints have to spend on repairs either directly or through resulting increased insurance premiums. It costs Saints enough just to keep the place standing.
It's not so good for the image of the sport when that kind of thing makes a national newspaper either IMO, even if it is just the Mirror's online rag.

| People always bang on the back of the stand at KR. Even the stains fans that stand in that end do it.
Was possibly done a little over zealously this time because of the occasion.

I'd like to know how you can speak for fans of other clubs, but there you go. All I know is that I've never heard it before.
I hope Saints claim compensation from Wigan given the increased costs the damage will bring.

We're the only fans who really pack the away end at Saints though. It was so packed last Friday, I couldn't even get under the roof at the back.

| Bradford did it when I went the cup game against them a few years ago and as I said the Saints fans that stand in that end v Wigan do it as well.

Totally wrong. Wire outdid you by a couple of thousand this season. They really [idid[/i pack it out. So much so, Saints fans crossing to the pop side had to go round the back of the Eddy End as it was too packed for people to walk through.
I can't remember when Wigan last packed out the Eddy End like Warrington did a few weeks back.

difference is saints sold their allocation for our game thus not allowing us to sell the same as wire, we brought as many as the shed allowed, remember it sold out 5 days before kick off.

No excuse. You could have bought tickets straight from Saints. A lot of Wire fans did that.
Wire behaved themselves as well.

If I were you I would change your bait, it isn't going to get any bites.
