Pity they didn't see the moron who when hocky scored left the ground and threw his pint glasses into the wigan end hitting a little girl.A complaint was made to the police and hopefully they will get him on cctv.

Never ever been searched like that before going into a rugby ground. I've had stewards asking to have a quick look in bags etc which is fair enough but I was patted down as if I was a potential terrorist! The stewards outside the ground really did seem OTT, I understand there being a need for a police presence aswell but the amount of police officers around seemed like overkill.

I think I know the one you're talking about. He definitely looked like he was trying to goad some of our fans, couldn't quite believe what I was seeing. I managed to avoid being searched, but the last time I saw people being patted down like that was when the Queen came to officially open the new part of the MRI where I work. Maybe she was there and we just didn't realise

He was arrested and charged with drunk and disorderly.

There was good evidence that a section of the Ultras were intending to bring spray paint to put the S2 logo around the ground. Not sure where that came from but thats why the searches were done. A number of cans were found but the fans were allowed in. Nothing heavy handed about that. Throwing any object towards the pitch is against ground regs and he was ejected. Nothing heavy handed there either. They hoped ejecting the first to do it would deter the rest. That seemed to fail!

If people were found with paint cans, have their names been forwarded to our club for futher action?

the amount of stewards and police stood infront of the wigan end was provocative! its treating the fans like criminals before they have done anything and usually cause more trouble than it prevents. you can quite cleary see that there is a difference between stewarding and going over the top. could saints fans not cause fights and arguements by the sounds of it there was alot of nobs (not real saints fans) but still trying to cause trouble. i haven't heard of any real complaints about the wigan fans?

you mean when some of them was having a joke on here when the wigan top being burried under the pitch came out. its very hard to spray paint in a stadium with out being caught or reported i am sure the wigan fans would have reported the people spray painting if they was.

Maybe if some fans weren't stupid enough to rlwear scarves over their facesrl, there might be a less heavy-handed approach.

true scarves, hoddies and hats dont look good it has a very thug look.

Bigredwarrior stop making rubbish up. Nobody was found with spray paint, nobody had a spray can and nobody had any intentions of spray painting anything, it's people like you that make us look bad.

Show me this "evidence."

How did he sup his ale?

They look like d1cks, and i hope the grownups with them tell them so.

It was very windy and my face was getting cold, did you want my face to be cold when I had a perfectly good scarf to put around there? Stop making mountains out of mole hills.
