Where have i said anybody was the Bees Knees? Try rereading and not jumping to conclusions... Has any OFFICIAL complaint been made.. I'm not defending anyone, just asking, so don't jump down my throat...

I was at the game, and what I saw was a fire/smoke bomb/cracker been set off in the stand where most Wigan fans were sat, then some people fighting and then a load of steward rushing to the scene.

Not trolling just stating what I saw.

Personally I have never seen anything like that at a rugby match (seen plenty of stuff at Football matches but that's not the point).

These so called fans should not be allowed in if what they want to do is that as above, I feel sorry for the vast majority of Wigan Warrior fans who have to suffer these fools.

it started when 1 of the lads nr the drummer the ones with their hoods up/scarfes round their mouths decided to let a smoke bomb off .the people were i was sat ,told them they were out of order, they took exception to this and started throwing punches , thats when the stewards came and ushered them out. the sooner they stop trying to be pillocks the better, totally out of order

Yes it did happen, after Wigan failed to break our defence and we scored an interception most Wigan fans got up to leave, the 'ultra's' or whatever they choose to call themselves let a smoke bomb off which caused stewards to run to the scene, other fans who were leaving must have offered an opinion on this action , to which the 'ultras' decided to start throwing punches at other Wigan fans and stewards and generally acting like animals ....they were apparently causing trouble in fast food restaurants in town before the game upsetting families too and leaving silly little stickers all over.
I'm not going downt eh 'they are football or bugger off to football' route cos these lot are Wigan RL fans or they follow Wigan RL ...the fact is they want to be seen as a spin off of European hooligan firms and are starting to act liek them !

Not quite sure what I have said...

Care to explain?

They are just a bunch of c***s. I must admit I didn't see much of the incident as I was sat at the opposite end of the ground but these lot are a disgrace to our club. The original concept was excellent however this has swiftly changed!

Is that enough for you !

Is Odem still around with his Brigantes Avatar.? He was always quite happy to give it large to those who were exppressing doubts about the Ultras.

All the hassle a couple of years ago when some Wigan fans and some opposition fans said they were worried where the whole ULtras thing was going and did not think it was a good idea, hounded and abused on the boards and told to shut up. Yet it is coming back to bite people on the Arris. The whole get the atmosphere going, the flags the singing all great. Tying it up into an Ultras thing was never going to work, and now it is left up to Drunken kids is only going to cause hassle for decent Wigan RL fans.

No doubt a critical post like this will bring out the usual knee jerk reaction of my club right or wrong, your just a troll blah de blah. But it was my view 2 to 3 years ago and i feel it is still a reasonable view that unless the issue is stamped on quickly it will deteriorate.

Knew this would happen when they gave themselves a name like that. If theyd called themselves Wigan warriors supporters club or similar it'd have been ok probably but nope they had to do this. No need at all.

Not quite following you to be honest, still struggling to understand how you can make a statement like "Coventry Bear and 21 -12 are not on here saying the Ultras are the bees knees and everyone who criticises them have no idea what they are talking about" and come out with all the above guff which doesn't back up your original statement.

Also my comments on the Brigantes/Ultras has been dug up from a good couple of seasons ago, a lot has changed since then.

Clearly you haven't grown up though...

You're going to have to come up with some different quotes from Cov Bears to defend what you originally said about them.

I'll come up with some quotes...

"If I was to give constructive feedback (not a criticism) I would forget putting stickers all over the place as this is technically vandalism and gives the Brigantes group a bad rep. Through singing and putting on impressive displays at games, word will get around. Also add in the Youtube group, forum and website it all helps"

"I would also drop the cherry and white balaclava that someone is wearing because it looks intimidating and daft, also the Megaphone looks like you are protesting against something and isn't really needed"

I am in no way connected with the Brigantes/Ultras group and on a number of occasions have given suggestions to how they can improve to get away from the Ultra type perception that comes with this type of thing. I've given them credit where its due on improving the atmosphere at games and in no way ever condoned anything wrong that they have done.

Unnecessary statement from Durham Giant in the first place to be honest.

Brigantes an anagram for 'breasting'?

Its clearly dividing us , although most do seem to agree that this behaviour has to stop now. I like some of the things they've tried to do " The flags , some of the songs and the atmosphere they have tried to bring to games " I'm all for it.

Just one last thing on the subject for me. Brigantes keep dong the flags and songs for the team , but the silly behaviour stop it now lads for the benefit of all Wigan fans .

these idiots are nowt but a bunch of young idiots who cant take their beer,if they decide to kick off at cas or leeds they will find themselves getting owned just like they did at HKR last season
