Surely you have to view it as antagonizing though? I seen alot in Chicago Rock in Wire last season, very loud and abusive. Luckily it was very quiet and just a few older fans and families in there. I guarantee there would be huge mither if that were to happen in Warrington town centre. I couldn't fight a cold and in no way shape or form a tough lad, I know a few in Warrington though and that would be met with terrible scenes. Imagine a group of Liverpool fans walking down Chester road doing that?

| They might not cause trouble Nogga, but the point is it antagonises others to react. Imagine doing that today or through Warrington and tell me the locals would see it as friendly banter. Can't account for how others perceive things and that type of behaviour is a ticking time bomb.

| My understanding is that the Brigantes original mission stadium or modus operandi was to improve the atmosphere at the DW. The flags and songs where there because the feeling was that it was not really home for the Rugby. The flags went a great way to flooding a predominantly blue stadium with a sea of Cherry and white.
I cant remember anything about marching round other town like the Shadwell army.

| unfortunately it portrays a bad image of the clubs fans. That may not have been the intention but it is the way it comes across. I know that if I was at an away match and walking to the ground and the home fans came walking down the street in that manner I would feel threatened and be looking to avoid them.
It is the wrong image to show for Wigan Rugby and rugby league in general.

What you're doing is making a fool of yourself, and our great club at the same time. So what if others do it? If they all started raping cattle, would you do that too? Grow up. It's embarrassing, and we [real Wigan fans] don't want to be associated with it.

But that is the point, we are rugby fans, we don't need police horses and escorts to and from the ground, we have a mutual respect for other clubs and thier supporters, we don't need segregating, we don't need alcohol bans on the terraces, please let's not follow football in that way. I like the work done by the brigadoons INSIDE the DW but let's leave it at that.

There might be a problem if the behaviour is deemed to be contravening section five of the public order act (1986).

[iThe group have been known to participate in, and often start, pro-Irish Republican Army and Irish Republican chants.
At a match against Dundee United in November 2010, there was serious disorder in the section occupied by the Green Brigade when a supporter was being ejected by stewards. Supporters charged at the security guards and one was left with a bloody lip after a coin was reportedly thrown.
In April 2011 at the Scottish Cup semi-final against Aberdeen police officers attempted to remove a supporter who had set off a flare inside the stadium. Police were unable to remove the supporter because other fans held onto him. Four supporters were later held by police in connection with the incident. More than 100 Green Brigade members walked out of the stadium in protest of the arrests.
At a match against Aberdeen in November 2010, the Green Brigade unfurled two banners with the words "Your deeds would shame all the devils in hell. Ireland Iraq Afghanistan. No bloodstained poppy on our hoops." This protest was against the placing of the remembrance poppy on Celtic's shirt for the 11 November 2010 match against St. Mirren.
In April 2011 some members of the Green Brigade were not sent season ticket renewal forms after the club threatened to disperse the group around other sections of the stadium.

They're a classy bunch.

| The Brigantes are laughable, they really are.
In a few years when they all grow up they'll look back and say "Did I really do that?"

dannywardle96 - the Green Brigade are IRA sympathisers who refuse to respect the minute's silence for Remembrance Day! There are lots of videos on the popular video sharing site showing them abusing the British Armed Forces who put their lives on the line on a daily basis to keep this, and other nations safe.
Wigan Warriors hold an Armed Forces Day at the DW each year to honour all the brave lads and lasses who serve our country - this year's is the Hull KR game on Friday 4th May.
What will these brave soldiers think of our great club and fans if they become aware of the fact that a minority are using the Green Brigade as a respectable way to behave. Anyone who has served in the Armed Forces, knows someone who has served in the Armed Forces or indeed any decent human being will be disgusted that you are using this vile, offensive group as inspiration for your behaviour!!!!
