For the hard of thinking !!!!!!

This is an appeal for information on the attack not a slanging match thread.

doesn't seem to be working though does it?

well please take the hint

Yeah and the Warrington fans who pushed and screamed in my 80 year old aunties face are scum, the warrington fans who punched a woman and set a wigan fans shirt on fire while he was still wearing it are scum and the wigan fan who punched the steward is scum. What is so wrong about me saying that? Its the truth, if you cant handle it love i suggest you stay off this board.

This is one price all clubs pay for being successful, the glory hunters coming out to play. Which of part of these glory hunters you get the ones who think its acceptable to punch stewards, throw insults at teams who have been through heartbreak over the last few years and just be general idiots.

You look at saints away and you could see from before the game that trouble was brewing, I mean wigan "fans" fighting between themselves at the back of the stand. I cant recall once over the last 7 years when I have been to the shed and I have seen fighting between our own fans. And no doubt this was the same group who attacked the steward, which is also shocking.

And then you get individuals against wakefield who say things like "take it in watene" and you begin to question who raises these people? Where have they learnt to be morons?

The club need to sort this out before true fans start staying away because of all the trouble. It may be one or two isolated incidents at the minute but these incidents begin to add up and make us as fans, who as shown over the last few years are one of the best bunches of fans around, look like trouble makers, which is untrue.

If we all join forces and show these idiots its unacceptable Im sure they won't bother coming again!

I don't think there is a rugby fan anywhere that will disagree with you. This small minority of people need kicking out of our game.

However, what I think Slim has taken issue with is that you personally have been on the Warrington board more than once and called all Warrington fans scum. When in fact it is just a very small minority. Exactly the same as at Wigan.

I'm sure you would take issue if you were labelled the same as the idiots causing trouble at Knowsley Road and Odsal.

That was a very good post overall but I think the above is absolutely spot on.

So far as I'm aware, Wigan fans have never had the reputation of causing trouble. That label once fit Wire fans, but they are as good as gold these days (at KR anyway). The only other fans in recent years that have caused bother at Saints has been Hull KR, and that was fighting among themselves. They are also the only other club so far as I know who have had a police escort.

It would be a shame if Wigan fans got the reputation of being trouble. I would hope that instead of laughing about what happened - whether or not KR is a dump and whether or not the steward was swearing - the majority of Wigan fans who are reasonable people and who want to enjoy their rugby league will get together to get rid of the idiotic element within your support base so that the problem is ended now rather than seeing it escalate and bring about significant consequences, for the club and the sport.

I have never done that.

We are trying to find and ban them. It is in hand.
We assume that these are the same people who caused trouble at the Bradford game, and at a couple of home games.
The club are aware of the situation.

I think we need to be careful here that we don’t create a division between supporters who feel they’ve followed the club through thick and thin and those who are turning up now for big away games. Phrases like ‘Glory hunters and bandwagon jumpers’ are out of order. I saw faces at Knowsley Road that I haven’t seen at Wigan games for a while. They aren’t new Wigan supporters. They’ve followed them for years but just haven’t been seen around that much recently. I think it’s great that they turn up for big games. So what if they are getting behind the club now because we are winning a few? To be frank, it’s more fun now following Wigan. We will naturally draw bigger support. Happy days I say. We’ve had one or two incidents now and some supporters are jumping up and down cracking on they have some sort of exclusive right to follow Wigan and sticking labels on other fans. I think it’s fantastic that our away support has grown massively. Yes, there are one or two idiots that need booting out but lets not alienate fellow Wigan fans who are deciding to return to the club or perhaps watch us for the first time by implying that they are somehow inferior supporters.

Yes you have. After the semi final last season and also after the subsequent game at your place.

But those arent the fans being criticised are they? Its the numptys causing trouble.

I dont understand the logic in combining the people you mention with the idiots who we need to get rid of.

Never have i said ALL wire fans are scum. The ones who screamed and pushed an 80 year old lady and the ones who pushed the stewards (at the top of the stand and he nearly fell down all those concrete steps) at the DW, i did yes. My Grandad supported Warrington and i have friends who support Warrington so you've clearly misread whatever i've said to what you want to see so you can start burning your torches
