HULL KINGSTON ROVERS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_44565.jpg



Quote: pie eater and proud of it "....... but after the antics of a lot of the Wire ' fans ' today, I hope they get smashed in the final, be it from Hudds or more than likely from Stains.

They have a serious element of violent hooligans. I wont call them animals as animals dont attack for no reason.

I witnessed one poor Wigan fan getting punched from behind by a thug for no reason when the Wigan fan wasnt even involved with him.

For the record the Wire ' fan '[size has a large tattoo of a cross on his left arm and is very overweight.[/size Someone must know this thug.'"

Sounds like Paaleaseena

Lets face it, every team has the problem of fans that drink and look for trouble. No one blames there team for starting stuff its always someone else. Some games bring it out more than others in people.

We have fans that are no angels either, at the game I was embarassed at a few of our older fans. Section D a couple rows up in the North Stand, 2 men both bald and a woman who was mouthing off to everyone behind thinking she was some superstar trying to get the crowd goin and then joining in with the other 2 men who were wanting to start a fight with Wire fans thinking it was clever pointing "outside now" etc..

No need for that. If there was trouble its a small minority, i have been to plenty of games with wire supporters and not seen any trouble from them, some of the nicest fans i have met, dont tar all supporters of a club with the same brush.

Quote: the original stevo "listen chum if any of our fans have stepped outta line i will personally jump on em and if you think you are superman bring it on there is no need what so ever it's a sport and you will know who i am and if you are dick wad then eff off you r not welcome'"


Firstly I am not your chum,

Secondly I don't think jumping on them will sort anything out, whats the point of responding to violence with violence. If that would work there would have been a full scale riot yesterday in response to bottles and punches being thrown by wire fans.

Thirdly I am not a man, I am a woman who actually had 5 children in our party yesterday aged between 5 and 14 who have no need to witness what they saw.

And lastly I have no idea what a dickwad is so can you please enlighten me, nor do I have any idea who you are, but I imagine the term dickwad may be applicable to you and I have no intention of effing off anywhere. I dunno about me not being welcome, but at least I don't go around posting drivel and threats on your board.

With the response you have made to a genuine post, I have no suprises by what happened just before full time yesterday in the west stand.

Bolton by birth, Irish by blood, LEYTHER by heart and soul!! [quote="BBC Sport":suio7kr3]30/04/06 "Some of W*gan's travelling fans headed towards the exit before it was even over.".................no change there then!![/quote:suio7kr3] [quote="Wembley71":suio7kr3].....They are our people. Drummond, Costello, Manfredi, Svabic, Martyn, Street, Tickle, Patel, Mossop, Horo, Bristow, Leuleui, Varley, Fleary, Rivett, Tabern, Doran, Woods, Donlan, Wilshire, Leaefa, Hansen, Sale, Murphy… these are all my people. As a Leyther, you’re one of us the moment you come here to wear the shirt. I don't care where you were born, what colour you are, what religion you are, what language you speak. You're one of us, part of our culture, writing our history as you create your own, and making us stronger for it....[/quote:suio7kr3]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10303.jpg



I take it that formal complaints will be forwarded to RFL/Police?

Obviously stuff that is alledged to have gone on outside the ground would be harder to prove, but bottle throwing, and the other incidents that occured inside the ground should all be covered by CCTV (or even the BBC cameras?) so should be a lot easier to highlight who the trouble-makers were!!

As a Leigh fan - in recent years we have not had that many games against the Wolves, so not many experiences to go off. We drew them at home in the cup last year, and there were no problems at all. In SL (2005), at the HJ the Leythers had a fantastic time (and nearly a shock result!!), and we were treated with nothing less than courtesy from all the Wire fans we encountered.
In the reverse fixture, the fans who turned up (in very large numbers.....best away support that season IIRC) were impeccably behaved. A gang of about 7/8 'pi$$ed-up ninjas' - none of whom were in Warrington colours - got in at the Home end, and proceeded to start mouthing off/obscene chanting/etc - they were quickly removed from the stand by the stewards, and escorted to the Warrington end.
After the game there was some trouble in Leigh town centre (windows put through in one pub IIRC - and eye-witness accounts claimed it was the same bunch of tools who had caused the bother at the ground. IMHO these were not Warrington Wolves fans - just gob$hytes - who saw the opportunity of a well attended game to cause bother!!

I cant post the pic due to copyright but a search on Gettyimages will find the album with 20 images in from the game and a very intresting one indeed, Looks like a guy is cracking a woman but cannot tell what team he is from, Surrounded by Wigan and Wire fans. Have a look

Strangely went to the game with my wife and kids and didn't see one single incident of abusive behaviour either verbal or physical.

Minor incidents involving a minority of supporters springs to mind.

Fans should be able to wind each other up in banter without the risk of a physical/abusive response.'"


Didn't you lot attack Leeds fans after losing the GF?

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg



Quote: AJR "Well can I just point out that in the North stand there were 2 of you delightful supporters offering out any Wire supporter that was interested. You have the same element, so do not come the "we are saints" rubbish. They shouls'"


They were sat on the front row on about the 30 metre line, both bald and in their forties.

As a Wigan fan I was ashamed of them. They spent half the game trying to "offer out" the Wire fans.

Idiots.

I run the Bowling Club next to the stadium and would just like to thank both sets of fans for the way they behaved in and around our club yesterday.

Both sets of fans mingling together without any problems, plenty of good natured banter and singing going on.

I would like to thank any of you that used our club for your patience while waiting to be served, as you can imagine we dont normally have that volume of customers, people had to wait ages for a pint yet nobody complained or kicked up a fuss.

A big thank you to the group of postmen from Wigan who stayed til around 7ish playing doms and singing, hope you enjoyed your day , apart from the result.

Thought I would mention it just to help counteract any mud-slinging going on.

Cheers, Ste

We always use the club.
You were superb in very a difficult situation. I'm assuming you were the man who told me that you were on duty until 2 a.m.

Great day, bad result, but thanks from all of us.
