As a Wire fan i am sorry for this and i am totally disgusted at it but i am not surprised i had a similar incident and I'm a warrington fan for god sake, there was a group of chavs who where desperately trying to get a reaction out of us and the stupid thing was they had wire shirts on , i think we are seeing that having the stadium so close to the town centre is not helping things, because there are plenty of people who are looking for fights but don't go the game, this people will go drinking all day and then be raring for a fight, which i don't see why they would want to.

i don't think punishing the club would do anything because there is a good chance that these people properly don't attend the game, this is a matter for the police and i for one hope they find the people who did it and serve them a correct punishment.

But think about it say there is 2 - 3 people fighting, then a group of wire fans try and stop them, am sure this will be taken out of context and then more people will join in, thus creating a much larger problem, i think the only and best way to solve it is increase the police presence down to the station and on the platforms.

I totally agree about increasing the police presence, it is not the first time it has happened near Warrington Central.

What an absoloute scumbag i hope he gets his comeuppance the dirty rat.

Having said that lets not generalise because not all Wire fans are like that, we were stood near some decent blokes (wire fans) and they were very welcoming and gracious in defeat.

I do believe though that Warrington are the worst in the league for scumbag fans.

WIRE have always had a hard core of thugs.
I remember in the early 80s them running riot with HKR fans down near the old craven park.
I seriously dislike them and would rather se Rovers win some silverware over that lot

it was the same place that the young lad got glassed 2 seasons ago. most wire fans are obviously decent people. seems to me the local bellend crew go to that pub to look for bother. some prick asked me as i was walking past "who the f*ck do you think you are" all because i had the nerve to walk through his town the police really need to look into getting a more visible presence in that part of town on match days

hope everyone who got caught up in this tonight is ok

Being a Warrington fan, I can honestly say I'm quite disgusted at the actions of some "scum" (As some of you here have put it) ... I'm not going to cry it's the minority, as although it is, it doesn't solve anything.

There was some people causing trouble outside the station and most likely wasn't even at the game, they've just been in the pub since 12pm as they have nothing better to do. They think they are the "Super cool" fans and are that annoyed at the loss they think they have to fight with the oppositions fans. Most of which are nice people and you can have a good bit of banter with them without it getting over the top, or fighting.

I'm sorry to hear you was targeted by these d*cks (Can i say that on here? Oh well) and even more sorry about your girlfriend, the good thing about Rugby League is you can get ANYONE involved. Men, Women & Kids... And when things like this happen where your girlfriend gets a broken nose, that will just put the women off coming to the games.

Warrington and it's fans are for the majority, not too bad. The area has calmed down (I live in Orford and it's toned down lately) and has become a little "safer" but like others have said, you do get the d*cks that come along and spoil a good night by causing a fight and causing other people to spend the night in A&E.

Warrington vs Wigan is always going to be a big game. And I for one enjoyed it tonight, yeah there was heart break when Wigan won, but the joys of this being a league game is having a loss this early doesn't matter too much. We lost to a good, strong team by only 2 points (Which if Briers had have stayed on, could have been 0 or a win) and we can take that win to next week and hopefully turn Hudds over.

The police should realise the heart both sets of fans have for their clubs, and how the thugs to get emotional and decide they have to fight to make them feel better and police the area better... I think it was the Warrington Homecoming after we won and Wembley, they had police horses out and bikes etc - They could have easily used those tonight as their presence alone is enough to make most thugs hide in their little corner.

But yeah - I'm rambling so again, I'm sorry to hear what happened to you, and I hope you don't completely tar all the Warrington fans with the same brush as we're not all like that, most just enjoy having a nice cold pint (Except at Salford where it's warm) whilst watching a good battle on the pitch before going home and posting on RLFans

Wire are scum because a group of fans caused trouble .. yes it is a bad incident but no offence it is not as worse as when hull came to the HJ a few seasons ago that wasnt one group of fans it was alot of fans bottles involved aswell .. so wigan fans not trying to cause an arguement but this is bad but being kicked out of super league for it .. not a chance!

This yob issue with wire fans has been going on since as long as I can recall, the very early 1970's.

The club don't really help either, I mean why did they sign players like Les Boyd ?

Warrington on and off the field are shocking.

I feel sorry for the genuine wire fans, and include a good friend of mine from Latchford.

there scum of the earth hogan was chris owen with you mate hope all is well i use work on the doors in warringtomn and also work on security at the ground for MYL security and the amount of bother warringtons home fans use casue was un real, loads are getting band for life from there own stadium they all think there gangsters i use have mates doing security at the bowling and they had more bother there than working on pubs and clubs "SCUM"

Hull FC and Warrington are the only 2 grounds my grandad will not travel too!

Too many bad experiances for him in the past.

Ive boycotted Warrington for years, ever since my family party where set upon by Warrington "fans". My mum had a right panic attack over it and my dad received a broken nose and 2 teeth knocked out.

These will be the same Warrington 'scum' fans that storm down Knowlsey road after yet another defeat. Asking pensioners to get their t*ts out etc.... While punching car windows as they pass.

I'm starting to dislike Warrington as a whole to be honest. LA bowl is full of Wire chavs too!
