Some of the people standing outside the King's Head when I walked past looked like they'd been spawned in a petri dish, it was fairly obvious what they were waiting for. But that doesn't mean they were Warrington fans, none of them had any colours on for a start.

plenty of the skinheaded tracksuit wearing sunbed wits stood outside when i walked past kinds head.

With their heads on swivel and no pints in hand,

Same ones that were outside the Rodney, i'd hazard a guess they didn't attend the game.

Not Warrington FANS
nothing to do with the RUGBY
but
Warrington FOLK
complete NOB HEADS

Most of the Wire fans we came across had a laugh and banter with us. There were a few n0bheads but every team has them. As soon as we got off the train in Warrington a group of about 6 lads walked up to my mate and said "Im gonna f*ckin t*at you after the game" which made us giggle. After the match walking back to Bank Quay station an old manc scrote was wandering the streets saying "you best get the f*ck out of here before you get filled in its like Millwall round here" to which 40/50 Wigan fans burst out laughing. A good day overall and will be going back in 2 weeks.

Scum.

thats always been the weird thing about the wire 'element' the fact they are 40 year olds. was the same at wilderspool.

normally each clubs element are the 16-20 year olds who've just discovered beer

The "not Warrington fans" thing annoys me. If they were at the game (and I know you don't know if they were, but you don't know that they definitely weren't either) and supported Warrington they are Warrington fans.

It doesn't make any difference what they were wearing either. I haven't worn colours to any rugby or football match in years with the exception of the 2005 and 2007 European Cup Finals and 2009 Challenge Cup Final. What difference does that make? They weren't wearing Wigan colours were they?!

Just because someone doesn't fit into your replica shirt wearing, Tom Hark clapping image of "the family game" doesn't mean they don't support their team just as much as you do.

I'm not defending specific individuals who may well have just been bellends, I don't know them and they may well be exactly that. However they could also be normal lads who support Warrington who found themselves getting goaded by some lads who support Wigan and did something about it. Hardly the same as picking on innocent women and kids if that's the case is it?

yes officer there were 5 of them, all kicking the out of me, no i'm not going to tell you what they looked like or what they were wearing, its not important.

I wasn't talking about how to describe them to the police was I?** I was refering to "not true fans" type comments above about lads outside the local alehouses.

**I wouldn't do so in a million years anyway.

Unless I've got the wrong end of the stick,
you wouldn't help someone get some justice, if you watched them INNOCENTLY get 7 shades of 5h1t kicked out of them, if the attackers are wearing a team's colours.

A scumbag is a scumbag is a scumbag, NO MATTER WHO THEY SUPPORT (if anybody).

Hooligans aren't much better than paedos/rapists etc.
