its all about fianance, and the club have to pay for police, it isn't about organisation

only ground a wouldnt let my younger members of my family go to.

seen enough of the wire lot to know they dont care if your male or female, young or old.

they need sorting out before they bring the genuine fans of warrington (of which i know there are lots) down with them.

Even with organised football violence today in England, there is an unwritten rule that "scarfers" i.e. people wearing opposition colours and females are not attacked.

The problem with "some" Wire fans is that they choose to ignore this.


Sorry - edited, "Some" Wire fans.

Sorry to hear about this Hogan, majority of Wire will be as disgusted with this as you lot are and will offer our support in any way possible to put these tools where they belong.

Unfortunatley some people don't know how to behave in a civilised society it makes it worse when they attach themselves to any sports club as it tarrs everyone associated with that club.

Hope you are both OK and for what its worth send my sincerest appologies.

its not just warrington fans though is it , on my way home from the ground ive seen a wigan fan attempting to hit one of the police guards outside the stadium for not doing as hes told , both as bad as each other tbh

yes my son and his girlfriend had been to the game,

No, i think he means the Wire fans that you referred to, plenty of armchair supporters occupy that pub rather than pay to go to the game.

Are you for real, i meant the thugs.

Then he's a tool, but we are talking of gangs of louts itching for a fight after the game.

Give me a Wigan v Saints derby anyday i'm afraid.

they were outside the same pub with Warington shirts on. but couldnt say whether they had been in the ground or not.

I get that now, they were outside the pub with warrington shirts on, when they went past, whether they had been in the ground ??

WTF? There is no honour (unwritten rules) in this MattyB, anyone who fights at games is an idiot.

I enjoyed the game tonight but the atmosphere after the game was ugly to say the least.

Justifies hitting women in the face then? Nice one mate!

As far as i can see the girlfriend (YICKER who posts on here) will have a nice black eye in the morning, so thank you to the so called Wire fan who thought it was tough of him to her!!!

This isn't towards all Wire fans, but just the ones who decided to throw there hands about!.

then there should be police near every pub located near the ground , kids also go to these kind of games they dont want to see gangs fighting in the middle of the road or beer bottles being thrown , disgrace !!

It's that section of the Wire supporters that are closest to the away end that seem more intent on winding up the opposition than supporting their side. There was a few drunks waiting right outside the Wigan end shouting stuff I couldn't repeat on a forum. They seemed itching for a fight and someone told them to behave there's children around here, but they were just abused. Disgusting. I just kept myself to myself, hid the Wigan shirt and got back to my coach as quickly as possible. It's not worth it.

Well I am sorry but Warrington should have to pay for "their" fans problems... If they have issues within their fan base then they have a legal obligation to protect fans of other clubs... if not, kick them out of superleague... the scum bags! Disgraceful behaviour tonight... Scum SCum Scum... a disgrace to the great sport that is rugby league!!! iTs about time rugby league stopped living in a dream world and started acting against such incidents......

Probably never went to the game

Possibly the trouble with tonight was it being a sell out therefore plenty of people turning up and not getting in meaning more people in the pubs than usual and probably some of them peeved (no excuse i know) that they couldn't see it. They then have a few beers and take that out on innocent people.

I hate mindless thugs of any kind, but banning them will achieve nothing if they don't even go to the games.

i had a similar experience outside the very same pub when it all kicked off, me and my mates who are 14 &15 got offered to "fight" from some wire fans who had to be in the 40's and i think that is a disgrace. i know young people have a reputation of causing trouble be we were doing nothing other than walking back to the station.

Spot on

Helpful that, really



I've been to hundreds of games with friends never once felt compelled to abuse an opposing speccie.

AM I SCUM ?

Instead of throwing insults at a majority innocent party, come up with something constructive.

I was stood at the back of our stand and didn't realise how bad some of our chav following are. The lads around me were all more bothered about offering Warrington fans a fight than watching the game. Mixing the supporters didn't help, they shouldn't do it for this fixture IMO.

i agree with what everyones saying on this forum ,, i agree about the RFL doing something about this its a disgrace and it shouldnt of happend , my apologies go out to the couple and i hope that coward gets caught

Another good point there. Mixing supporters in the Wigan end was dangerous and not just because of the chance of fighting. Health and safety. The announcements to keep the yellow marked areas free were pointless because the end was over crowded. It was ridiculous.

And equally there are a minority of chavs that follow Wigan these days. I guess every club has them. Some more than others though.

(Sarcasm button on) Wigan fans are all scum then, kick them out of rugby, why didn't the wigan fans do something about this. (Sarcasm button off) sorry i don't mean to make light of a terrible incident but reactionary scum chants get on my nerves

I don't think it was a good idea either, one wire fan kept trying to start a fight with the surrounding wigan fans when they were losing. I think he had a wee bit too much to drink which didn't help (he was drinking out of a two pint cup with 2 previously drank cups stacked below it and was the size of a whippet!)
