Merseyside Police used them for years at Knowsley Road for some games notably against Hull F.C, Leeds and Dire.

And us, I seem to remember a massive police presence a few years back.

I don't think latics are any more trouble than our fans i just think they're pre empting tension on Sunday due to the fact that the team that wins sends (or is it just probably sends?) the other down to the championship. I never hear of trouble at latics games but there is a good chance there may be at this one due to the importance of it. Think of how we have very little trouble then a little at wire maybe saints games then none again.

Whatever happened to Latics's "Goon Squad"? Do they still exist?

having spoken to the police riders in the past(yes they have been presnt before!!!!) they stated that the horses ned to get use to a crowd and this can not be simulated in any way apart from getting them out into a crowd. They also said that there was only a very smalll possibility of trouble at RL games and therefore it was an excelant oppourtunity to train the horses. We should take this as a huge compliment to the family values that RL has generated and not Knock it.

Yes, not so much now they are in the premiership and police and intelligence have resulted in arrests and banning orders. Somebody who comes into my work was telling me they was in Blackpool when they went there the other week, loads of trouble with Wigan, Sheffield United, Barnsley and Blackpool in the tower lounge. Not in the papers though, as per usual.

THIS

And this year's Drama Queen award statement goes to..............................

Stewards in the south stand have been p***ks for the last few months.

If the sight of a police horse made anyone edgy at a Wigan/Quins match I suggest they'd be better off not setting foot outside their front door, locking all doors and windows to the house and probably not watching stuff like Crimewatch.

I remember Police Horses were a common sight at Wigan/Saints games. The Police used them to escort Wigan fans back to St Helens train station last year. There even used to be a police helicopter that hovered over the ground & surrounding streets on derby day in the 80's & 90's

I don't remember the horses making an appearance at Wigan matches but they might have done. I do remember them turning up for matches against Dire, Leeds and the Hull teams though.

Play off semi final.

oh and last year aswell , we had a police escort back to the train station

Clearly it would for you, as you spend more time on here than your own forum.

That's the way I'm looking at it. I don't get all the fuss with it TBH.

Awful results for Latics so far this weekend.

i cant see a problem.........you have the problem.

the moon has its own rules, as does any licenced premises.
if you dont like the rules...drink elsewhere.

btw.........i hope latics go down and im made up with wolves and blackpool winning........."latics blinkers"?.....dont think so mate

You'll get your party tomorrow

Keep the faith!

Win tomorrow and then win at Stoke who'll be on the beach now, especially as they play City again midweek. Job done.

The head/chief steward spends most of his time staring at you like he expects you to kick off any second..................either that or he's mentally undressing me

I was for about 3 seconds, "bing bing, head steward to..." made me think of the good old "Mr Black or Mr Fox" to announce a bomb threat or a fire. But then I remembered the bottom of the table clash and that it was probably a training event for what could be a fun day tomorrow for the town.

We haven't won two games in a row for over two years. Accept my apologies if I lose faith.

Depending how Brum do tomorrow, a win and a draw might be enough yet.

One win might be enough but we're relying on turning round a 5 goal swing which is unlikely.

I do hope this bunting doesnt go to watse....
TBH ive mixed feelings about WAFC being relegated
Should I do egg mayo butties aswell, they usually get left



Maybe my ex-Utd now Latics supporting neighbour could help polish them off, he could kill 2 birds with one stone. Commiserate tics going down and celebrate Utd winning 19 leagues eeeeeeeeeee it must be confusing for some of these cameleons.

Oh ye of little faith.
