Thought it was absolute class from them to acknowledge our support, never mind Wires!

I will remember that game not for the rugby but for the fantastic Trinity support throughout the match and most of which stayed at the end to give a standing ovation to the Trinity players.

What a day out! Crazy considering the result but don't think I've felt prouder as a Trin fan than today. The atmosphere between both clubs supporters before the game was superb and the noise in the stand showed such passion for this club. Great fun on the coach both ways and the wire fans there on the day were a credit to their club.
Red White & Blue Army at its best today

The noise from our end when our team was basically getting hammered was amazing. The Wakefield fans just wanted to enjoy our day out whatever the result, there's not many clubs supporters would have done the same. Superb everyone...well almost!

There's always a cracking atmosphere at LSV, when there's a good sized crowd on.

Always enjoy meeting your fans when we come to your ground, so easy to speak to and never any sign of trouble,good luck with rest of season and see you next season at least that is certain.

Don't leave Ben Westwood out of that either. He came back from one of the 2nd half barrage of tries with a round of applause for our support. Yes, I like Wires fans too. Had a chat with one r two before KO. Strangely they weren't confident. Maybe that's down to last year v HKR. Maybe due to our improvement (that some on here seem to have forgotten) Anyway, though disappointed, I'm not down cos I'm proud of our club who struggle on against all odds and adversity and punch way way above our weight. Well done Wakey for stemming the flood and getting one, should have been two consolation tries when you were absolutely pasted

Yes. When I was younger Warrington had a poor rep but the club as a whole is excellent.
Fans support their team and don't moan. Coach is positive about other teams and players are pretty grounded.
And they are great to watch on the field too.
A classy set up all round.

Respect here where its due.

In the past ive thought TS as been very arrogant. Is he going to reward us with a player for 2017

Could Atkins be back in the Red White and Blue next year he will be able to soak it up every week

Tony Smith sets the tone; he's respectful and positive about the opposition, and that filters down to his players and supporters. Contrast that with Shaun Wane, for an easy lesson in why Wigan players and fans are disliked - and it's not, as they would have you believe, because they're the best - it's because there's a mile-wide streak of arrogance and disrespect, which starts with Wane and cascades downwards.
