Bottle throwing at half time : Sat Oct 13, 2018 9:05 pm  

Morons in Warrington section chucking stuff including a bottle at Wigan players was plain stupid . Fair play to Hill and Goodwin though for trying to stop them

A fair bit of unsavoury behaviour about today as there often is at Grand Finals, swaggering about smoking in the toilets and being generally aggressive to other people (who were all Wire fans anyway...?). The 6pm kick off invites people to spend all day drinking and also brings out the more casual fan who is more bothered about baiting the opposition than the game itself. Coming out of the ground I saw the Wigan equivalent of these Neanderthals being undignified in victory too.

This is why I don't enjoy going to finals - people spend all day drinking & turn into aggressive arseholes....last one for me this, no matter whether play like world-beaters next year or not.

Must admit guys, i thought pretty much on the whole the Warrington fans were superb last night. Obviously there were some isolated incidents you speak of which i can't comment on but before the game in the Man Utd supporters bar on the canal we had a really nice afternoon. Lots of banter, clinking glasses etc...................... Then there are the idiots. Those people aren't rugby fans, they are just losers wearing your colours who have a grudge against society. Most rational people don't tar you all with the same brush. Unlucky Warrington, the best team won but you played more than well. Just no plan after the drives.

Unfortunately I was sat next to a group of boors who either have bladders the size of a peanut or a really bad case of ADHD as they were up and down all match.

I too don't like the GF. There are some odious types who are blind drunk and obnoxious. Coupled with the claustrophobia of the concourse it's unpleasant.

I was behind the sticks and saw 4 "incidents" caused by drunken idiots within about 30 feet of us. Then on the row in front of me were 2 guys who were semi conscious for the whole match.

Last GF I'll be attending, all because of drunken Wire 'fans'

(I wonder if other teams fans are the same?)

Very sad. I'm afraid big matches attracts some horrible folk who usually haven't got a clue about rugby and often hardly watch the game. It's pathetic.

You could always sit away from the main supporters in a more neutral area. I was in the NW quadrant and it was fine up there. The south stand would be good and mostly neutral I suppose?

Albeit on numerous other threads we clamour to attract these sort of "fans" to fill the ground for marquee matches, just like they do in rugby union.
