Tell it to the rugby league community as a whole. Just because the past week has seen some Wire incidents this website seems to think it’s a Wire problem. And that it’s the whole fanbase.

You’re deluded if you think that.

This decade I’ve witnessed Leeds fans sat in our end at a GF only there to cause trouble and it happened, witnessed Leeds on Leeds fighting with each other inside and outside Old Trafford at another GF, seen videos of Wigan and Leeds fans fighting at a pub around The Quays before a GF, Widnes fans kicking off in the HJ with stewards, Widnes pitch invasion against Cas, Hull KR and Salford invading the pitch and fighting, Salford fans scuffling with their players, Hull fans kicking off outside the away end at the HJ, and yes also seen Wire and Hull kick off at the HJ... this is just off the top of my head that I know of, there’ll be dozens more from a range of clubs I bet.

You’re as likely to see trouble at any ground with any fans as you are Wire fans at the CC final.

The issue with the cup final is that, by that time, after a season that looked like it would be all Saints and Warrington, the wheels have started to come off the Warrington band wagon and it's quite possible that you may be struggling to make the top 4/5 and likely to have your backsides served on a plate by Saints, which, if compounded by plenty of ale and the prospect of having to travel north with gloating Saints fans, the powder keg could explode.
Let's face it, it took a lot less than that to light the touch paper in Perpignan, a lot less.

Disgraceful but not at all surprising. Until Warrington do something about the hooligans in their support incidents like this and the one in Perpignan will continue to happen. Yes all clubs have a section of idiots in their support but Warrington’s are by far the worst. I think it is a fair idea to have Warrington play behind closed doors, maybe the club might actually take some action for once or the thugs might stop.

Surprised we haven’t had Psychedelic Casual and his mates tell us it was Ben Thalers fault this week. Progress has been made in that regard, at least.

Can we just clarify that the "kicking off" you speak of involving Hull fans was because we were met by a gang of Wire fans who had decided to wait for and attack us as we left the ground.

We have a d*ckhead element, as we saw at the semi final when the final Wire try went in, as do all clubs, thankfully a bit of self policing usually sorts it out. Other times it gets completely out of control which is what it looks like is happening at Warrington at the moment. Big question is, how do we control it?

Playing behind closed doors, apparently

Biggest load of poop you've come out with and that's saying something.

Re: Warrington Fans : Fri Aug 09, 2019 2:09 pm  

They're alright Wire fans. And that's from a Wigan fan. The reaction is OTT. Points deductions and playing behind closed doors? Give over.

Your oft repeated hatred and criticisms of all things Warrington has turned you into the Forum bore.

Re: Warrington Fans : Fri Aug 09, 2019 2:44 pm  

I see that all of the usual anti Wire posters are having a feeding frenzy on here.

So if it kicks off after wire win, will it be all saints fans fault?
