This is terrible and for young children to get upset and not want to come to games anymore is not good. But in the same breath a lot of people save up and go in dept to watch Warrington week in week out. And on the last 7 performances people have had enough and are making their feelings known that they are not happy and i dont blame them. (For the record i don’t boo and never have).

People have to make their feelings known, in all walks of life. I don’t blame certain sections of fans for booing. The club have to know that the paying public aren’t happy with the muck they are serving up to the paying public week in week out.

PS

What was being chanted in the west stand?

Going off my experience ...
Who ate all the pies?
Who ate all the pizzapods?
Who ate the hot dogs? who ate the burgers?
Who ate all the fries.

Oh Harribo...is all there's left.
Oh Harribo...is all there's left.
It's only got harribos, tea and kenco.
Oh Harribo...is all there's left.

All adults in all areas of society have a responsibilty to act in a particular way when in the presence of children. When I had a season ticket in the East Stand, intially with my seven year old and then without after he decided he didn't want to go anymore, I was always aware of my surroundings and adjusted my language accordingly. (Occasionally the odd expletive would slip out, but would be immediately followed by an apology to those around me).

I find it disgusting that a child can be left feeling so upset or fearful that they don't wish to go anymore. Surely the club/stewards should take this sort of behavious, particularly in the East/Family Stand, very seriously indeed. Ignoring the moral issues, losing one child as a fan forever could cost the club thousands over the years in lost ticket and merchandise revenue. All the community awards in the world mean nothing if fans of any age, but in particular children, are too fearful to go to games.

Im considering bringing my young son to his first game in the near future but hearing stuff like this is making me think twice.

Surely thats not right?

The only saving grace is that we are in the North Stand and its a bit more sedate in there, what with all the old folk.

If I do take him and hear any foul or abusive language then I will certainly put the culprits in their places.

Incidentally, what do all those hired 'gangsters' do for there money? Not alot from what ive seen. Instead of marshalling the crowd they just seem to lean against the nearest wall chatting to eachother or watching the game!

A couple of years back when we played Huddersfield at the end of the year, I had some nutter from Barrow stood next to me going absolutely apes'hit for the first half. The stewards removed him and rightly so, other than that, I've never seen somebody removed.

I can never agree with booing - I can understand the shouting more, as this can be a knee-jerk reaction - where as booing isn't.

Saying that, If I thought that I was the kind of fan who is prone to losing there temper, without planning on doing so at the game - I wouldn't sit in the East stand, around the families - It's just bad manners to do so !!!

I must congratulate one steward in that stand though who acted so quickly on one particular incident stopping what could have been a nasty incident. We were sat on the front row in the corner near to the South stand and my 9 yr old son with his 3 mates were sat immediately behind us. At half time, we stood up to stretch our legs and my son, put his feet up resting them on the back of my seat. Straight away a steward punced on him telling him to get his feet down immediately. Other people were doing this all around us, mainly adults not one word said. Just as one word not said for any of the abusive language. Oh and for teh East standers that always leave early, please do just that, leave. Don't walk down to the front of the stand as your going then stop and stand in front of the kids whilst you watch a bit if the match on your way out. We've paid for seats too.

fully agree with this post I too take a young child and that idiot near us, you know who you are the one with the beanie hat on on the end of the row, you should be bloody ashamed of yourself.

I would appreciate Media Greg coming on here and telling us what the club intend to do about these idiots

come on Greg make my day and tell me the club is actually going to take this seriously.

You would be much better emailing Greg, rather than relying on him reading every post on here.

I emailed the club about the West Stand kiosk on Saturday and received a reply yesterday with an explanation, apology and restorative gesture today. First class response from Dave Hutchinson. I suggest sending a polite email to info@warringtonwolves.com, identifying seat numbers/position etc and taking it from there.
