But you just said they're an "away following" implying there's nothing wrong with them. If you don't condone it then don't appear to defend it.

Why is the blame always laid at the feet of football fans?

Unfortunately we do have a number of idiotic youths that follow the team every away game... some were (reportedly) responsible for trouble at the Warrington game where the police got involved (nothing you've read on the wigan rlfans threads). Youth + beer = stupidness. most clubs have it, Quins are the worst for it. Just a shame we can't eliminate them entirely.


So, theyve gone from being an away following to an element you need to eliminate entirely in the space of two posts?

How fast can you backtrack :lol:

I said 'do we think' mystic, not that they WERE football fans.

That said it is behaviour more akin to football fans in the main.

After witnessing wigans chav following last night its makes me think how can it be called a family game. People complain about the atmosphere at odsal but atleast you don't get p*ssed up kids coming to a game just to impress there boyfriends. Never amongst bradford fans have i ever felt embarrassed, we realise it is a family game and we don't want to tarnish the name of our club with prats going to a match to start fights. Odsal has always been a friendly environment and will always be that way, but other clubs need to take a look at there fans and realise its unnacceptable the way that some of them behave. And looking onto next week at Warrington i expect a big following from Bradford and i can honestly say win or lose our fans will do no damage to our clubs clean reputation.

Had 3 of them on the bus with me going into town at 10.30pm
They had missed there coach back and were looking for the train back to Manchester
No idea if they got it or not
They had scratches n bruises all over them

Also a few were in the Top House before the game
Singing Bradford is a poop hole
Landlady Elaine went out and told them to shut up

They told me they were Man Utd fans

Fair enough but this happens all too often on RL boards who seem to want to live in denial that there are some unsavouries that follow the game.

After all, if I was a Wigan Athletic chav who was looking for trouble, I would be more inclined to try and mix it with the likesof Man U's, or Chelseas, or West Hams' etc firms rather than travel to Bradford to mix it up RL fans who apparently do not fight.

They didn't miss their coach they were thrown off by fellow Wigans fans for fighting/swearing/racist chanting etc and stopped from travelling home by the driver. So I heard :WHISTLE:






Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.
