You know, it's like some people want our great game to go the same way as wendyball. There isn't a single set of fans I have a problem with, and I really can't understand why anyone would, or why someone would refuse to go to a ground based on their fans. We should be proud of, and celebrate the way our sport is, not work ourselves into a frenzy about who has the 'worst' fans, it is childish and downright bizarre.

It's a family game.... i go to watch it and have fun, maybe with a bit of banter. I don't expect to have to sit on the coach, waiting to go home, only for it to come under attack with stones and bottles.
It looks like the Brigantes Bodyforms are giving rugby a bad name in the last few weeks they have been linked with acts of vandalism, attacks on opposition fans, racist chanting and last week were the target of police anti-hooligan survellience teams. Not really the things rugby league is usually linked with, perhaps Wigan as a club should take a stance before things go too far.

Wigan didn't make the play-offs in 2005 so I don't know how that happened!
Warrington sold their allocation last season for the game but not the season before, they also sold their allocation in 2007 when there was also fans in the east stand.
The stand is never full with fans, same as the south stand. H&S prevents that from happening.
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS

Well that's unfortunate, i'm 16 so i only remember a play off game, not the year.
