It's part and parcel of watching RL. As we were walking out we passed a few coaches bound for Pieland and several Bog Brushers were showing their disdain of us Leeds fans.
I blew them kisses which, for some unknown reason, seemed to aggravate them further.
Bless.

On the road out past the gas club, i decided, in my slightly inhebriated yet very happy demeanour to skip up the road whilst clapping each coach one by one and waving. I can only think this wasnt appreciated by the passengers as much as it was by the fans walking with me.
Im such a scamp! |

| Quote ="yickpie24"My Mrs and I were walking back to the car, some poor Wigan fan on his own was copping a load of verbal from inebriated Leeds fans and foolishly tried to debate a few things, then surrounded by Leeds fans my Mrs and I and copped a load of abuse whilst minding our own business. 40-50 year old blokes hanging out of cars shouting “F****** get back to Wigan” and a big gang of young lads, inebriated making a beeline for me shouting “Tomkins is w******”, I’m not related to him funnily enough?!, even Leeds fans were saying “ignore them” stuff like that. My Mrs is new to Rugby League and it’s a sad day when I go to a game and get a load of verbal for wearing an opposition shirt, football mentality I’m afraid and makes Leeds fans look like thugs.
I'm under no illusion that there are elements of fans in every club like this but this was way over the top, I was on my own with my Mrs and it has left a poor taste in our mouths about Leeds fans and the sport today.
I will be writing to the RFL and Mr Hetherington on Monday to put my point across, if I get a response I will relay it on here.
P.s. Leeds totally derserved it today.'"
Surely I can't be the only RL fan to have noticed you ALWAYS get these kind of moans and whinges off Wigan fans whenever they lose a big game?
You certainly don't get them when they win.
Toy-throwing at it's very worst. |

I think the least Mr Hetherington could do is offer you some Challenge Cup Final tickets as a gesture of goodwill. |

Although I can appareciate your disgust at what happened to youy i do think the real context should be that knobs don't need a sporting event to confirm the size of their collective gene pool.They display this in any town in UK on many weekend evenings.In this case they merely were more decoratively dressed.
Have a walk around your hometown any Saturday night and it will be there to see for a start.
Like others have mentioned we can all supply a list of poor behaviour from 'other fans'...mine starts with oops some wigan fans at wembley in '94 who at a brave range of all of 10 yards verbally abused a family in an age range of about 8-65+ for "being a bunch of F66666ing %% wasting ya 6666in pension turning up for a ars3333ing" etc etc....all it proved was that if it sounds like a KN**,acts like a KN** then it was indeed..........OR do I mention the LEEDS fan at a Wigan pub who didn't like the way I wore the LEEDS COLOURS....NOW HE was indeed a NORBERT CRANIUM.....
I then had a chat with normal wigan fans......in both cases.....

Like somebody mentioned earlier it seems to be that cup semis and specially wembley will bring the 1-2 game a season/in there lives brigade (im all for new to RL supporters by the way.) Unfortunatley a small minority of these seem to think RL is like football, where they feel the need to abuse opposition fans. Like i said i love it when people come to watch RL for the first time and enjoy it, but if they only want to come to cup semi's/final to get ratted and abuse oposing fans then i would kindly request they not bother.

| Quote ="BaldRick"Is this the thread where we all bring up our past experiences with the opposition's fans when we lose ?
Shall I write to the RFL and report the time my mate and I were attacked by Wigan fans and I couldn't work for two weeks due to the injuries I received ?
Or should I write and tell the RFL about the time I put myself in the firing line between some eejit Rhinos fans having a go at some Wigan fans and I put a stop to a potential problem ?
I wish we didn't have this problem in our sport , but we do , and I can't see it going away .
Apologies to you and yours for the behaviour of the eejits today . Trust me when I say we ain't all of that mentality . Best wishes for the rest of the season , [size=150[u[iand see you at Wemb...... Ooooops [/i[/u[/sizeicon_wink.gif'"
Yes we will see you all at Wembaleee . Two from the Capital City sat in with you lot and supporting you lot . Leeds got all they deserved on Saturday 
Ps I wasn't just Leeds fans that were looking for bother we had our fair share as well ...Sorry . No place for that in our game .

| Quote ="rhinoms"There does seem to be incidents of this nature after "big games" between most of the top clubs unfortunately.
I did also think it could be much worse with the 5.30KO and plenty of time for tools who cant handle their ale to get blitzed.
I will definately say we are not all like this and you just got unlucky to be near some gloits today and it's obvious you were easy targets unfortunately.
I hope it doesn't put yer mrs off RL because i think its a great sport and more often than not you can go to games without any grief before ,during or after ANY game and mingle with opposition fans.'"
Thanks for the sensible reply and seeing past the 'sour grapes' guff. I thought Leeds executed a game plan really well in the game and deserved their win. It hasn't put us off going to games but will be more cautious next time. |

| Quote ="MjM"Pissèd up, aggressive chavvy Leeds fans are nothing new.
But they, and quite a few others, need to urgently get over their obsession with Sam Tomkins. It was just embarrassing seeing middle-aged men with kids desperately giving Tomkins the finger every time he was near the Leeds end and howling at him like drunken jackals.'"
Some of the abuse Tomkins got turned quite nasty at some points. I'm all for banter between players and fans but when adults are standing up and screaming some of the things that were being said in front of their children, it's all a little sad really. |
