Every club has it's idiots, but I'm certain every club has a large majority of decent fans.

Even Leeds fans are mostly friendly, and i've always had good banter at headingley.

Hard to ban someone because of a still photo? Did the police arrest them and is there CCTV?

I daresay the testimony of the coppers who led the scrotes out of the ground would be enough to ban them - thats even if there isn't CCTV etc.

To get back on topic though, I would say after long and thoughtful deliberation, I have decided that it is in fact Wakefield who have the best supporters.

It must be Broncos. They're two of the nicest blokes I've ever met.

Best fans i have met on my travels were Crusaders fans.

Upset tonight Hessle cause you fans are taking flak from the RL community

Best? Warrington of course.

Worst? Widnes. (all 10 of them)

huddersfield fans.always seem to be good natured.never had any hassle at their place..

hull bashing again i see. ok, no excuses. im utterly embarrassed and will not condone anything rovers or indeed my beloved Old faithful have done at any time. ill will however try and shed some light on why i think an ugly element exists in hull, firstly getting away from rugby, hull generally has a chip on its shoulder due to always being the butt of the joke. with out any self analysis taking place and with out even realising it i think the attitude can sometimes be "if you brand us bad, bad is what we'll be".... but specificely rugby fans, i reckon the intense hull rivalry has something to do with it. here in hull the bragging rights hang so heaverlly over our heads that its not just who wins the 3 derbies a year, not just who is placed higher in the league, but each and every SL match. FC lost to reds on this friday n my first thoughts was, "God! i couldnt bear it if rovers beat Wolves, ill never hear the end of it at work this week" now this kind of stress to an intelligent well balanced sober fellow is not a problem. but to the much talked about 'drunk minority', this might just be breaking point. silly, yes! what can be done? well im sorry to say it but restricting the booze intake could be a quick fix.

It’s been a few years since I was in a position to regularly attend Super League games but the best fans I have mixed with are Bradford, I particularly enjoyed sitting with them at Old Trafford for the Grand Final

back on topic. as somone else said. ive got a real soft spot for cas. fans team groud the lot. but generally each and every where i go (except HKR, sorry just being honest) is a pleasure.

Bradford is an interesting one for me. during the Robbie Pule era they where the most sickly fans going. i might get blasted for this but it was way too family oriented for my liking, more like being at a creche watching along with a load of pushy mothers. but now that there even worse a rugby league team than we are, their fans are top draw. and that pub right out side the ground on the round about is a cracking little boozer, with good banter on tap.

During my years of standing on the terraces of Central Park, I really enjoyed the visits of Cas... both the team and the fans

Hudds is a funny one. Genuinely friendly fans, but you get the impression that they aren't quite as fanatical as the other top teams'; possibly because they are mostly new fans with little sense of long standing inter-club rivalry. Is that a good or bad thing? That infamous banner didn't do them any favours at Warrington last season either.
The stewards at Hudds are also more friendly and helpful than the rest.

Not at all. I speak as I find and I'm quite sure that not all of your fans are little agents, despite what you may think. Incidentally the Bronco's quip was done with a smile.

Bradford ... Never had a problem with anything other than the bouncy castle man . Fans are always ok , and the St Johns hospitality is first class .

Cas ... No problems . Plenty of banter , but nothing more .

Catalans fans are always very well behaved . They do talk funny though .

Crusaders .. I can't fault them at all .

Hudds fans are always a pleasure to meet . Wether it is in the Skyrack or the Gas Club the colours on your shirt are not important to them . They don't seem to care at all . First-aid staff are more than competent . They are so efficient they get annoying . They won't leave you alone .

Hull FC .. I only have second and reports of bad behaviour . I have been among them when it got rowdy , but nothing more than a bit of drink related noise .

Hull KR ... Ooooohhh . Some can be a bit naughty . But no worse than most others . They ain't a bad crowd really .

Leeds .... Some proper numpties that can go overboard and get a bit loud , but they mean no harm .

Saints .. What can I say ... Not had a problem with them at all . Even when outnumbered 200-2 and me and my side-kick were getting worried about what was about to happen ... guess what happened ... they shared their beers .

Wakey .. Again .. No problems .

Wire .. Of the few I have met one was trying to smash his way into my car as I was sitting in traffic .

Wigan . I have been assaulted at THREE different venues by Pies fans . I'm sure the majority are really nice folk , but from my experiences I wouldn't put them at the top of my list of favourite supporters .

Did I miss anyone ?

i hear 2nd hand reports about fc fans every single week, and its always with out fail from a rovers arm chair fan in the pub (most unreliable sauce possibly) lol

Genuinely think both Hull clubs (generally speaking) have a good set of fans. Both travel well, even when they aren't playing well. Of course there's going to be tales of a drunken moron, but when they take 1500-2000 away most weeks, there's inevitably going to be some fools.

Impossible to determine, however as an FC fan Cas are my second team, always had a good rapport with their supporters.

Me and the missus were jostled and spat at last year at the DW on the way back to our car by these Brigantes group. Nothing serious but scary. First time it's ever happened to me in 35 years of following the game.
The same night I say a Wire prat had a go at a child , tribalism that sometimes even goes overboard on here is not normally in rugby league's DNA and should always be condemned.

On the flip side of the Wiggin fans at 'The Big One' in 2009 when Wigan played Leeds me and a few mates thought we'd go seen as it was a tenner a pop for such a big game, as usual we had our Leigh shirts on. Went up to a steward and asked, 'which is the away end?' the steward dircted us to the right turnstile, in we went and right into the middle of the Brigantes.

We got torn to bits, in a good way. Not the slightest bit of nastiness, got loads of songs sang at us and the Wigginers didn't even mind us cheering on the Loiners.

you cant really define the term best fans, as it could refer to anyhting, numbers,loudness,or plain friendliness.
i have experienced plenty of muppets from every club in my 20+ years of following the game, my own club included, but i've met thousands more brilliant,genuine welcoming people at every club.
i would say though that i always find the london fans very welcoming and more knowledgable than some northerners, crusaders fans were always a pleasure to be around,as indeed are dragons fans down in perpignan.
as was shown last year in the play off game, huddersfield fans and warrington fans seem to have a very friendly rivalry,almost a rapport, i've always found wire fans to be brilliant with us and vice versa,yet i know of many fans who have problems with wire.
in the past i've had many problems at both hull clubs but thanlfully nothing the last few years, save for the odd numbskull at craven park.
of course i would always class giants fans as good supporters, well the ones who stayed loyal to the club throughout our darkest days, its easy supporting a team with a rich recent history and of competing in the top flight, its another thing when your team is proper pants for 30 years!

but on the whole i would say all rugby league fans are the best fans

like i said in my post, our fans are mainly new to the game, there's a few hundred of us kicking around who were there in the last days at fartown, we enjoyed our intense rivalries with batley,dewsbury,keighley,bramley etc, we have never really built a rivalry with any of the big clubs,playing the top clubs was something we used to dream of every year in the cup


our support is in the main,families and older generations who used to follow us but started up again when things got better ( thanks ken!) we lost 3 generations of support during the dark days, and unlike most clubs we dont have that big group of people under say 30 who tend to be the more fanatical type of fans.
as for the warrington banner,again, as i've said we have a brilliant relationship with warrington fans it was just some spur of the moment thing to show our appreciation,whether others liked it or not,we dont care really,in our eyes there's nothing wrong with a bit of sportsmanship

Why is Gareth Carvell amongst the KR fans being chucked out? Surely he's got his priorities all wrong here
