I agree, maybe if Wigan weren't money saving by not opening a stand they wouldn't force 500+ fans in with the home lot and thereby create the problem to start with.
The stand was never offered as the tickets sent to the Giants were for the side stand only - They never intended to open it.
The mix of playing a game at 6:45pm and all day drinking doesn't help.

| I like Tomkins, he has a competitive attitude that all decent halfbacks need, if that occasionally comes over as over aggressive or niggly then I'm not too concerned, the positives outweigh the negatives.

Huddersfield didn't bring 500 supporters. In fact, there wasn't even half of that.

Why the hell should we open a stand holding 5500 for less than 500 fans? The real point here is if you had enough fans, the away stand would be open.

| You know you've got a good un when the home fans love him and the away fans tend to hate him and deny his talent. I'd be so happy to see this cheating, niggly, talentless player play out his days at Wigan. He does remind me of that other talentless cheat we used to have called Shaun Edwards. If only we'd have got rid of him earlier we would have won so many more trophies.

So what you're saying is, Hudds fans don't mix well with other supporters and should therefore be kept separate? What a shame the Birthplace of RL can't produce friendly and sociable fans like most other clubs.
We only open the North Stand for clubs who bring enough to warrant the cost. Must be embarrassing to be lumped in with Catalans, Quins and Crusaders in that respect.
Anyway, looking forward to the outcome of [url=http://www.therfl.co.uk/about/disciplinary_item.php?id=2185Keith Mason's charge sheet[/url later on. Odd, considering how dirty he is, that Sam Tomkins [url=http://www.therfl.co.uk/about/disciplinary.phphasn't been cited![/url

According to my Latics supporting neighbour 'there were clearly a couple thousand Huddersfield fans.'

| According to many bitter, bitter crust munchers there were over 500 there.
I am surprised there was any trouble, but all day drinking a late kick off may be to blame for that (and the low crowd too), but probably the main problem was the crust munchers expecting a walkover and instead seeing their party spoiled.
Sorry, next time we will stick to the script.
anyway, of course Tompkins hasnt been cited, didnt you know he is the new messiah?

Were you even there? There were a couple of hundred, if that.
We all ended up just laughing at the Hudds lot standing up gesticulating and yelling at the Wigan sections only a few yards away. And your classy females screaming like maniacs at the Wigan couple sat on the row in front after the fight kicked off (they moved after a while). And the comedy fat boy I mentioned earlier. To be fair, beating the top of the table must be like all your birthdays come at once, so enjoy your moment.
But - if your lot can't handle a few beers before a game, I suggest the majority stay away. That way you could all fit on a double-decker bus and save yourselves a fortune, and we'll all have a nicer time.

You open it for other teams. We opened our away stand for 150 Castleford fans last year when we were on Sky.

That's because they bring a reasonable amount of fans.

Perhaps the reason he hasn't been cited is because there was no Tompkins on our team sheet on Sunday. In fact, I'll check, but I don't think we have any player registered by that name.

Dont worry, you can celebrate the winning the hubcap next week...so long as you dont bottle it against the Dobbins.

No, that was my mistake, I mistook 2 Giants fans being removed from their seats for them being evicted, when in fact they were taken behind the concourse and given a bollocking, before the stewards took pity on their crying and wailing and let them back.
Oh, and this was very early in the game.

| No I wasnt, I have better things to do with my time than travel to Wigan on a sunday evening and hand money to Dave Whelan et al.
Seemingly like a lot of actual wigganers.
And are you actually suggesting the Wigan Walk didnt happen? Really?

What, a few dozen out of 13,000+ leaving with less than 5 minutes to beat the traffic?!
You'd never see that at any other games, ever, would you?

| The fact is Wigan fans where calling him the best half back in Super League, now it's the best fullback. The truth is his been moved from Half back because he doesn't have the organisation or directional sense to lead his side around the pitch, he also doesn't have the game breaking play of a Kyle Eastmond.
Tomkins looks decent because he can attack at fullback but other than that he'll be average and definitely not International class. The way Cudjoe walked around him for the winning try on Sunday was very poor.

| Out of interest did you make it over to the Galpharm earlier in the season? Do you attend every single game home and away?
As for seeing fans leave before the end to beat traffic, sure it happens elsewhere.
But never with 2 points in the game. And its called "the Wigan Walk" for a reason.
Did you stay to the end?
