Some Leeds tool, yes i'll use the word tool (just the one though, the rest brilliant) when i was drawing money out of the hole in the wall held an air horn to my ear without me knowing then sounded it off, it was very painful and he walks off laughing with his mate saying "see him s--t himself, i've got it on my phone".

So when i pop up on youtube i can find out who the tool is.

Totally uncalled for.

Someone call the bizzies.

Not true fans.

Class.

You strike me as the Alan Partridge type, so your reaction must have been world class entertainment.

Genuinely hurt, i kid you not, i had ringing for about 15 minutes.

Really appreciate the OP. Not just because it compliments a set of fans that I am a part of, but because it's not often you get something like that said.

The only problem I encountered was in the car driving past all the packed out pubs on the way in. Some tanked up Leeds fans apparently thought it was hilarious that our car had Wire paint in the windows and flags on and thought it their duty to point and make us well aware of this. One even decided that it was appropriate to come up to our car, open the front passenger door and slur in "that's the wrong team..." a number of times before we made him leave. He did attempt to open the door again about 30 seconds later to tell us that our team was the wrong one again but the doors had been locked. Gutted... All pretty harmless, really; more funny than anything.

Our group had brief banter-y exchanges with Wire, Leeds, Hull FC, Wigan and Cas fans (probably more, I just don't remember), and all was grand. I really enjoy talking to opposition fans. I could only get an away stand ticket at our home fixture for Saints this year but got on swimmingly with the Saints fans next to us and had a good laugh.

Just don't use RL as a vehicle for your aggressive/violent tendencies or for your drinking problem

.

Kids and beer..

Somehow I always ended surrounded by Hull and KR fans every year, and have never had an issue. I do generally the on the beers early and enjoy myself, but enjoy the atmosphere and conversations with opposition fans. Never had a problem yet. If anything, this year was the best yet. Don't know wether it's a coincidence but I've sat in either the £50 or £60 seats each time, which probably puts alot of the "day out" idiots off.

Yeah but what if Yed had actually been a nutjob who was carrying a four inch shank in his pocket. Air horn guy would have got merked, and then he'd be all over the Leeds forum complaining about the Wire thug who stabbed him at a cashpoint.

Genuine real life lol. I salute you!

Well, that would be society's fault, not the fella's with the air horn.

Glad you met representatives of the majority of RL (not just Warrington) fans Lothlorian and had a good time. We didnt see any "trouble" just a few idiots having too much alcohol. [size=85(I must admit though, it is funny to watch an 19 year old sober intelligent girl rail-road a middle aged idiot who'd had too much to drink and making them look like they want their mummy)[/size

A Rhino should use his horn sparingly, lest he get eaten by Wolf.

Old Padgate saying circa 2012

Didn't see any trouble all day, everyone i met seemed in good spirits. Had a good laugh with some leeds fan who wouldn't accept Burrow is now a hooker. Was strange in the ground i was in block 512 and 2 rows from the back but ended up sitting in the front row because only rows 22-25 Were full not sure why it was so empty everywhere else behind he sticks looked full.

i was sat right at the front next to 2 leeds fans and must say we had a good laugh getting drowned in the rain and they stayed till the end watched the leeds players get their medals then watched us lift the cup said congratulations and left.

the only issue i had was i put my match programme on my chair while i was taking a video of players getting the trophy etc turned around and some scrote had knicked it.

PS will the club shop sell the programmes so i can spend another £8 to replace that one

I had a great time and didn't see any trouble, saw and talked to fans of a number of clubs.

There was even a couple holding hands on the underground platform the girl was a Wire fan and the bloke was Leeds, so there was the expected ribbing. Great to see that those relationships can exist.

Oh and I think air horns should be banned, they sound absolutely awful and drown out actual atmosphere.

Don't know about air horns masking genuine atmosphere but I do know that if I her another Coldplay song ever again I will cut my knob off!
Why they insist on trying to script emotion I will never know. As if we are all going to sit in silence as they parade the trophy.
It gets right on my tits all this bloody music everywhere.
Btw I play 4 instruments and love music but fecking Coldplay is not music...

I was sat with Wire fans behind the sticks, pleasure to sit with apart from one fan, big scare accross the left hand side of his face, was an absoulte disgrace.

I would advise you throw away all radios in your house then, and knives, otherwise you are going to end up with a life changing body modification.

I like Coldplay but I agree its not really Challenge Cup Final music. Unless you play it when the losers are going up to get their losers medals, "when you try your best and you don't succeed....."

They should play Simply The Best when the team is walking round with the trophy, like they used to when it was always Wigan winning it.

Maurice Lindsay now owns the rights to it.

Thought that was YMCA and Go West

He owns the musical rights to a Tina Turner song? Extraordinary.

Well he bought everything else, so why not the song as well ?



Fortunately all our talent is home-grown. With local lads like Currie and Micky Learmonth we are set up for the future.

That may fly a little high for many on here.

May be one or two but we are all used to Chaz's style on here now

I've got tickets to the Paralympics closing ceremony and the only downer is that Coldplay will appear at that. It's not that they are really terrible, more that they are a very average indy band without any really strong tunes who are talked up as musical titans!
