Absoultley shockin these people. As you know i won some executive seats on a compettion and was in the saints end. There were a few Leeds fans around us but not very many. There was a young Leeds fan about 6 and is dad infront of us, and like u would was celebrating when Leeds scored there final try, this man got up started giving abuse and swearing at the young boy and went straight to his face leaving the lad in tears and his dad very angry, also there were 2 incidents in both corners of the stand. One saints fan being thrown out for punching. After the game there were a family of Wire's all with heir shirts on and i heard one saint's fan say 'watch this', he walked up to the dad and started pushing him and arguing with him oer absoulte nothing.

These are the worst fans in SL. FACT.

They are very fickle

It was the same in 2007 apparently, must admit I went last year with my Wigan shirt on with my Saints friends and never had any trouble or seen any. It's unfortunate if you do see any though but it does happen and sadly it always seems to be the "grown ups" who act like idiots after bein on the beer all day.

Sore losers.

It does happen, but it happens with fans of all clubs and anyone who tries to suggest otherwise is deluding themselves (I know your not!)

The vast majority of fans can go through the day without a problem regardless of who they support but you will always get your idiot minority who are out to cause trouble.

I think it's about time we stopped talking down all elements of our game and started talking about the positive parts. We're really good at shooting ourselves in the foot. Generally our fans are light years ahead of Football as regards behaviour and even RU is having a problem at the moment with a Referee being attacked by a fan at Coventry last week. Just for once let's give some air to the positive side of or game and stop all this petty bickering.

Leeds fans are no angels aswell, i went down to the toilets about 5mins into the 2nd half and when i came out there were around 15-20 Leeds fans in the concorse chanting Manchester w*nk! w*nk! w*nk! and songs about Munich, very odd behavior considering they were supposed to be watching a rugby match.

the majority of any teams fans are well behaved normal human beings...theres always the scum element that surface for certain games....pity we cant bring back hanging for plebs like this

The last 3 finals between Saints and Leeds have all involved fights in around the stadium and it's disgusting. The real thing that astounded me last night though was how many Leeds 'fans' I saw outside the ground before their team had even lifted the cup! These people have paid between £20 to £60 per ticket and would rather get the better of the M62 than celebrate with their team. If that's what success does to you then....

Obviously Leeds Utd fans.

Yep, still odd though, considering the game was in play and there in the concourses.

It never ceases to amaze me that some people will pay good money for tickets, take their seats late, go for a drink just before half-time, come back 5 minutes into the second half, then leave before the end to beat the traffic. They usually miss about 20 minutes of the game.

Probably miss more than twenty minutes as they also seem to be incontinent.

Me too. A bloke behind me at the recent Manchester derby, missed Rooneys first goal because he was late and then went 10 minutes before the end and missed the two last goals!!

Some Saints fans bickering amongst themselves where we were sitting.

Still, doesn't beat the idiot Dewsbury fan who decided he wanted to take on everyone in his block.

Really hope he got what was coming to him.

Does this thread mean that our fans are no longer classed as scum (labelled for knocking the Goons out of the CC and then very agressively doing the conga at the back of the stand a week later) ?

Every team has a couple of idiots. It wasn't too long ago that bitter Wigan fans were labelling us all scum because a few Warrington fans made a nuisance at the semi final.

Lets not label all Saints fans the same because a couple of idiots can't handle their beer.

As a previous poster says, we are incredibly lucky in rugby league that the majority of our fans are Well behaved and a credit to the game.

Just the point i was going to make m8, lets not do a Wigan and label all saints fans becaouse of a mindless few

After what I saw and was subjected to in 2007 I've not been and won't go if saints are there. They'll always be the odd incident but it was disgusting in 2007 and the RFL are lucky nothing more was reported about it. Not sure to what extent the trouble was last night in comparrison to the last 2 tears?

ALL teams have their fair share of complete tools, us included.
Im finding these threads that pop up every now and again boring now.

People are people and people don't suddenly decide to be a nob because of the team they support.

Some Wire fans are scum (i've seen them) but add to the list Wigan, Saints, Leeds etc etc.

No one can claim that their team have no element of turds supporting them.

I haven't seen any trouble at Old Trafford at all. I did have trouble with a Saints supporter in 2007 who was sitting on the same row as me and decided to get verbally abusive when I said to my Dad (who is in his 70s) that we looked very wobbly and didn't look like we would win the match. This man did not like us saying that to each other so took it upon himself to give us an earbashing. That year alcohol could still be brought to the seats so we had to put up with him going up and down to the bar the whole match. In 2008 and this year I saw and heard no trouble at all.

While Saints have their idiots, they have no more or less than any other team.
