| I doubt there'll be any trouble in the ground itself, it's more outside the Wire ground itself particularly that cowboy saloon opposite the Central station. Some Wire fans (it is a minority after all) have been aggressive and more or less in your face when they win. Luckily I don't take any real notice but God knows how they'd react if they got beat.

| Well I will be in that Tapas bar in Warrington centre a good couple of hours before the game. Went last friendly game. I will be there in full cherry and white. Good 'Dance' floor in ther by the way. Get yourselves down Wigan fans.

Don't remember seeing you make the offer?
Sorry, just found the bit were you had a go at me for being a "Miserable Wiganner" whilst doing so, that really makes me feel welcome!

i will be in the west stand with my 9 year old son, if there's trouble i'll be very surprised, you don't realise that the majority of wire that stand in the west have kids with them. calling for segregation is pathetic and a move towards football. [ucalling some one an idiot may well get people a little angry though[/u.
i assume you work in P.R.
'"
But I do remember you calling me/Wiganners - Childish, A fool, ignorant, Miserable Wiganners, Arrogant etc etc
Bit hypocritical to have a go at someone for name calling when you did exaqctly the same?
PS
Now I believe we got an original 1800 which were gone by weekend, we then had an extra batch (someone mentioned 500 of those left? so maybe we got 600(ish)) means we possibly had around 2400 and bearing in mind they only went on "General Sale" to Wigan fans on Monday it's not neyond the realms of possibly we could have sold more if given a bigger allocation to begin with and put them on "Genreal Sale" from day one?
Not far off filling the West Stand and when you consider that a number have bought tickets from Warrington (Me included) as they were on General Sale to every man hand his dog for over 2 weeks I don't think it's unfair to assume we may get near the mark?
However
I do agree and to be honest of you read my posts properly you would have seen, that I/m not really bothered.
What my point was is that it was yourself who came on here stating that we would "Never", "Very Rarely" sell out that West Stand and we should show a Bit more realism with a little on the end for good measure.
I was only pointing out that if you don't give us all the tickets then you can't expect us to sell it out then can you?
Well, for a SKY game and around 2500 Wiganners we haven't got too far off the mark?

| There was one guy at the back of the stand I was in for the friendly being really aggressive, and i'm sure it's the same guy who kicked off at the semi at Widnes. He's a big fat bald guy who was just wearing a blue t-shirt with yellow hoops, which is weird as it was baltic!! He was mouthing off, swearing at kids and old women and was pretty intimidating. It was only a bloody friendly!!

| Hypocritical of Warrington to allow their fans in the Wigan end when they have placed special signs to prevent Wiganers entering the other areas of the 'stadium' :

I was under the impression when i ordered that delivery was free but apparently thats not the case. You can pick them up any time between now and the game, including game day itself.
Just thought i'd clear this up for anyone expecting tickets to be posted out.'"
That is indeed the case (thought I would double check). Apparently just take your e-mail confirmation along and voila.

| My mate and his pals got locked out last time you brought a few down.... I think the same will happen again as im sure they hadnt got their tickets yesterday....
And shock of all shocks.......they love coming to warrington in fact its the only away game they never miss ( the above game being the exception)....
however if you come here looking for nob heads you'll be sure to find one...and visa versa....
a great game is in prospect but i'm sure this board will be littered with the "a lad in a tracksuit swore at me on saturday night" posts after the game. and from the same suspects as well....
like I say my mates have travelled from Wigan for Friday night, saturday night, and sunday afteroon games, and drank in my local on plenty of occasions and have had No bother.......
you just have to be sensible and watch how you go ......
this is a rule for life in general not just a passionate sporting occasion....
A colleague of mine last week was robbed of his wallet,his phone and his Car at knifepoint on the car park we use in Manchester, he'd have swapped that for being called a fat pie eating Ba****d any day of the week.
have a safe time and I hope you lose

I saw the same bloke at the bottom of the stairs near the toilets, he was shouting at anybody wearing Wigan colours, surprised he was'nt thrown out by stewards to be honest, I suppose you have to try and just ignore it, but it can be intimidating.

There is another alternative which I shall be exercising and that is to watch it from home. Category Z fan, I know, but I made the decision a while ago to boycott HJ. I hope you enjoy it without too much grief to cope with. I personally find it's not worth it.

Fair play mate, I try to attend as many matches as possible both home and away, the HJ is one of my least favourites, as was Wilderspool.

Because of a minority who make it just too unpleasant an experience. The last straw for me was the behaviour of the natives during the Catalan Semi Final at your neutral (lol) ground.
ATEOTD it's only a game of rugby. I won't miss the HJ and the "house full" signs will certainly show the HJ won't miss me.

I don't do many away games for various reasons. I did go to the Catalan game at the HJ though and it totally bemused me why the Warrington fans behaved in the way they did. Admittedly it was a minority, but to be waiting outside the 'Wigan' stand for the Wigan fans was quite an unusual thing to do. Personally I couldn't care less what they did and I can rise above it, but I soon found my self reversing back into the stand, where the stewards locked the doors, due to Warrington fans kicking off with Wigan fans. Now I'm not painting the Wigan fans out to be all sweetness and light but this sort of thing doesn't happen in this extreme with us and any other club.
I have never taken my 6 year old to a Warrington game for this reason. Not that I think he'll get attacked but I don't want him to see drunken morons, from both clubs, mouthing off and fighting. He's gutted about it really because I've instilled a hatred of all things Warrington from a very early age

| It stuns me thats theres a ground in superleague that fans feel unsafe enough to stop attending. I honestly have never felt intimidated at any superleague ground and I include the Boulevard in that(which had a very bad rep).
It's a real shame if people feel that way and everyone has the right not to attend the games but i'd hope if an incident did occur involving myself i'd think 'sod that these idiots aren't going to stop me attending games' but until anything actually did it's hard to say.

I was in the West stand that day and didn't anything apart from bit of swearing between Wire and Wigan fans didn't see any fighting though, guess it depends on the the person having been to Woodison and Old Trafford as a Liverpool fan guess the level of things I can accept at a match is pretty high.
