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.

Because the "Casuals" will beat them up....all 3 of them

Seems abit strange to let that kind of thing stop you from going but its up to you.

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.

There was enough trouble for the stewards to lock the doors.

Like I said, I'm not painting our lot out to be angels, we've all got our share of numpties, but it doesn't happen to this extent when we play Saints, Salford, Leeds etc...

Very true but any of those fans who come in our stand at those games are normally familes but I am pretty sure there will be a few part timers from warrington in the wigan end making trouble.

On Saturday?

Without doubt, probably the same ones who attended the Catalan v Wigan semi final who where there for no other reason that to cause issues.

You clearly have been lucky enough not to find yourself in an itimidating situation. From the posts on this topic, people have.

I appreciate it must be luck because I know theres no reason for people to make stories up.

As i've said before it's a real shame that anybody feels like they can't attend certain grounds. If thats the case then something needs to be done.

it sounds like certain people want trouble so they can come on here and say I TOLD YOU SO you wont get trouble unless you go looking for it.

You don't need to look very far in Warrington.

Yes I want trouble when I have friends and family at the game, get a grip.

Dont be so stupid, i dont know any fan that wants trouble! Few beers, laugh, banter and a great of rugby league. Nothing else needed.

i think you need to get a grip your going to watch a game of rugby not visiting the garza strip .youve frightened me that much iam scared now as for familys well its a family game. just stop all the scaremongering.

Did they go in the West stand last time you came?

Id rather spend time on the Garza Strip than have a night out in Mr Smiths.

snap

Ditto

Is that Tony Smiths house ?

I'd rather watch Gazza Strip then have a night out at Mr Smiths!

One ticket and one ticket only left at Wigan for the North Stand - Warrington should still have some left for the West Stand though.
