well two of the two wire fans (that i know of) aren't like that so i'd say you're wrong.

I would say I am a typical Wire fan.



I go to matches as and when I can.



I go with family and friends and meet up with others at the ground. I like to have a bit of friendly banter with the opposition supporters.



I don't get bladdered, don't swear (much), like a bit of a chant when appropriate but don't like being told what to do by 14 year olds with a drum.



I don't always 'sing' but shout my support in relation to what is happening on the pitch.



I like to talk about the game and discuss issues that arise on the pitch.



I am dismayed by the behaviour of people supposed to be supporters of the game - very little knowledge of the game, no desire to gain that knowledge, underage and drinking to the point that they are brave enough to abuse the opposition (and their own) supporters (from a safe distance!)



I know loads of supporters just like me, not just from Warrington.



Are you a typical Wigan fan?

Thought alcohol was banned on the club coaches and if they did have a bottle of Smirnoff why didn't you inform the driver or whoever was in charge?

Milly, far too mature for the trolls from here and other boards.

Well said.

Well said Milly, it's idiots like the one you just put in his place and Dei Morti Veventi who constantly call us. On the other hand, these few clowns who give us a bad name need putting in their place.

I'm not sure if you're talking to me.



But I wasn't trying to make these annoying teenagers out to be "glory hunters", I think they are a worse minority of our fan base which seems to have no interest in rugby WHAT SO EVER (glory or no glory) and just enjoy being drunk and yobbish.

I have never been sure what the club coach alcohol policy is. I always thought it was banned but time and time again I see people (young and old) bringing all kinds of alcohol on board.



I didn't tell anyone because when I first saw the alcohol they weren't doing anything to cause concern and I'm not one to "snitch" when people seem ultimately harmless. In hindsight you are correct, the best option would be for myself or somebody else to have alerted the driver.

Yes everytime i've gone on the coach it's been made clear that no alcohol is permitted.

Who makes it clear?



I have never had this pointed out to me by anyone in the club shop when I buy tickets.



Also, almost at every single away game I take a few bottles of water in a carrier bag. I have never ever been asked what I have within my carrier bag by anybody, not even the person from the club who collects coach tickets as you get on.



I could easily have been taking on 3-4 small bottles of Vodka.

Well done mate. if they had alcohol report them to the club (just explain how many in the group etc). Alcohol is banend on the club coaches and this may end up being the last club coach these idiots end up going on.

Thanks pal, I was in two minds about doing it because I was worried I'd get called "boring" etc but the response on here has been great.
