| Quote Andy Gilder="Andy Gilder"Quote Andy Gilder="RhinoLaney"Talking of Wigan fans, fighting amongst yourselfs again yesterday was it behind the posts?'"
I would suggest that Leeds fans are the last to call other clubs supporters for that particular activity at showpiece games...'" A group of four Leeds vermin were ejected from the seats behind us yesterday, shortly after showering the people I was with in beer.
IMO it's not acceptable to dismiss the Wigan fan's complaints as sour grapes. Even if I didn't see this incident I saw plenty of evidence yesterday of this kind of behaviour by Leeds fans. And it's not a worthy argument to say, "every other club is just as bad". Who cares? A not insubstantial number of aggressive and unpleasant scum follow Leeds and we shouldn't be afraid to accept that fact and see if it can be dealt with (the fact that it probably can't be is also not sufficient reason to ignore it).

It's easier to just pen them in at the back of the South Stand so they don't come into contact with opposition fans inside the ground. Once they are outside on the streets, it's not the club's problem any more. They're more than happy to take the bar profits they generate though.
It's been an issue over the last ten years that the club have paid less than lip service to in the pursuit of profit.

| At the train station on the way home there was a load of Bog Brusher on one side of the platform and a load of loiners on the other. Both were goading each other - both were as bad as each other.

| As with all other sports there is always a minority who spoil it for others and I am sorry that this happened to you and yours. On the other hand my party walked off debating the game with some great wigan Guys, so its not all bad.

| I'm fed up of these type of fans, but what irritates me just as much is the obligatory thread on here that somehow makes us partly responsible, and having to defend ourselves for the behaviour of a moron. The responsibility lies with them, they'd be morons whether they had a Leeds shirt on or not. It's embarrassing to be seen wearing the same shirt as them but it's a problem with the individual, not the clubs fans as a whole. These threads achieve nothing I'm afraid.

I saw such an incident and thought it was a disgrace ....
I am going to write and complain the following people in this order :
- The lead singer of Echo & The Bunnymen
- Former 'How' presenter Fred Dineage
- The Chairman of Cowdenbeath FC (or failing that the Chairman of Oxford Utd FC  )
- Derek Batey
- God
Etc. Etc. Etc.
If I do not receive a satisfactory reply from any of them or if the government does not impose Marshal Law from Noon this Friday in an attempt to catch such perpetrators, my spouse / offspring / hamster / cattle / other domestic animals / fence post / cheese grater collection (*Delete as applicable) will never attend a game of Rugby League in our lives (* Any future lives we have through reincarnation or regression hypnosis)

I'm under no illusion that there are elements of fans in every club like this but this was way over the top, I was on my own with my Mrs and it has left a poor taste in our mouths about Leeds fans and the sport today.
I will be writing to the RFL and Mr Hetherington on Monday to put my point across, if I get a response I will relay it on here.
P.s. Leeds totally derserved it today.'"
And given the number of police around, why did you not make an effort to report this 'behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace' to the nearest constable ?

Kind of answers the question in the title of the thread doesn't it?
Does baffle me when people come on here (Leeds fan included too) after their team has lost and start a thread questioning the behaviour of a set of fans when we all know it's a minority of idiots that probably no nothing about RL apart from 'my team is great, your team is rubbish' that cause the trouble, especially at the Finals that attract a lot of 1 game a season 'supporters'. Not condoning it, it's dead wrong but not sure what its aim is on these forums and also unfortunately some people can't handle alcohol and sport (some don't even need the alcohol part) and they'd still be an idiot regardless of what team they 'supported' or wherever they came from along the M62. Decent RL fans are still able to mingle with one another better than most other sport, especially football.
