Again, Hull KR have fantastic support.

What are you basing your judgement of 'worst fans' on?

Hull KR/Leeds/Wigan supporters turn up to games more than any others.

Its not just to do with numbers though, its to do with personal experiences that people have had with some of their fans (probably at games and away from them too)

Its all very much subjective, the fact that the team that one person feels has the "best" fans is anothers "worst" says a lot really.

Personal experiences

What has the size of away support to do with it anyway? If that were the case we'd be worst on everyones list

Touchy lot in Wigan, aint they

Not touchy at all, it's just baffling how people can call the support of teams such as Wigan, Hull KR and Leeds when they are the clubs who are front runners of attracting people to the sport.

You've obviously more chance of having a bad 'personal experience' with teams with a big number of support than you will with teams a low number of support.

So does quantity not come into it?

I think this post pretty much sums up some smaller teams opinions:

When you take into account our past seasons of finishing above teams such as Huddersfield, we do expect to beat those type of sides and that's the reasons why we criticize our own team opposed to praising the under-dog.

Seriously?

Quins have got it spot on IMO. The Kings Bar is ideal pre/post match and to be honest, Harlequins are one of the few clubs that actually go out of their way (or at least, appear to) to make visiting supporters welcome.

Certainly way ahead of the "welcome" that I've endured at Hull KR (who apparently "don't sell B.O.G.O.F tickets to away fans") or Wakefield.

I agree.

In fact, I'd say Harlequins are the best.

I meant to put Hull KR, not Harlequins.

In my defence it was late.

The Stoop is indeed a very hospitable.

Huddersfield aren't the underdogs anymore when playing clubs like Wigan, they're currently your superior and whilst you continue to take a dismissive attitude towards such clubs you'll end up disappointed and be dismissed as typical arrogant Wiganers.


Which match was it last year that your own players shunned the fans and walked off rather than acknowledge you because of the stick you were giving them?
