East stand fans : Mon Feb 23, 2009 6:51 pm  

I've never posted on here and probably won't again but I was disgusted with what I witnessed on Saturday night. These fans should be ashamed of themselves for verbally abusing the Warrington team with the most sickening tirade I have ever heard, yet you call yourselves fans, isn't it interesting that these so called "fans" had absolutely no consideration for the families and children around them when they were directing their disgusting rants towards the Warrington team. My own eight year old son was so frightened by you people that he felt too intimidated to move from his seat that he nearly wet his pants - he now refuses to attend another match at the ground again, I wonder how many other families and children you put off ever attending games in future - I hope you are proud of yourselves!!

Verbal abuse isn't going to make the Warrington team suddenly decide to play better for us is it? why not be the defination of a fan and support the team no matter what happens or do you only cheer when we are winning?

You're a disgrace!!!

Email the club and tell them where you were sat and then tell them where they were sat and have them do something about it.

100% agree.


proper fans would stick by the team no matter what and try to give the team some confidence back.

i'm not defending the performance, even i was angry by that, but booing and abusing them won't help.

leave if your not happy.................... i did

don't abuse them.. that'll get em all psyched up for wakefield.. full of spirit...not!

Without getting into the 'true fan' debate, I've never understood those who boo/abuse their own players. It's hardly going to flick a switch in, say, Matt King's head and make him think "Gee, I really wanna up my game for these guys", is it?
People will jump up with "we pay our money, we have the right..blah blah", but did Simon Moran personally come to your house, hold a gun to your head and force you to pay?

If you think paying x amount of money gives you the right to watch a world beating team, Headingley is accessible in under 90 minutes if you catch the m62 at the right time.
Yes I was upset with the result on saturday, no I wasn't happy that twice in two weeks we've a) thrown away a lead and b) conceeded 20+ unanswered points in the second half.
Is booing going to help anything? Is calling Briers, King, Monaghan all the names under the sun going to immediately change the season's fortunes? Not a jot.
If you don't like what you're watching, don't watch. If you have vast amounts of coaching experience, why not email a CV to the club and seek a place on the coaching staff, or ask for consideration should a position become available.
If, however, you simply can't handle a combination of beer and losing, please stay away from families and young 'uns. Many people often take little 'uns to matches, they're not going to want to come back to that sort of atmosphere, either, are they? In fact, stay away from the ground for a while, because, unfortunately, a shiny new ground and some financial backing does not instantly grant anyone 'big club' status, nor does it bring instant success. (see Manchester City.)

HERE HERE

A proper thread for a change!!!!

If unhappy leave at the hooter don't clap or boo ( i never do ), i personally don't think these players care about the abuse they receive!!!!!
It most certainly aint going to make them try any harder, getting behind them surely will!!!!

We are not far off at all and rather than getting on their backs with the anger and venom lets get behind them with the same vocal support and try to give them a boost!!!!!

I know we have been there for years and getting fed up with the same false promises but come on keep the faith and watch us rise!!!!!

IT WILL HAPPEN

I thought the East stand was the family stand? Surely the people being abusive must have had family around them?

I agree, the true fans are the sunshiners, let's all accept mediocrity

What is the score with that? I know when the stadium was first built they said they would create a family atmosphere in that stand, and have activities and entertainment based around the stand, yet there has been no trace of that as far as I know.

i do believe the "the family stand" should be free of bad language, my 8 year old is used to it in the west stand but folk choose the east to avoid such behaviour..
