Our seats were on the very back row! There was no way I could walk up to them after already climbing up about 20 steps just to get to the seating area. There aren't any lifts & I wasn't the only one to suffer.
I asked the chief security fella how was I supposed to get up there? He looked at my ticket took one look at me & just said 'no, no! You sit there' which was the front row. He then waved his arm to indicate the whole of the block I was in & the next block saying 'no reserved seating'!
Almost everyone sat where they wanted with no falling out & no bother ????
You need a lift ticket at OT Josie, as you probably Know? I asked them to finally remove my details and stop mithering me from a situation when Madge was coach.
You're lucky you didn't get told to go away cos we are not in Europe anymore and you're Johnny Foreigner!

Edinburgh warrior I think I saw this group being abusive and assume it was you, they were bang out of order and how one of you never grabbed hold of the younger one with the sunglasses on I will never know.

Were they the same bunch of tossers who ran onto the pitch after the final whistle?

He was the one with the mouth
Believe me it was a struggle to prevent my lad facing them up after the name he called me and the Irish lady in our group. He probably didn't care about the names i was getting called (ha ha ha) but there was no way he was having a lady spoken to like that. It really stuck in my throat walking away from them but taking them on would have served no purpose and caused grief for all the decent Wigan fans around about us .It would have spoiled what was a fantastic weekend.

I think you might be very close to the mark with that assumption.

You've all done well by walking away and not kicking off EW, that to me is true rugby league supporters.
The scum element needs removing from our game, which I don't think is helped by retaliation in the terraces.
I think you've done the right thing EW, by reporting the incident which will hopefully get followed up with the scum bags identified.

Crowd I was with recognised them as known trouble makers. Especially the one the steward caught at the barrier and tipped him arse over. I believe he also attended the Euros for the same reason!

Agree with all comments re Sutton, Isa and whole team. Gildart worth a mention too, not just for his superb try, but he's gone from promising youngster to the real deal IMO.
