no probelem mate. teach your mates them, we'll soon have everyone singing them

yeh gotto. hopefully it will be betta atmosphere against bradford should hand out words to songs on turnstiles make sure everyone knows the songs lol

yeah well people will sing anyway against bradford because they see it as a 'bigger' game than crusaders. it's quite appaling tbh how people turn up with their vocebox in tact one game, but the next one they just stand there with their arms folded nodding along with the songs

we needs atmosphere like against wigan every match. lost my voice for a few days after but gotta sing every match

exactly, wigan was brilliant. we just need everyone to turn up every game. can't wait for the atmosphere against saints though, i get shivers down the spine just thinking about it

Alot depends on away fans and the game itself. The atmosphere was so good against us because it was a full house, and a great game. We were making loads of noise which gave you reason to.

yeah fair point. but the atmosphere still needs to be good against every team as the team probably needs the lift in the 'lesser' games as they need to know that those matches matter to our fans just as much as wigan and saints. got to give credit to crusaders supporters today though, they brought about 500 and made a bit of noise. arguably louder than the south stand in some parts haha

.....I've heard it all now....Handing out feckin leaflets for all the numptys to take home and do some homework...

Oh dear.

Mr Parrot, just out of curiosity, how old are you??

As if i'm going to tell you. Why at any chance do you tend to laugh at ppl. Whats wrong with people writing the lyrics of song's down if it encourages more support and egtting behind my team then so be it.

here here

I was hoping you would reply about 14 or 15, so it would at least give you a reasonable excuse for your rather worrying behaviour..... Unfortunately, I reckon you are in your 30's, and are struggling to grasp real life...

Worrying behaviour? Do explain. What's worrying is you slagging off people trying to support there team.

who do you support mr angry pirate?

Not wire by the sounds of it

well if he is a wire fan he's got a rather funny way of showing it

Haha, a pirate picking an argument with a parrot, ironic huh!!

haha i didn't notice that

seems to me he's either lost his vocie or stuck for words.

yep thank god for that

Why do we have to rely on the drum to get us singing? We managed for years and years without a drum. Are we not capable of sining without it?

I personally like the drum at games but if we have to rely on that to start singing we have a problem.

The atmosphere today was exactly as expected. If anyone thinks that the atmosphere for a game v Crusaders was going to be anywhere the same as for a game v Wigan/Saints then people are going to be very disappointed.

There are a number of contributing factors that influence the atmosphere at the game, not least

1. the history between the 2 clubs
2. as Odemwingie ( I cant believe i'm saying this) rightly stated the noise generated by the away following
3. even the kick off time. For me most of the games with the best atmospheres kick of in the evening, not in the afternoon.

It cannot be artificially generated with song sheets. Its about passion and what you feel at the time.

Im a 40 year old supporter. I didnt sing a word today but a fortnight ago against Wigan I sang myself ho.

I would guess there are a fair few like me.

The reason, history, tradition, passion of the fixture

I have no memories of Crusaders games, i have no feelings for them one way or another, no reasons yet to overly dislike them ( other than the fact they are not Warrington RLFC )

Now with Wigan on the other hand, I carry a trunk full of memories and passion - some good,some sad. There is a big difference

And dont get me started about Saints - turn them over in a fortnight and you'll hear me singing ( and sobbing) back in Warrington.

All we could hear was 1 lad at the back shouting 'WIRE' and his mates all joined in with 'WOOOOOOOO'

was funny tho as the game went on more people joined in with 'WOOOOOOOO'

For mine, the biggest reason for the lack of atmosphere at the HJ is the layout of the stadium. Alot of people like me grew up standing in the Fletcher Street. I tried a few games in the South Stand as I like singing but I struggled to watch from the side of the pitch. So I moved into the East where I see alot of familiar faces both from our Wilderspool days, and current away days where we all mass up in one section of our opponents stadiums.

To add to the above point, the South stand is alot more spread out than Fletcher Street which results in little pockets of singing areas, normally on opposing ends (the drummers at the screen side, and the fans that like taunting the away support at the other).

So If the standing section of the HJ was in the East Stand for home support only, although less in numbers due to less space, the noise would be louder as its more compact & more people that sing would be closer together.
