If you really think that, then the Club will certainly steer clear of you, in fact they will actively discourage you. Using foul and abusive language is a criminal offence. Do you really think that the Club is going to encourage that?

There is no right or wrong way



im fairly sure there is.

going the game with your family, sitting down and supporting your towns rugby side is 'killing the fun'...... that's a novel idea. its certainly not one ive come across before.

I used to stand in the middle of the Fletcher End when I was still at school and thoroughly enjoyed the noise and atmosphere. Probably joined in as much as the next person. Mind you, drums hadn't been invented back then.

Perhaps I used to think the pensioners in their sky blue, three-wheeled, Reliant Robins parked up at the side of the pitch underneath Legends were spoiling my afternoon by not joining in the singing. But I don't remember. Maybe that's another sign of growing older.

Nowadays though, I enjoy the rugby much, much more from the relative comfort and civility of a seat and my wife and daughter simply wouldn't attend after their one and only experience of the South Stand.

I hope you remember this thread as you grow older/mature as it seems you're suggesting you'll be effing and jeffing, jostling for a position close to a drum and perhaps standing on a yellow step whilst having a crafty fag for the duration of your support for the club.

Enjoy your rugby. I do.

Isn't that the point, you, I and many others enjoyed their time on the Fletcher End and if some want to recreate that match day experience then that's upto them surely?

There's far too much negativity as far as I can make out. 'They' don't seem to be saying join in with the band, or get a drumstick around the back of your earhole, rather we want to make some noise we are in the corner if you're like minded then it's open house join in....hardly a crime?

You have taken a strategic decision and excercised your right to move to a more comfortable spectating vantage point more suited to your current needs, or perhaps you feel that this move has been forced on you?

There is choice and whilst I might take the decision not to join the people in the corner, neither would I deny them the right to give it a go, within the bounds of reason.

I'll stick on the 40 and enjoy my rugby happy in the knowledge that as "I hear the sound of distant drums" others are enjoying their rugby too.

No there isn't

Excellent FMC

Really we have a lot to be thankful for, we should all be enjoying our 'moment in the sun', (the yellow thing not the paper before anyone starts)

Now the Wire!!

I think we're in agreement!

Not got a problem with the younger and more vociferous element of the fan-base wanting to have a good sing-song. Just wanted to point out to him that he too should understand why not everybody will be joining in.

personally think its a great idea! remember before the corners were filled in and everyone said that the atmosphere wasn't there because it was 'leaking out'. and 'when the corners are filled the atmosphere will be better.' I think it has got quieter.

i like the idea of having a section of people that want to sing and create the atmosphere (it isn't going to create itself.) I for one will be joining them and lets hope that this gets going as an atmosphere is part of the experience aswell.

I don't like the harking back to wilderspool but the one thing i remember was walking over bridgefoot and it getting louder and louder you could hear the stadium from town centre. you cant hear the HJ from sat outside!

Could not agree more with the last post. Thanks for the suppor pal. See you in the new corner

What is the right way then? sitting down/standing (whichever it is you do) might be your idea of the right support but not to others. What makes your way the right way?


Killing the fun as in the fun atmosphere we used to have. Instead of the library we have now. We're almost as bad as old trafford

not allowing swearing, threatening behavior, shouting abuse and blocking the walkways isnt 'my way'.... its the clubs way and its the law.

Thats what makes it the right way.

Its really not that difficult to understand.

I have found the right level of support these days is a truss.

Chaz, that really is beneath you!!

Meanwhile over on the Turkey, their "This Sunday" thread has turned into 'debate' nearly as long as this one about whether its acceptable to wear a jester hat along the lines of " jester hats!! what next, drums? we're classy Salford not mongy Warrington"

You just couldn't make it up. May I suggest that we all get a grip? Afterall, we don't want the 'classy' Salford fans laughing at our painted faces

Very good, it really is beneath me.

I also saw the 'jester hat debate' on the other channel and was having a quiet laugh to myself, and then I remembered a fashion thread on here last year................

I would suggest that instead of drums we have a String Quartet. Absolute class.

I think that would be very uplifting.

Worked to some extent on the Titanic I guess...

Flutes, we definitely need more flutes maybe even an Aeolian harp.

I don't think it went down very well.



I have to say that I quite enjoy the drums, but it looks as though I am in a minority of one. What I hate is the music from the loudspeakers, it drowns out everything. It means nobody on the field can benefit from my coaching remarks, sometimes it is so loud even the guy standing next to me is unable to hear my accumulated wisdom on the finer points of rugby league.

I do enjoy the chanting, but it only seems to kick off now when we play Wigan ( "we can see you sneaking out... We can see- eeh you sneaking out"icon_wink.gif or Saints. I think to be honest we have all got a bit lazy and couldn't be bothered to chant anymore.

Even though I joined in that particular howler of a thread, in my defence my offerings were tongue in cheek.

You are better off having a quiet laugh over there, as there are some funny flockers on the turkey board. They call us "mongy" you respond then they call you "smug"...God help us if they start winning and if they do please not "This Sunday"

This is what we have been missing.

instead of BARMY ARMY we could have the MERRY MEN.. bringing you such songs as

'you're going home in a horse drawn carriage'
'the famous wigan rugby went to camelot to see king arthur'
'when i was just a little urchin'

"Three cheers for the harpsichord and flute...hip hoorah"

That will show those rapscallion opposition supporters

We're full of bosoms, the virtue of a lady and the Wire, oh warrington is wonderful

HURRAH
