| Quote ="Jimmy Birts Lives On"Membership down? Where are you getting that information from? There are 150-200 people behind those banners seen in the photo. The banners were 10 rows down from the back. The core of the group has grown from 5 or 6 last year to about 25-30. Those are lads who are constantly involved, not just faces you see at most games. That's the core. The number is doubled most weeks and at your game it was 150-200. That's progress for us, not a dwindling movement as you put it.
And the name hasn't changed. We never dropped the Ultras tag. It's just before Brigantes we didn't have a name for the group.
I'm also curious as to why it's suddenly embarressing and cringeworthy again when you've sent me a PM in the past praising the idea and saying that you wish Wire would do the same. If it's jealousy mate, just say so.'"
I believe I said that I wished there was better support for Warrington home games, as there are many who just go to stand and read texts or talk through matches. I would embrace a more organized support at Warrington. However, the adoption of a hooligan name and the constant dick measuring and testicle showing that seems to emanate from Odem and, to a certian extent, you, I would not embrace. In the grand scheme of sport the 'Wigan Ultras' are small potatoes and in rugby league they are as vocal and fanatic as the 10 away fans Huddersfield get and the 2-5000 Away Warrington get. It is just you have flags and an inflated ego.
I do apologize about the numbers mistake though. I had heard from some that numbers were down a while ago. I don't venture into your board more than 1 or 2 times a month. I am glad to see it is a success and increased numbers and support is great for the sport. However, as much as I applaud the sentiment, the execution has left a lot to be desire from me, personally.
I hope I have clarified.

I think your friend Dropkick Murphy would disagree, when you won the league leaders against us last year your celebrations were muted all through the second half by the Wigan end, when we were 20+ points behind!

For a start, there isn't its made up of lads from the age of 16-45. As thats already been stated, them flags were situated about 13 rows down from the back of the stand so unless you can see through the banners you couldn't possibly see who's behind them on the picture.
And how would you know anyway? You've met everyone have you?

Yeah and Jimmy Brit sent me a PM saying I am amazing in every way and that the Ultras are poo-poo heads.
You should really verify what has been said before you jump to conclusions.
Luckily for you... I did clarify. So the only 'bum banging' here is from you.
But whatever, if you can't sleep without acknowledgement from every person who has ever seen a rugby ball, supporting that the 'ultras' are the best support in any sport, group or anything; you are soooooo fanatical and were are alll soooo super jealous. Now go back to spray painting toilet walls, waving flags so no one can see what they paid for and hitting opposition fans.

It wasn't really. If you think it was it is sad.
I admit you were vocal (as every away support that comes to the HJ is) but we were not muted.

If you would actually look at what my original post said, it was that I think Wire could benefit from something similar. Similar to what your PM said. No need to get all aggressive and @rsey

As somebody has pointed out earlier on in this tedious thread, wire fans used to regurlarly outsing teams when we were getting a pasting. I've seen us get numerous beatings at the hands of wigan or saints, but the singing and atmosphere has always been good. In fact, the away end was rocking all the way through the night we got drubbed 80-0. I don't walk away from those games however, thinking 'wow we fans were great in there tonight'. I am more concerned about the result and it seems that certain wigan fans are only bothered about the atmosphere they create and if that's good then they can boast about that regardless of the scoreline. Anyway, for what it's worth Hull fans create the best atmosphere and salford's away support, however small, is as vocal as anyone else.

| Shame you cant do it when it matters then isn't it. If you get chance to go to Manchester, Old trafford is the one with the 70,000 seats just off Sir Matt Busby way.

And the brand name of a well advertised jam-rag. Why anyone would name themself after a sanitary towel is beyond me.
On Friday evening the Pie Ultra's were as cringeworthy as watching the flag-waving Chelsea fans the previous week against Napoli.

There's a sweat shop somewhere in Billinge that exclusively produces flags.

| The flags on sticks are gay (especially the skull and cross bones one) but I quite like the flags across the top of the stand. Shame there's a lot just robbed from Man United fans though.

| For me it is always good to see people dedicated to raising the atmosphere, colour, noise and passion in the stands. What these Pie lads are doing is good.
However, I get the impression that they think they are the first people to ever do anything to ever improve any atmosphere anywhere and that they are the best and everyone else is some joke...and boy oh boy in typical Pie fashion do they like to make sure the whole world knows it "look at me, LOOK AT ME!" "how shiite are you, HOW SHIITE ARE YOU?!". It's quite annoying really. Why can't they just get on with what they're doing and enjoy it rather than ram it down people throats and getting kicks out of belittling others.
As someone else said earlier; for small numbers the Salford lads make as much noise as anyone in Super League (relative to how many are there), in full flow Leeds' South Stand is quite special (whether I like them or not), and Hull in front of a big crowd have the noisiest fans around...I don't see fans of their clubs ramming it down people's throats about how great they are and how everyone else is. But that just follows the trend Pie fans seem to have in every kind of conversation: trophies, success, stadium, crowd numbers, crowd noise, anything you'd care to mention...it's a serial and constant (and very tiresome) brag about it until everyone is bored to tears with them!
