In addition, the supporters have set up a group to improve the atmosphere at both home and away games, known as the Wigan Brigantes. The group started by erecting flags across the South Stand gantry at the DW Stadium, beginning with 12 at the start of the 2010 season and has steadily grown since then. The group's banner has the phrase "Long After Tonight Is All Over" as a nod to the Jimmy Radcliffe song that was a staple of the Wigan Casino club during the Northern Soul era, and to show their rivals that their support will continue well after the final whistle has sounded. This is particularly true of some of Wigan's away games during the 2011 season where their fans have often stayed well over half an hour after the final hooter singing to the tune of "Dale Cavese".
