So would you, or whoever it was, cover your face on cold days whilst out shopping? I was there too and it wasn't exactly Baltic.
It does look intimidating IMO and I assume many many others agree, which is a shame as the whole flags/atmosphere things is great and doesn't need that image.
The way I see it, for what it's worth is either:
1. You actually quite like the image. If so, fine. Just say so.
2. You don't care what image it gives you or the group. Again fine, just say so.
3. You genuinely don't think it looks intimidating. Like a previous poster said though, if I saw a wire fan like that it would give off a certain image of him, whether rightly or wrongly. Basically looks like the chavs from riots last year.

Folk are obviously entitled to wear what they like however they like. Just a shame for image of a good group, both brigantes and Wigan RLFC generally.

To be fair, when Wigan scored a try in the first half and the ticket roll was thrown to celebrate, one actually hit my husband on the head and cut it open, so maybe loo roll is safer option next time!

just don't use that polished shiny stuff, nasty paper-cuts. But thinking about it, that stuff came in boxes. Much more aerodynamic

Not bad Mr R, thanks.

I have started living life away from the internet after being christened Virtual Abe by none other than Mr Pemps.

Madeline helped me escape . . .

Your lad has also got the same treatment.
