As you know, we're putting on a bit of a display before the game with the new large flags and other banners. We're doing this at the bottom of the South Stand (East side corner). We want to make it as impressive as possible and need helpers to fly the things for a start! A few of us are buying tickets in that lower block. If anyone else wants to join in, give 21-12 or myself a PM and we'll get the tickets together. Alternatively, if you don't want to sit there but are sat elsewhere in the South Stand that night and don't mind lending a hand before kick off then that would be great, let us know. I think we'll need at least 10-15 people involved but we could need more hands if more stuff is ordered or made by then.

We'll be planning the WCC display at a meeting to be arranged next month , probably at the Anvil. Get yerself down if interested in this type of thing.

Cheers

Lets ave it...!!

I expect nothing smaller than this.

People need to PM asap, tickets on sale Monday. Need at least 15 helpers to wave and hold up large banners. It WILL be the most spectacular site to ever be seen in RL I assure you, so if you want to be part of it get in touch,

Get involved then.

Should be something special, hope we get enough 'volunteers', need to have a word with a few off here on Saturday at the 'do' !!!!

I would love to help but I will have to see where my dad wants to sit. We normally go in the East.

I volunteer Ste, Matt and Rob

Fortunately I don't sit in the South, otherwise one or two flags might be inserted somewhere they were not designed for.........

I bet those fireworks before the Manly game were too damn noisy as well........

Now now, there is a world of difference and you know it!



That said there was one game (was it a final at Burnden Park?) where the smoke from the fireworks didn't clear for about 10 mins into the game. Could see Jack **** when the ball was on the opposite side of the field. Should have got a discount!

Kinky.

The flying of the flags is for the five minutes before the teams enter the pitch before each half.

Not much to 'miss' then is there. No doubt we will have the usual grumpy 'put your f**king flag down' remarks though, from't flatcappers behind us though.

bet your great fun at parties........

Yep I would be one of them tbh.

Maybe I would quite like to look at the crowd, pitch, see what's going on etc etc instead of having a flag stuck under my nose?

Then again if you all stick to a certain section, [u"maybe" [/u it's not a problem. Then again if people are forced to move seats then maybe it is a problem.

Problem with things like this is that whilst they provide entertainment for some, they could reduce the enjoyment of others.

give over, nothing goes on before the game anyway

"Nothing"?

I presume you mean that in your opinion, the spectators who are subjected to having a flag stuck under their noses are not entitled to object?

We all get different things out of going to a game.

The flags will be waved at the very front of the stand, in front of the front row, 5 minutes before the teams come out either half, whats the problem????? until stewards or the club inform us that they cannot be waved (which we already have permission to do) they will be waved.

Quite right, and if you want to complain to the club you have every right to do so.
Just like with the drums, if they decide to ban them then fair enough. If they don't then I guess someone sees it has "Benefits outweighs Negatives" scenario?

I'm pretty sure not you or anyone else will be having a flag "Stuck under their noses". Unless someone actually calls seeing a flag from 10/15mtrs away is having it "Stuck under their Nose".
I also assume if anyone doesn't like the music on offer at the game they can also complain about having Inaudible Noise Rammed down their ears?
I'm guessing that the club won't get too many complaints on that fron during the course of a season & I'd like a small bet they don't get many about the flags either?

Bearing in mind that all of the flags will be on the walkways at the Front of the Stand at least 5/10mtrs in front of the front row of seats then I'm guessing not many views will be obstructed and again as someone has said it will be up to a couple of minutes before kick off from say 15 mins before.
If anyone did want to see what was going on pre-match and they were blocked by the flags at the front then I'm pretty sure most sensible people could find a Workable solution, others could just moan about it and play the victim, that's their choice.

you must have one hell of a conk on you if your concerned about that! bearing in mind where they are actually being waved in the stand!

thats right nothing, unless you like the sight of the groundsman with a pitch folk walking over the pitch

I hope the club doesn't ban it. I'm already looking forward to it. Can't beat a good laugh to liven up a dark, miserable February evening.

And for all Warrington fans Emmerdale is on the other side.

I'm pretty sure the fans will take to it really well. Stop arguing over some bits of material. Anyone who does decided to complain clearly does not understand the awesome effort which has gone into this operation since last year.

I can understand if this was a SL weekly round against salford, but it is not.

This is the biggest game in the last 12 years a far as i am concerened. A game that will be viewed by RL fans in both hemispheres.

We have a chance to show the ENTIRE world of RL that WIgan fans are second to none.

The people on here that have sorted the whole flag / Ultras scene over the last 24(?) months or so deserve massive kudos for finally making the JJB feel like home. I am not saying that because i am one of them either, because i am not.

I will however be bringing my Vuvusela with. Hopfully you wont mind?
