Other clubs don't even need the flags, merchandise, meetings etc. but maybe just a group of fans who get together to sing.

Looking at the south stand, there is a couple of groups throughout the stand but they are never doing the same thing. If all the people who wanted to sing were in the same place then it would work very well IMO.

Much like at our place, plenty of people want to sing and start songs but they are all spread out. If our regular group of away fans were all stood together then we could have a great atmosphere at home games.

What I don't understand is why people revolt over it so much. It's not like we're going round in hooded tops kicking people to death after the game and launching flares on to the field. It has been clearly set up to improve the atmosphere and bring some more fun into the game. This was clearly proved on Sunday. With 15 minutes to go when the drum was rolling you just knew what was coming and then everyone picked up and didn't care about the result. Well Done!

The problem from my perspective is that it drowned out our 'We can see you sneaking out' song which was particulary hurtfull as we'd been practicing that all week.
And to compound matters, our rousing rendition of 'Top of the league, your having a laugh' was barely audible.
Frankly I dont think that was fair and definately not in the spirit of the Chanting & Naughty Songs Act 1957

I am not one to go to games in a big group, attended the game on sunday with my daughter and the atmosphere that was generated in the West stand did take the focus off the on pitch debacle. I don't think that you need to apologise for enjoying yourselves.

I dont go in for Pie hating, I was brought up in Wigan, I go along with the long held theory that the game needs a good Wigan side. But with that most famous club in the world tag comes responsibility and its not been on show since Maguire took charge.

Of course one thing not mentioned by Wire fans, is that your self indulgent chanting spoiled what was in effect our last game fixture of the season at home, and therefore a point of celebration of the years efforts by our team. I tried to have a conversation with my wife and kids by the pitchside after the game and was effectively driven off by loud overbearing singing.

Your undertsandable support for your team, was as you all know, also a show of disrespect to our team and supporters that just beat your team, it was a loud and annoying thumbing your nose at us, as well as supporting your team, and that's what gets people goat and has caused much comment and that's why it deserves some stick.

Wait till the Crusaders start their 'Welcome in the hillside' song on Friday evening, over and over again, you'll be running for the pier to throw yourselves off it !
Sing by all means but do it on your own soil, not really in the spirit of our game, which is starting to be the default position Wigan is adopting these days.

Sorry, couldn't hear you rant over my singing...what did you say?

uh????????????? what part of the ground were you in? lol- having seen the highlights on t-v-believe me-your fans faces told the story!!!!

That then poses the question, what part of the ground were you in?

You're new here aren't you

So let me get this straight. Sounds like Wigan fans supported their team and had a great time. Sounds like Wire fans supported their team and had a great time. Awesome!

God knows why fans have to bang on about being 'the very very best in the land', it's pathetic and childish!

I came to only my third game of the year as I now live in Edinburgh, and had an absolutely brilliant time. I brought my Scottish girlfriend along and she is now firmly converted from Yawnion!

You saved her! Well done sir!

Cheers, was touch and go for a minute, but I took her to the Scotland v Wales 6N game, and then to the Wire games v Leeds and Wigan and there really was only one winner!

Risky move, that could have finished both of you off, great amount of dedication shown!

Tell me about it, believe it or not, that was a Valentine's Day treat from me!

Sorry to hear that.

yup! many more posts to come though!

I wouldn't bank on it.

Do you want a bluepeter badge for that

images of fans faces really do tell the full story of support on that day don't they



Next time we're losing we'll remember to smile like a cheshire cat

whilst doing the Dale Cavese just for you!

I left soon as I flippin could ! Like most sensible people, You poor sods !

But then become strangely obsessed with our forum after getting out so quick?
Hmmmm

opps!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I consider it missonary work.
Im generous like that.

cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
