I wasn't expecting an atmosphere to be honest. I was in the North stand on the 40 nearer to the East Stand and couldn't hear the West stand more than two or three times with the slow build up to Oh when the Saints. Obviously there are mitigating factors, such as the opposition, the lack of familiarity and the cold but in general the fans need to do more. Whenever it got tight at KR the fans would give the team a lift and I'm sure there were a few games where the crowd pulled the players through and influenced the referee. I'm not convinced there will be enough noise at Langree for that. I suppose the acid test for atmosphere will come when we first sell out the East Stand to noisy away fans, so presumably that will be Wigan.

The blokes behind us were discussing just this at the Salford game. One of them had the theory that the noisy teens in the 'scaff' in the glory period in the 90s are now getting on into their 30s and no longer make any noise.

pmsl if you think that atmosphere was good you need your head testing, dont give me all this bull *warning 1* about it's cos of who you were playing, do you only sing in big games? you got dealt with of 200 Salford fans, b4 during and after the game deal with it,

and if you do only sing in against the big teams your a credit to your club

well thats something , some people in the Norh stand could hear us somem people couldnt seems to me thats exactly the same complaint we used to get at KR, some stands cant hear the other ive stood behind the stick at the restaraunt end and it was rocking singing chanting, and had people on the pop side complain they were the only ones singing , its all relative for what its worth apart froma couple of quiet periods the West stand was singing all night even if you couldnt hear us

I'm sure wires will have the place rocking when we come

Yes. We don't want to show up the fans of little clubs. We're nice like that.

I thought I was still *drunk* from last night when I read this!

This is coming from a fan of a club tha also has a brand new stadium in which they got 5000 fans at the opening of the stadium.

This coming from a fan who's team got best by a poor cas team on the opening night of their new stadium.

This coming from a club that booed their players off in the first ever game at their new stadium in a defeat to a debt ridden club like Leigh.

This coming from a team that also lost at their new stadium to Wigan..

Have you won there yet?

Listen pal, you've got much bigger problems than the atmosphere at Langtree park.

I thought the sound carried well compared to KR, which trapped it in each stand.

I thought this too. It seemed to echo around the ground.

Just watched the match now, and think the worst part of the new stadium is the HOOTER.

It really is a feeble, pathetic thing.

We need a proper hooter, get something off an old ship that can be heard for miles around, and which will wake the dead.

Warrington appear to be following Saints in uprating their food and drink offerings, which is good to see. www.warringtonwolves.org/tickle- ... -buds-5016 The more clubs realise the added value they can get from offering a decent food selection the more money they will actually make. This is something the yanks and Aussies have known for some time, but we in the UK seem to be only now catching up with.

The noise was fine, not jumping, but then most games are not jumping, ever been to Huddersfield away you get like 3 or 4 fartowns a match.

If you get a Derby up there then yeh it will be jumping, but sometimes it's about watching good rugby, venting a bit, occasionally singing. But Rugby is not my weekly sing a long. If I wanted a weekly sing along I'd join a choir not watch RL.

As for Saddened, he left his hearing aid at home hence why he could not hear even though he was sat closer than me and I could hear fine.

I think most of our fans were seething at the thought of your stadium compared to ours. Seeing that metropolis of wonder going up has been like a dagger through our hearts. I am currently scouring the Oxford Dictionary to find a word to describe its unbridled magnificence.

The chicken and mushroom were simply awful too. Skinny pies they were with about a square centimetre of mushroom and a couple of chicken shavings. It was basically just pastry and very dry at that. Won't be returning for another of those.
