Most of my recollections of Wilderspool are pre drumming 1970's (prior to moving away from NW) and maybe its my P&B spectacles, but, there seemed to be an edge, especially in big games. Maybe its an age thing, an era thing, or my memory playing tricks, but, there was plenty going on.

Drummer types do have a particular bizarre, arrogant attitude towards other fans, and it's not just a Warrington thing. You see the same on the Leeds, Wigan, even Salford forums where anyone who doesn't want to go home with a headache is automatically calling for complete silence.

Of course, on the Wigan forum they've got a bit more of a point because if you hang out near the Ultras you're likely to end up with 'S2' aerosolled onto your clothes by urchins in cherry and white balaclavas.

Sometimes yes. And a library had more people in it.

Can see drums etc in the SE corner being as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit to some sat at the southern end of the East Stand. Unlike their counterparts in the South, they do not have the option of moving to another part of the stand if they want to protect their eardrums. Even worse if they're a season ticket holder!

SE corner drums sounds like a bloody good idea. Well done

Yeah but that sort of behaviour is going to be 'sorted' by the rest of them - Frontier-style.

You've got a short memory Mr Moore, Wire v Wigan, 2001, I seem to remember us dancing on the tables in the Library. Now that was an atmosthere

Did you read that whole thread? I found it a real page-turner.

Ultra goon: 'Fear not, the Ultra posse are self-policing and we will stamp out any misdemeanours among our number. Anyway, the guy that carried out the vandalism wasn't one of ours.'
Normal Wigan fans: 'If it wasn't one of yours, how will you stop it happening?'
Ultra goon: 'Errr... aww, shut up! Anyway, here's a couple of photos from the Bradford City fire.'

best bit was the explanation of why they are waving flags around with skulls on .... apparently 'the skulls symbolise support from beyond the grave'.... you couldn't make it up.

I will take whatever instruments you can throw at me in the south east corner!!!
I just dont want anybody near me from pondlife corner!!!!

Are you saying a skull and crossbones isn't a respectful way of honouring Wigan fans sadly departed?

Rogues will be on in a minute to tell us to come to the next meeting and see what they do. You have to bring your own spraycan though.

Listen to this man.
