Are home grown "hooligan" songs okay?

In my teens at Wilderspool I used to love "You're going home in a St John ambulance" and "It's a long way to Central station".

It's not as long a way to Central station as it used to be mind!

Songs are fine. (So long as they don't ooze with cringeworthy idiocy)

But the stuff Citeh fans are doing is laughable. The days of doing something 'original' are long gone, but, if we're to copy something, we do it the proper way. Sadly, I don't think we can get flares and an entire stand bouncing, nor do I believe we could come up with a decent chant to go with the madness. It's something generally only done on the continent, as the whole 'fan image' thing is massive over there, presenting themselves as hard and 'psycho' is something they love. That level of extreme support just doesn't exist in England, so trying to replicate it will only result in embarrassment.

see exhibit 1! WIGAN ULTRAS- or irregulars! either way its embarassing!

They'll be using flares next.

would be funny if they did and the flags caught fire! lol!

big lolz!

The Green Brigade (Celtic Ultras) have had a brilliant effect on their support. Wigan Ultras copied their banner so obviously they're aware of this, and therefore I fully expect "Just Can't Get Enough" to be the Wigan song of choice very soon.

The wigan ultras, are not trying to be like other teams from Europe. The reason for the flags, is to add a bit of colour to the DW, thats all.

you can round up a bit of dough for flags without labelling yourselves the ultras, a name synonymous with those teams in europe! surely you knew that putting such a name to it would be inviting the comparisons and laughter??

I love the immediate irony of my post being followed by the signature of the Wigan Ultra below it!

Quality. Nice on DM.

Well you are hardly 'Ultras' if you are just adding a bit of colour with flags. You are, effectively, RL's version of Chelsea fans. The use of the word 'Ultra' immediately makes it out as though you're trying to be European 'soccer' fans. If you don't want that tag being stuck with Wigan, simply don't call yourselves Ultras, just call yourselves fans.

I saw a comment from Odemwingie on their board that, according to him, Aris fans from Greece, are the best in the world, apparently.
