City fans are turning round to look for their inflatable bananas.Carts!

I wonder if this started out because the Warriors and Tics were try to compete with each other ?

In answer to the question, all we sing to the Poznan is "Let's all do the Poznan".

I was on the train to the Notts County game when a few other Blues persuaded the conductors to do the Poznan. Surreal.

the other day it was long after the night is all over, and now its just laughable! lol

and does anybody else find it funny that the op cant even spell POZNAN!

I like the idea of making the stadium more colourful, commend the effort but at the end of the day, flags don't sing, clap, chant.

Can I ask a serious question. Who honestly really cares if the Wigan fans are trying to make their all-round experience more colourful? So what if they're using a name that's synonymous with scumbag behaviour? The way I see it, so long as I can still go to the DW Stadium and not end up being fearful of getting a kicking for no other sin than simply not supporting their team, then I actually don't give a *£$%

That's a bold quote fella .........

The last time i sat in the kop the players came out to us all singing along to a record played over the pa

Normally i don't do artificial PA music but it was such a catchy tune i couldn't help myself

Now let me look at your other post talking about irony

hear hear! i agree 100%

Me. Wigan fans are bell ends, they're arrogant and forever banging on about how good they are. First it was the 18th man crap, now this Ultras rubbish just adds to the mockery. It's more than just 'making the stadium colourful' and you know it is. If it was just that, they'd make flags and take them to the ground and that would be that, but they don't, they give themselves a tag, 'Ultras', the tag football fans use to describe the nutty supporters, the type of supporter that is generally intimidating.

If we had a group of supporters that named themselves the 'Warrington Ultras', I would expect the p*ss to be taken out of them, as that's what rival fans generally do, it's banter.

I guess I'm in the minority then because I label fans as being bellends when they actually act like bellends, not when they are simply trying to drum up a bit of activity within their own fan base and aren't bothering other teams' fans with whatever they're doing. I wasn't even aware of the 'Ultras' thing until it was pointed out in this thread.

The bell end aspect is the Ultra part. Everyone can be supporters and brighten things up, but Wigan have to go the extra yard. I remember the big banner we used to pass across the south, (not been this year so can't say if it's still there) which brightened things up and people seemed to like, but we never named ourselves the Ultras. Maybe it's just me, but I see the flag thing as pro-active and positive, but I see the Ultras thing as egotistical and something that should be mocked.

Each to their own then.

Yeah the big flag thing ... I could be wrong but I think that got it's debut at the first magic weekend in Cardiff. Quite liked it back then. I've been enjoying it less and less though as it gets smellier and smellier - the last time I remember it going overhead it absolutely reeked
