Too many rules in the ground. No swearing, no gestures, no standing on the yellow lines. It's killed the fun that used to be the game. You're scared to say anything now incase you're reported to a steward. I'm all for it being a family game and protecting children from bad language and aggression but it is a major factor for killing the atmosphere I think. Maybe there should be a section of the south for families? Or make the north east a family section? that way if you do decide to take children into the standing then you know the risk you are taking. Just an Idea.'"
so let me get this straight... not being aloud to shout swear words, make obscene gestures and block the walkways has 'killed the fun'.... and you're all for 'protecting children from bad language and aggression'... and your suggestion on how to 'fix' this obvious problem is to have a part of the ground where 'swearing, obscene gestures and blocking the walkways is ALLOWED.
Great idea..... have you thought about writing to the club ?

Exactly the reason there should be a family section, like many grounds in the UK. I don't mean fighting or anything like that but what i mean is you're scared to do anything in fear of the fun police these days

| Did anyone of this thread go to the Swinton match tonight? If you did you might have noticed the Whitehaven fans (a particular group of about 20 lads) showing the way to do it. No drums. No foul language. No abusive chants or threatening behaviour. But boy were they noisy! Didn't stop singing and chanting all through the game and you could see the players appreciated it.

| I always find good away support raises any atmosphere as the challenge on the pitch is taken up on the terraces. What's the away support like in SL it's poor in the championship now

No what I'm saying is that if there was a family section then families would not be subjected directly to foul language ect. I'm not saying we should have a firm and go round kicking off and abusing the opposition. all I'm saying that IMO its the little things the club do that go a long way in killing the game atmosphere
Yes you would think so, however Wigan at home last season their fans put us the shame as did saints this season. Dead as a door nail the HJ

| Just need as many people in that new corner as possible. The more join in and sing the better the atmosphere will be. I hope word gets around and we do attract some people to the corner. But then on the 20 metre line where we were surrounded by 12 year olds who are on their fones for the whole 80 minutes. And i definately agree that people go there to let off some steam so if they want to shout and scream as long as there are no punches and racism then it should be allowed.

| I don't understand this fascination with 'atmosphere' at matches.
Surely the most important thing is the rugby match itself?
I don't go to a match to sing or bang a drum. I go to watch a rugby match.

| Adds to the experience. Some people want to sit and watch in silence, clapping when we score with a nice boveril and a prawn sandwich. (Imagine that?)
And there are those who want to get behind the team, showing support to them, drink, blow away all the e from work you've had all week, Yanno... Have fun

weird isnt it..... some people want to shout, swear and act in an aggressive way.
apparently, if you cant do these things... there's no fun to be had... INFACT by trying to stamp these things out, the club are 'killing the fun'.
you couldn't make it up.

| Exactly that's what some want to do at the match. We think you're killing the fun by just sitting there. there is no right and wrong really.

I think this thread has really missed the point on what’s happening in the new corner. If we can take our minds off the drum for a second, I have reposted what we're trying to do and what’s happening. I hope this will shed some light on the situation and will help you understand what is going on.
I have got together with a few other people who were fed up with the flat match day experience, at the Halliwell Jones. We created a Facebook page got about 60 people to join and started throwing around ideas of what we can do to improve the experience at home games. So we decided to move to the corner where people can see us all around the stadium.
We don't want to be referred as a group or gang. We would prefer to have the fans unified as one. We didn't want to become some eastern European ultras group, which people would cringe at. We want to create something, which the fans and the club would be proud of. Now we have moved, we need more people to join us and help us improve. We're not expecting this to happen over night, nor are we expecting it to be an instant hit with every single fan, but the only way this will work is if more people get behind us. At the Bradford game we had about 30 people move to the corner but it’s not enough. We need people to come over to the corner and get behind the team and get behind us. Anybody is welcome, just watch the game and enjoy yourself. We're not a bunch of childish chavs, which some of you on here seem to think we are. We're just loyal Wire fans with a passion for rugby league.
For more information about what’s happening with the 'Reclaim the Zoo movement' (as some people are calling it) then ask to join this Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/117198151807628/ you will be able to see what’s happening and give us suggestions on what you think will help us.
