We dont need to make a silly group up to say were better fans than you cos we sing and wave flags.........plus IMO thats a younger generations thing, in our main singing group the ages range from 15 ish right up to .....well whatever Greyman is these days

Some of them are not the type to partake in that kind of stuff but do enjoy singing for the team.

The main problem is and always has been the lack of people who join in the singing in any of the stands.
plus the try music is crap GET RID !! the best atmosphere at home games came immediately after scoring and the next couple of minutes after that because people were on a high but now the music comes in straight away and people just sit down when it starts .....if your reading this RHP....please put a stop to it , this isn't Odsal 2000 it wont work here !!

Knock the concept all you like Daz, but they are the loudest fans that come to our place every year, somethings working, i like the concept, cant see us ever having "ultras" but getting a group together in one spot is a start.

I'm not knocking it , its worked for Wigan and fair play to them i was basing my point on what i know of our fans.....cant really see some of the people in our fanbase stood up waving flags singing lower division football songs etc....half of them hardly raise a smile when we score.

we do have a group in one spot but the problem there is no one joins in with the singing etc.

Nothing to do with the age of people Daz. All the active people in the group are 20+, some over 30.

The proof is in the pudding. You don't have to call yourselves ultras. We chose to adapt that model, it is a scene which we like and we are emulating some of the style from europe.

We don't sing lower division football songs either, many of the songs are inspired from mainland europe and south america.

Anyway, you don't have to be called ultras.... just form a group to get the singers together as one and add noise and colour to the stadium.

I can honestly say I don't know a single Wigan fan who thinks they are better than the rest. This is just a made up statement.

We don't think we are better at all, we support the team in the way WE want to. People are welcome to join in or they are welcome to do their own thing.

the music after a try needs to stop..... like someone has just said it kills the usual chant that we do after we score ending with 'GIANTS'....now we have some trying to do that traditional chant and the rest going half hearted with 'we all hate leeds' rubbish..this has only started this season and spoling the atmosphere

on BIG G i think he is doing ok with his drum.

in an ideal world the singers in the two stands would be merged and in the middle of the stand half way down...but it isnt going to happen so we have to go with what we have got ...just need more to join in

I sit in the lower third of the BR stand pretty central with my family ranging from grandad to grandson and they all get up for the singing and chanting problem being we are few and far between down there! We see far more people sat clapping when a try is scored rather than jumping in jubilation of it! Would love to get people up and excited!

Singing should be band.

I was only joking

Bit late to this thread but...I sometimes join in the singing, but my singing days are done and now Im more into watching the game really.

That said, the singers at the back might have had something to do with it on Sunday, by just going on and on and on and on with "Nathan Browns Claret and Gold Army".

First off, its sounds terrible and doesnt scan properly
Secondly, its a boring song
Thirldy, It sounded off because it doesnt scan
Fourthly, it went on too long.

Normally I am glad to hear the singing and chanting, but on Sunday after this I was just glad when you shut up for a bit.

i honestly dont see what is wrong with that chant, and the whole point of the chant is to go on for a long period like what the barmy army is set out for

It annoyed the hell out of me on Sunday is whats wrong with it.

Pretty pointless exercise seeing as only about 7 of us tried it, so I don't think you'll have to suffer it
again.

Nathan Browns Claret and Gold Army...

Nathan Browns Claret and Gold Army

that chant was abit daft right at the very start of the game... usually start that one up later on in a game
