What was up with the music though - such a depressing atmosphere - dim the lights and blare music over a pa

That's the nature of the solo guitarist though, I guess (picture Paul Simon on Widnes railway station writing Homeward Bound...no wonder he was depressed!

I'd be happy with just a dj (or anyone) playing some up-beat stuff (wonder if our matchday MC is up to spinning a few tunes?)

Anyone on here up for it? Surely Pop Pan has got some George Formby at home.....Paddock must have some Lady Gaga...would be an interesting musical mix if we all got to contribute

Yeah, Formby is a bit too "Wigan" for my liking

Would be an eclectic mix of tunes if we all turned up with our own musical preferences.

I am being a bit bloody minded yep, but yes i do get the point if the club do have "entertainment" on it should be advertised!
My point is if the post match entertainment is more important to folk than the actual rugby then its pretty sad, will we get more punters in coz we have a band on post match NOPE we will get more punters in when the results start going our way.
As for match day experience, it should be aimed more at making sure kids enjoy the day! No i dont bring any kids but if the kids enjoy it then they will want to come again
Should the players show there faces after the game! definatly! interaction with the fans is a brilliant way to get people attached to the club

In answer to the question, I have probably 40 rugby shirts and 15 to 20 of them are London/quins shirts etc
No i dont buy a program
No I dont join in with "football" chants!
And I sit where i get the best view of the game, but trust me i make a lot of noise

Players may well return to being "visable" after the game later in the season........I am led to believe.

Matchday at the Stoop for me was always roll up 15 minutes before KO, get a couple of beers in, find seat, watch game, 3 mins before half time, beer o'clock..second half, couple of beers after the game and hang around if the band are good or we have mates with us, otherwise leave about an hour after the game.....

I loved the atmosphere at Stripes in Brentford, but once the "jesters" presentation took place behind closed doors, another part of the community club feel dies IMO.

The after match party has always been commented on by away fans as a great thing....it should be used to attract people to the games.

After the Manly game in 2009, Mrs G overheard 2 aussie ladies conversing in the loos after the game.....
Stall 1: "Bloody Brilliant! Footie, beer and a great band....what else would you want from a night out"?
Stall 2: "Yeah, I know. Best night out in ages, we should do this again"

Yep, we come for the Rugby................ but we only come back if we've had a good time!

We used to fly down from Edinburgh for the Wigan match , race back to Heathrow and get back the same day . Not any more . Get down on Friday night get into the Stoop as early as possible on Saturday , usually a kids tournament on watch the match then have a good swally at the after match party , stagger into Heathrow late Sunday lunchtime .

Best away match "experience" of the season , one the Bronco's should be very proud of and use to their advantage .

Regards , EW

That's good to hear, EW and exactly why I have started this thread....I have heard so many good things from our away fans over many years (but there will be many that have never been here and don't know what to expect).

Like "Thanks for the 2 points"

I was going to say that but I thought "keep it positive"

I won't be needing to bring my George Formby CD then?

I was there for the Leeds game last year and stayed right through for the Rob Purdham race night with a handful of other Leeds fans - I live in London so it was easy enough for me to stay but I had no idea this was happening till I got there - many others would have already made travel plans back so couldn't. I had a great time all afternoon (apart from the match itself but thats a different story) in the bar and the players lounge but thats the first time I have aware anything like that goes on
