We (myself and my daughter) sat in west stand for 3 years, eventually being bullied out, because most fans just want to sit and watch the rugby with no banter.

We have sat mainly at the front of the south stand since then (next4years), for last 3 matches only have been sitting at back of south stand.

Having now read all the post beining to end on this thread alot of the comment are in fact from the thick/ignorant/bigotted wigan supporters. Who the heck do you lot think you are?

I have read here, comments about the houses around the area. Let me remind you that they put up with the DW, people parking on their fronts, crowds etc. They where there a long time before us.
As for people saying lets weed out the people you dont like at the match, can i suggest if you cant get along nicely with others, and appreciate thier differences maybe it should be you who stops coming.
Seems to me that alot of the comments on this thread are by people who enjoy running others down, to make themselves look/feel better. Well it doesnt makes you loook like petty small minded people imo.

Recently there is a minutes silence before most matches for one reason or another. In ll the years I have attended the match it has been observed well. This time the running order was changed, and from personal expierience the tannoy was inaudible. A big mix up in communications. Thats what happened, nothing more, no need for a witch hunt.

For those saying they've had enough, and moving stands - heres my suggestion, do it! The south stand is a family stand, which yes means children, and teenagers also.

Cheers!

It wasn't so much about the "minute's silence" issues, which Mick concedes could have been managed better, but the general misbehavior of that small minority of [so-called] fans.

He's very keen on an element of self-policing (we were talking about the "old days" at CP, when they'd have got a "clip round t'earhole"!) to complement the clubs efforts. To some extent, it's a question of where to draw the line - we want to keep the atmosphere, but stop it getting so unpleasant that it puts people off. (having said that, we did agree that perhaps people who object to the noise might be better off in another stand...).

So..those of you who are normally in that area, please help the club out, either by having words with the offenders or passing on information/descriptions to the club.

Incidentally, on a similar subject, the guy from the Saints game who punched the steward has apparently been identified, and things are happening on that front.

Never heard racist chanting or the Watene one. One or two idiots blurting out something offensive at a game does not constitute a chant. There has been more damage done by folk stirring up that non-event than the moron who might have actually said it could ever wish to have done.

Underlined pretty much as I said earlier in the thread. As for the rest....oh for the days when you could clip someone round the ear!

think i am going to be moving to the side of the south for the next home game although i enjoy the singing and "chanting" i dont not want to be branded as a chav. there are some genuine supporters back there but seem to bring along 'friends' who couldnt give one about the game and seems to cause the bother. like at bradford away this season, havent seen that group of 'fans' recently, maybe the club have banned these?
