No I dont see a problem with the south stand at all, the stewrds have thrown the occasional person out, yes - but that is to be expected. They are not coninually running up and down the stairs. We as supporters are all ready videoed on cctv from the moment we sit down, so any trouble can be icolated as soon as it starts. Yes thet are loud and rowdy at the back of the south stand and im glad. If it wasnt for them sometimes drumming up the chants, im sure we'd go for whole matches in silence. They put time into getting new songs going. Last match was hillarious with oloughlins song/amos song. Im glad there there - and no i dont see a problem, let alone deny it.

people are using this mix up in communication to just have a go.


Oh and by the way, For a thread to be titled "How thick/ignorant are some wiganers?" I Find it quite hillarious the number of posters who clearly have no idea what Chav stands for.
Just for the record Council House and Violent! How does that fit any of the groups you are running down, on this thread - it doesnt. In my opion alot of you lot look like the ignorant ones.

spot on mate....it only takes 1 person to not understand that the minutes silence isnt why the last posts being played, and we get a ripple effect.

in fairness a lot of people stand in silence why the last posts being played........so they confuse it.

the last post is NOT the minutes silence.......so what would the reaction be if fans/chavs started shouting during the last post??????
nobody tell you to be silent during that do they?? so what if a section decided to sing a song to the tune of the last post why it was being played? nobody can object to that , because nobody has asked for silence.

if they are going to insist on keep doing this then apart from the posters idea whom i have quoted....what about combining the 2 and have the silencve whilst the last post is being played.
tbh after a guy has stood in front of a large crowd playing it , i think he deserves a round of applause.
so i think a rethink is in order over this issue.

and to be fair, there are a large number of people in this country who think our lads shouldnt be there in the first place...so we shouldnt need to do things like this.

Would be a good question to ask at the next fans forum

Racist chanting, laughing at a serious tribute to our troops and constant swearing and drunken behaviour in a family stand is ok is it? Or is that what you call banter? You calling people on here the ignorant ones is frankly laughable.

Fair enough, what you find acceptable is different to what others find acceptable. Frankly, people being thrown in my opinion is not acceptable in the slightest and shouldn't ''be expected''.

The South Stand is recognized for being loud and vocal. Infact myself and many others have been involved with adding the flags to the stand to try and create more atmosphere. However, some of the behaviour by idiots who happen to be within the top, middle section of the South Stand should not be tollerated and it needs to be stopped. Nobody is saying that everybody in that section are chavs/idiots but if you or someone you know is in that section then tough, trouble happens there hence why many people collectively call that group ''chavs'' and they will ramain to be branded ''chavs'' so long trouble continues in that section. It's the duty for people within that group to salvage their reputation by weeding out the idiots or simply don't sit near them.

Simple as that.

I really don't understand what your argument is? It isn't this forum that has labelled & pin-pointed that section, it's Wigan supporters in general as it's a clear, obvious and well documented problem area.

Racist chanting, laughing at a serious tribute to our troops and constant swearing and drunken behaviour in a family stand is ok is it?

what? do we go to the same matches? racist chanting.. i can only presume you are referring to st helens chants. If so we clearly have a different perspective.

As for drunken behaviour, beer/alchol is sold in the ground. Ive seen people drunk, but over the years of attending, but on average more adults, than from the group you are referring to.

Yes I think the running of these events should be brought up in the fans forum.

So you havent heard Watene chants in there this season?

What regiment were those troops marching along the touchline in front of the Boston Stand before the game?

A guy at the side of me said that they had just got back from Helmand but some of em’ only looked 12 and couldn’t march in line. Tell me that’s not what we are pitching up against the Taleban these days?

You don't even know what you're talking about half of the time.



And BTW, droning "Barmy Army" out for 20 minutes doesn't count as singing, or chanting, or trying to improve the atmosphere in any way, shape or form. It does the complete opposite. Though the idiots that start it and carry it on wouldn't realise that.

They are Cadets which is ages 12-18. The guy at the side of you is a muppet.

I think you are only trying to defend the people at the back of the south stand because that might be where you sit with your mates and you feel these comments are being aimed at you. Now I don't for one second think you are a violent person or anyone to cause trouble but you must agree that there is a slight problem with some of the behaviour?
