I reckon that's partially because the club doesn't even sell them anymore.

You might be right. Would be good to get to Wembley this year I'm pretty sure loads of kids would get them outside the ground and bring them to home games.

If you read the definition on the website it becomes pretty obvious

[iUltras are a type of sports fans renowned for their fanatical support and elaborate displays. They are predominantly European followers of football teams. The behavioral tendency of ultras groups includes the use of flares (primarily in tifo choreography), vocal support in large groups and the displaying of banners at football stadiums, all of which are designed to create an atmosphere which encourages their own team and intimidates opposing players and supporters..[/i

Ah thanks Hogan.

I have another name for them in that case

I love this!!!

THAT MUCH I'VE STOLEN IT!!!!!!

sorry and thanks!!

Holding hands !!!!, definitely not married then.

I love how I'm referred to as a middle aged man waving a piece of cloth about!

I can't wait for Friday and the week after, I love helping out and feeling involved in all this. I feel its only right that we have something to call "ours" and feel proud about. Never mind what other trolls and jealous fans think! Lets keep on with it until the club tell us otherwise!

I love being called middle aged.

Don't worry about all the criticism guys! It's just people being plain miserable in my eyes, there is absolutely nothing wrong with all the flags at all and I'm sure the steward in question is being a major jobsworth!

Started to bring my nephew to home games and he is really enjoying the experience. One of the things he comments on every game are the flags and the colour, he actually goes into school saying that he has seen the wigan flags on a monday morning he get's that excited! So if people moan about not being able to see the grass grow due to the flags waving that is their problem. The South Stand is unreserved and they dont need to sit behind the flags.

Since the flags where introduced the south stand definately feels more like home and I love the we are wigan flag right above the north stand! If any of you need any help with the big wavers just drop me a pm and I'll help out. We need them at home aswell as away, it shows that we are wigan!

Whens the next meeting? Hope to get to one soon when I am not working because I enjoy the beer in the Anvil! And keep up the great work in the mean time!

Thanks for the support mate. Not got a date sorted for the next meeting yet but I'll PM you when we do. Be good to see you down there. More new faces each time we meet which is great. Thanks for the offer of help in the South too. We'll need people at the next home game so I'll send you my details. Looking for hands at Hudds this week too if you are heading across!
