Our fans made no noise last week either.

The DW doesn't encourage a decent atmosphere then. Meh, same thing.

Speaking of Ultras, I'm all for the singing and atmosphere but I must of counted about 5 Celtic songs tonight, this is Wigan Rugby League. Becoming a bit of a bore ripping off the jungle bhoys IMO.

But if the fans wanted an atmopshere it could be amazing. The fans simply don't want it unless it is a big game.

For the same reasons as I stated before.

Which 5?

JCGE
87 central park wigan
we love you we love you
nah nah nah nah nah hey hey wigan warriors
then the random tune with the long drummin that has no lyrics but some tune, duno what its called.


Don't mind the odd one obviously but think it's a bit blatant ripping off to many.

Dublin GAA song actually

No they can't. Only one of the home stands is not reserved seating so haw can fans congregate?



They do and I thought the best of that tonight was when we had to defend because we actually had a game to watch as opposed to a procession. We do IMO get great atmosphere when Saints and Wire come. Leeds used to bring fans but don't do so in good enough numbers now. It will be interesting to see how promoting Hudds as the Big One works out.

You need two things for a good atmosphere IMO. A competitive game and some away fans to shout at. We might get more of the former these days but I reckon we get far less of the latter than when we were at CP and winning everything in sight.

So if people in the south stand wanted to sing then they would move towards the back.

You need fans for a good atmosphere. Fans all over europe sing for 90mins even if they are getting beat.

Slightly off topic but in regards to atmosphere I really do think away fans make a game at the DW.

I'm worried about advertising our game to new fans at the big one 3 as whilst it will be a good crowd it don't think it will be a good atmosphere as they won't generate an opposition atmosphere like Leeds, Saints, Wire or both Hudds would.

Well you can sing for the sake of it I suppose but my two best ever club ground atmospheres were one at Central Park and another at the DW. The first was when were in the "mission impossible" season and were 18-2 down to Bradford and came back to draw. The other was also against Bradford when we won 31-30 after a last second try and conversion. The atmosphere at those two games had nothing to do with singing.

I agree you can have an awesome atmosphere without too much singing but yes you are right that kind of thing doesn't happen without a good game.

My hope is that we will see the numbers of the Brigantes grow and we can get enough people sat together in the south stand to make sure every home game we give the players the support they deserve.
