Wigan fans are allowed to display their hanging flags at the DW, Saints fans are not.

Wigan fans are allowed flags on big poles at the DW, Saints fans are not.

Fair is fair, treat others as you would like to be treated.

I don't see the issue really. No team are allowed to take in poles or drums, why should wigan expect an exception????

Special permission is needed to go up on the gantry. Only a couple of people are allowed to do it.

I doubt saints fans have even asked about flags on huge poles, they don't have any.

No drums or trumpets ! Obviously worried about sonic vibration reducing the stadium to rubble

they could use the flags to keep the wind out

It's the same at LP, special access is needed to get the flags up at the top of the terrace. The flags have to be put up, a fair bit of time prior to KO.



I know a lad who rang up the DW Ground Safety Team before the last Good Friday derby, asking could a handheld banner with poles be displayed, the answer was no. They wouldn't even allow the banner to be used without poles.

Drums would be banned from all grounds if it was up to me.

I understand the flags on poles ban, health and safety certificates are hard to come by these days and it's always a risk. Especially with standing rather than seating.

I'm sure the other flags will be allowed if prior notice is given.

Can I bring my Cello?

Poles within the stands has only been allowed this season, so can understand that. The Wigan club have become more relaxed this season with regards to displays in the stand. Maybe one of the guys on here (PM Conroy) could put you in touch with the right people at the club in time for the league match at the DW. (I'm not promising anything, but I reckon they will be a lot more open minded if done correctly).

At the end of the day, a large display at each end with both sections of fans bouncing off one another is probably the ultimate aim over the coming years. There would be nothing else like it in Rugby League.

If you have ANYTHING that is Cherry and White (red is acceptable) or black and gold be it a scarf, some paper you can rip up, a t-shirt you can swing round your head....whatever, get it took on Friday and lets fill the place with colour.

Will it fit up your @rse?

We have been told no flags what so ever, im assuming they mean the one's we hang up aswell, which is irrelevant because we wasn't taking them anyway. We have a few tricks up our sleeve that should keep them busy, nothing rule breaking or law breaking, just plain annoying.

Hope they have got a rake and plenty drawing pins.

Think if its a s windy as it is now where i am, you need to take some poles to keep the roof up.

Nice interpretation of "no annoying drums or great big poles please".

Wow, you're cool!
