Cant believe what I am actually reading, some people need to get a grip big time. Since our Ultra secene really took off (please dont edit this and put "Brigantes" its still an Ultra scene) we have had no bother with any fans of any clubs and nothing but praise from football clubs across Europe and this country via email/facebook/youtube. It started off with 14 of us on a coach to Barrow in a friendly and has now expanded to around 200/300 regulars making a cracking atmosphere at every game. The days of people taking the mickey out of Wigans support are well and truly over, our younger generation of fan will grow up with a completely different attitude of view on supporting the club. We may take a fair bit of stick from other teams fans for what we call ourselves but no stick or name calling has stopped us achieving our goal, we are attracting faces I have rarely seen at games in the past and the group seems to expand every week.

well put mate.

Does it disappoint you that most of them are either kids or grannies trying to do the "bouncy bouncy"?

Not many kids or grannies were I was stood at Warrington mate.

No, a supporter is a supporter whether they are one year old or one hundred and one years old. As long as they are enjoying and behaving themselves it doesn't matter at all.

we a family club,

Not at all. it was actually good to see the old people bouncing around with us at the saints game. enjoying thereself.

Fair enough. Does amuse me a bit though.

OMG!!!

The idea was to 'enhance' the atmosphere not argue over it. Black, white, purple, old, young, fat, thin, sit, stand, shout, clap, sing wah wah wah its all about our love of the game, right??

I wasnt stood near the main group of singers on Saturday, but I can tell you there werent any old grannies or many young kids near me pal. There was alot of faces Ive not seen for a long time at an away game, mostly blokes in the their 20-40's.

You where doing really well until this point....if some fans want to chant that, be it limp wristed or not, who the hell are you to comment?

For what its worth, ultras/brigantes or whatever it is you call it this week is a great thing IF controlled....you have the idea that you want to make it as intimidating for the opposing fans, but at the HKR away game this season you made it intimidating for some of your own fans, setting flares off etc.

Keep up the good stuff, but dont get all high and mighty if people A) dont follow what you do B) decide they want to do there own thing.

I’ll tell yer what pal, there were a few Wigan fans intimidated by the sight of you under that billboard poster on the A49 last week ha ha

Well it certainly wasnt the size!!

It wasn't a pop at our fans, it was worded wrong, I meant when away fans take the mickey singing "wigan, wigan, wigan" and make the "limp" hand gesture at us.

Meaning the days of opposing fans taking the mickey out of Wigan's support has gone.

FWIW iv got a cracking picture of you on my phone

TBH i dont think many true fans do, one thing we are proud about is our support, more so our away support!
