If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

But you have to draw attention too ONE guy!!! |

I'm don't know anything about the guy in the ski mask and I don't really care if that's right or wrong. I was at HKR and maybe the flare was a little ott but one thing I do know is the atmosphere is fantastic at away games nowadays. I don't know any of the guys who've organised this Ultras group but keep up the good work because the atmosphere at Saints and then at Wire was amazing and long may that continue.
Top stuff.

| Quote: Jimmy Birts Lives On "The meetings have become a farce. Officials from the club? What for? They turned up at the last one and there haven't been any complaints since so why are they there to lay the law down tonight. These meetings have become a vehcile to attempt to gain control of our idea. Way too official.
Get rid of someone who put a ski mask on? Why? I've seen people at games that drunk they can hardly walk. Ban them too? Where do you stop? Shiny Ellgren jackets?
If people are that interested in policing Wigan fans they should become a steward or ask Collinson for a job FFS!
You've brought up HKR. I was told that HKR were more aggreived at the 200 or so who congregate in that corner next to the bar and never take to their seats. As a result they are thinking of reducing Wigan's allocation next year. Should we consider banning wigan fans who seem more interested in getting drunk at away games than watching the game? All in the interests of self policing n' all.'" Chris
Not getting into an argument on here as I would then be guilty of what I've criticised other in tha pst for which is something along the lines of "Washing dirty linen in public" and/or "Creating a storm in a tea cup.
If you want to discuss I'm free ( And Conroy/MattyB/Roy/Rogues etc) to at any time?
However
There are quite a lot of inaccuracies in your post and I can categorically state that no-one from the club is there tonight to "lay the law down".
I would suggest that's scaremongering on your part?
If you think it's getting too official then come and have your say as to be honest your views can't be heard if your not there? |

Couldn't agree more.
Just need to keep it controlled whenever/wherever possible?
If not where does it stop and then lead to? If we can't be trusted to Police ourselves then who can? |

| Quote: Horatio Yed "I love Wigan fans in a [i'i love to hate you but it's not real hate cos a lot of my family and friends are Wigan fans banter type way'[/i
I love taking the mick out of the Ultras and Brigantes because banter is always about petty point scoring and oneupmanship and any small crack and like water we'll run through it, the ultras sounding like a sanitary towel for instance. Banter is only ever good if it's done in the good faith that you don't overstep the mark and take what ever is thrown back on the chin and laugh it off.
The thing is i love the fact that you guys make such an effort and i wish all clubs would go to a similar effort, i've seen you twice away now HJ and The Stoop and both times i've been very impressed and slightly envious, not so much at the DW though were i thought you were a little subdued.
Any fan that really genuinely takes the pee and thinks this is a little sad just isn't 'getting it' for me.
As a Wire fan the games i look forward to the most are Wigan, Saints and Widnes, the reason being the crowds are more vociferous and that instantly makes the atmosphere electric and so much more enjoyable. We all want this atmosphere so why ridicule something we actively thrive off.
My only worry with this is the more unsavoury element latching on to this as some sort of group that intimerdates beyond that of which we expect and believe to be decent and civil and as Jukesays says it must be policed from within to stamp out any chance of it being hijacked, if this is done and the nobs are removed quickly it will be a very positive thing for RL.
In fact imagine if the 14 top clubs all created their own little splinter groups of fan groups and then at games tried to out do each other it would be amazing for the game and the atmosphere in general and as well as having TGG on the pitch we'd have fans who not only behave themselves but outdo the atmosphere of the wendyball, yet another positive shot in the arm for attracting fans.
I'll always continue to have as many digs as possible at Wigan, as a Wire it's my duty and i would always expect the good natured banter back but i do admire you guys on this and hopefully it spreads to the wider rugby community.'"
I can't believe I'm saying it but "Well said that man!"  |

Totally agree.
I go to the football aswell and know for a fact if Latics created a group like this it would get out of hand because it would attract a high percentage of nutters.
I'm 100% confident though that rugby league fans are different. If ever there was a minority that wanted it to go down a wrong path the majority would put them in line.
As far as I can see the group looks to be about creating as much colour, noise and passion at games as possible and all in a positive sense.
I think it's brilliant. |

If controlled correctly its a brilliant idea.
Hopefully Saints fans can sort something similar soon because it brings organisation which our support lacks. Too many 'singers' spread across the ground instead of grouping together. Hopefully this will change with our terraced end next year.
My only critisism of you guys is the threatening banners, why?
Skulls that have evidently been pinched from celtic's green brigade does not give off the right impression. They don't represent anything positive...

WOW! careful...
They'll have your head off for criticism like that.
It's somethIng I've wondered and discussed with others but I'd never make the point to the group for fear of the now quite standard backlash.
Flags on SouthStand gantry = brilliant
Other things = not so (IMO ofcourse) |

Maybe your talking to the wrong people Kris as 90% of us agree with the above to some degree, see you at the Semi

| Here's something I've been working on for the last couple of days, I'd say it didn't take long but I'd be lying! Needs a little touching up but I'm quite pleased with it, stuck the a4 version on to give it a sense of scale. It looks a little wonky at the bottom but that's because it's not hanging up quite straight. Needs a couple of channels sewing into it for sticks. I'm thinking of doing a how-to so others can get making, flags and colour really improve the look of the support. Would anybody be interested?

[quote="Rob Wire":qtnftxzx]WIGAN ARE BACK to what exactly ? Oh i see what you mean, back to beating weakened teams. How many key players did we have missing in the cup ?
Just remind us again how many key players did Saints have missing in last years grand final ?
When did you actually last beat a strong Saints or Warringtom team ? Don't include beating us last year at the HJ, we had a lead of around 14pts and were cruising then we lost both Briers and Monaghan, another example of Wigan capitalising on other teams misfortunes.[/quote:qtnftxzx]

| Out of interest, are the flags gonna be taken to HJ next week?
Is the SS more accommodating for them than the away end?
It'd be great if you pushed your luck and tried to find a place for 'WE ARE WIGAN'
That'd really peev a few off who aren't in the semi  |
