Sure was, got to shake his hand, thank him and asked him if he would please come back sometime.
Close up he did look quite emotional, thanks Madge

It's a shame we didn't get to the Grand Final but we can't win them all. There has been so many special moments over the past two seasons and I am proud of the club, chairman, players, staff and fans.

Cheers for the comments on this thread, wish I could reply to all of them! Seriously it is much appreiciated when the rest of you guys get behind us, come and stand with us next season.

Cardiff will be awesome next season.

Cherry and white is probably the best song we have and I'm sure it will stick for many years. A tear came to my eye when the players came out for the warm up and everyone was singing it, simply awesome.

PLEASE get involved if you like what we do, don't let it put you off if you don't know anyone, I didn't know any of them at the start of this season and now some of them are really good mates of mine!

We have more songs in the book for next season and loads more flags and banners will be on the way.

ALLEZ BRIGANTES.

PS - sorry about breaking the drum skin, we will have a new one for next season and I'll be raring to go!

Credit to all the fans for the noise on Sat, its a pity that the away ground atmosphere does not carry over to the home games. A joint effort with the club to encourage singing sections in the DW would help.

The way we had to leave Central Park was upsetting and then we had to move into a new but for us soul-less stadium - and the trophies dried up. I think it was the 2006 in which as a set of fans as whole we refound our soul and our pride, though the passion was always there. When our team needed us and our club stared relegation in the face we got louder and prouder and crowds went up. I've never been so proud to be a Wigan fan as that year.

Working from that base, we needed something special to kick on again and I think it's remarkable that some of our fellow fans took it on themselves to create just that. The work the Brigantes have done with the flags, the songs and generally the atmosphere at games is awesome. There's various categories at the Man of Steel awards and it's just a pity one of them isn't Fans of the Year because the Brigantes would win it hands down.

People love what's been created and I can only see it growing and getting better next year. Awesome work, people.

Thanks for the comments on this thread, just posted on the Brignates board how proud I am of our support this season, never dreamt it would be this big when we had the original idea, its been crazy. Best support in SL by a country mile.

Can someone put the lyrics to the new song on here please, i get to the third line and start making words up........

Some very good comments about the Wigan fans from different players on twitter with Nick Fozzard giving probably the best.

He posted that it was an unbelievable effort from our lot and that we have a great team and outstanding supporters.

Nice to hear it from outside our own lads.

On a side note I saw 2 Wigan lads walking about a mile away from the stadium. Stu Fielden posted on twitter he picked them up on the hard shoulder and asked what they were doing to which they replied 'walking home'. They got a lift to Wigan from Fielden. Ha ha.

Thats brilliant!

Madge is a Brigante

It was brilliant when the lads came out to warm up with the whole stand bouncing and singing along to cherry and white ! Tommy's and sam's faces in particular showed how much it means when they see the fans like that

was fantastic...im not really into getting in the middle of it (im too old.. )...but the view from the south stand was great....it started in one corner, and by the end the whole stand was rocking.........and trust me....it spread to the south stand too.

a lot of people dont realise how much these guys put in behind the scenes...and its snowballing.
we are the envy of other clubs now thanks to these guys who started this brigante/ultra/flag thing.

excellent stuff.........i just have one tiny moaning thing (wouldnt be me if i didnt), but that'll keep till the of season.
