I give in.
Defensive attitude at its best.

Just drop it.
Nobody is getting anywhere.
Good luck to anyone else. Best thing that can happen is another lock.

Brigantes?

WTF are they?

I believe the OP was just letting you know that 'filming' had been taking place, he most likely didn't know that you were aware of it and was just informing your group it had happened, nobody is 'having a go' at the 'Brigantes' on this thread, a question was asked about why it was so quiet yesterday, probably because of the on field performance which tends to take away some of the fans enthusiasm, but again,the support at times was good and is appreciated by all at the club, keep it up.

Now that match atmosphere has been brought up, would it not be better all round if the Brigantes & other noise makers sat in the middle of the stand opposed to the end block?

I thought it was generally a bit drab yesterday even before the start of the poor performance.

We are heading for 50 pages at this rate

To be fair there was no drum yesterday, so a few of them might have struggled to follow. I think the Brigantes performances so far this season (albeit still good) are not as impressive as the start of last season. I don't know if something is different/less people are involved.

Still good though!

That's good then! I don't think Saints will be disappointing, that is going to be one hell of an atmosphere!

police filming the crowd, dogs keeping order...wtf

Brigantes have heaped shame on a once great family crowd of supporters...isnt safe to take the kids anymore......what police actions will they attract next?

tear gas? Mace sprays? baton charges?
im staying home until all the brigantes have been rounded up and shipped to Siberia

BRIGANTES OUT OUT OUT

now lock this drivel before we get another 50 pages of brigante bashing

Do we have to have a thread similar to this after every away game?
The atmosphere was pretty drab yesterday but that will be down to the performance.
The only thing I will say on the matter of the Brigantes is who was the tool who had the full face scalf on? I'm sure he thought he was an Italian football hooligan and are the type of people who you should want to keep away from the group, its rugby league not foreign football ffs.

Its "St Pete" from the Stains board, closet Wigan fan...

After reading some of the comments on this thread - ie:

Why happened to them today?
Could hear a pin drop at times.

I think I must be missing something here. Why is the atmosphere/vocal support of the team the sole responsibility of the Brigantes?

At the game yesterday they tried their damndest to get people singing and backing the lads, yet most people just sat there & didn't join in.

Then they have to provide answers on here as to why they didn't generate an atmosphere for us all to enjoy.

If all the people who 'think they (the Brigantes) are doing a good job' and urge them to 'keep it up' etc. actually joined in - or God forbid actually started a song themselves, we would have the loudest support in the league. Where are all those people who have bought Brigantes merchandise and/or have said that they back what they are trying to do (why not say 'we' - we are all Wigan fans wanting the same thing) when the team need vocal backing?
Surely everyone needs to play a part in creating as loud a vocal support as possible. Whether you're 'in' the Brigantes or not (as far as I'm aware there isn't any form to fill in or past employer references to provide - there's no membership card - it's just a name used to attempt to give focus for a more vocal support by ALL Wigan fans - it's all inclusive), then for FS join in!

There have been a number of occasions, especially at the DW, when you overhear some people saying that " the atmosphere is poor today", yet when a song starts up - there is silence from them, as though it is up to someone else to provide them with the atmosphere they want.

Singing:
1. Isn't a crime.
2. Isn't something to be embarrassed about.
3. Gives a great sense of togetherness/community spirit.
4. Is good for the soul!
5. Feels bl***dy great when everyone joins in.


To ALL Wigan fans:
1. Surely the task of a supporter is to support
2. Learn the words.
3. Sing.
4. Don't leave it to someone else to provide an atmosphere.

Possibly the best post I have ever had the pleasure of reading on rlfans. 100% bang on the money!!

Couldn't be more true that.

Superb post
