A couple of year ago Liverpool talked about setting up a section in the kop for folk who want to get singing etc started. I think they were going to call it the 'powerhouse'. Bit cheesy I know. Often thought that's what we need at the JJB though, in the East stand. Even if it's just 100-200 seats, to concentrate the 'singers'. The club would need to lead this but can't see it ever happening. You can't just turf out a whole section of season ticket holders just because they don't want to sing. Need to do something though; it's way too sporadic at the moment (partly due to a poor season i guess). I also think the drum is overused and can sometimes dampen the atmosphere building up, e.g. at the end when the players walk over to an ovation (sometimes), rather than allowing the applause to build up and maybe an impromptu chant, it's always the same... bang, bang, bang bang bang, bang bang bang bang, Wigan. Getting a bit predictable to me. Sorry if thats a bit whingy for a first post, i'm usually more positive!

| I'm all for it. The more noise the better, I've been on the Kop at Anfield for some tremendous nights including the first Liverpool/Chelsea Champions League semi and I've experienced nothing like it anywhere. It'd be nice to have a slice of that passion at Wigan.
I'm sick of half-hearted chants that do two or three choruses before they fade out and then ten minutes from the end (regardless of the score) 1/4 of the ground firing off home (cue the "I pay my money, I'll go when I want" type remarks.)
Cheesey or not lets get a section sorted for next season (all the best Ultras are organised www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE7oMGFqVG4
Wait a few seconds for it to get going.
The best fans in the world IMO. |

They did set it up its called RTK Reclaim The Kop it involves the back blocks of the Kop 304 305 and 306 its really good in that area but if im honest it doesn't really carry through the whole stand. | | | |

The club could do a lot to contribute on this: Flags, sectioning off areas, advertising on website..etc. Remember a good atmosphere can win matches now and again. No good having an '18th man' if it stays silent.

| Quote: Jimmy Birts Lives On "No, nothing at all to do with hooliganism! This is about setting up an Ultras scene to promote a bit of colour, passion and noise on the terraces in a similar fashion to Ultras groups on the continent and those which are increasing in popularity over here (e.g. see Aberdeen’s Red Ultras website. Even Accrington Stanley have their Stanley Ultras!)
We'd be looking at the production of new flags and banners, ideally with striking & original designs. Homemade or professionally made flags & banners, it doesn’t matter. The more the better.
If anyone is interested, give me a PM or if anyone has any ideas (including ‘no chance, it’s a non-starter!) put your ideas on here.
I’ve already contacted the club to see if they are interested in having any input although I suspect that something like this would work better away from home for various reasons.
Forza Wigan !!
(Category C and below welcome ![]()
Like in our PM's, best of luck dude.
It's something I've been trying to champion at Saints for a couple of seasons, but has been falling on deaf ears. But we're making progress with the flags and stuff.
Be good if we could turn the derby into a real hotbed like it used to be, adding colours to it like in Europe.

a fantastic idea- all for it happening, one good thing about going to watch in 2006 was that you where going to get a fantastic atmosphere where ever you sat at the game whereas these days people just cant be bothered- a good atmosphere rubs off on the players, i.e murrayfield this year, hull and bradford in the playoffs. the mustaches took off so why couldnt this

Any one know if the club has any sort of policy of poles inside the ground. I'm talking large flag poles not migrants.
