It's the drum that's the problem, some of the most successful songs we now sing are heavily reliant on a good drum beat! |

It's like something from a Monty Python scene "Now there'll be no enjoying yourself or any of that nonsense....and definatley no flags on poles and god help you if we hear a drum...no more derby games for you sonny jim" (all in a silly Johnny Vegas voice)

Official line from the Saints safety officer and through our club is No Flags (On sticks or Gantry flags), No Drums end of.
Whether Saints fans can hang flags or do whatever is nothing to do with us as if they do then I guess they will have gone through the proper channels previously to with the Saints safety team (Like we have to do every game) to allow it whereas we won't have?'"
If thats what has been said then we'll have to abide by it. Having to "go through the proper channels" to take a piece of material into a stadium is pathetic IMO. At our place its different due to where they are "erected". |

I think we are being uber-sensitive at the moment as our H&S certificate is still being assessed / new. |

I don't really blame Saints in particular. We seem to be having more and more problems at every stadium. The H&S regs in this country are getting beyond a joke. This is the first time we've been told that we cant take the "stickless" flags into a ground though. |

Newsnight 13th May 2010: "With the role of Deputy Prime Minister a non-job. Has Nick Clegg gone from King Maker to tea maker????"
I kept the faith and I kept voting
Not for the iron fist but for the helping hand
For theirs is a land with a wall around it
And mine is a faith in my fellow man
Theirs is a land of hope and glory
Mine is the green field and the factory floor
Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers
And mine is the peace we knew

Don't blame the H&S regs (as there are none specifically AFAIK), blame the over zealous interpretation of usually vague requirements!

When does the capacity increase to 18,000 (or whatever it is supposed to be)? |

Not sure TBH, I would guess it's all in the hands of H&S. We had an issue the first week with people moving from the seats to the terraces to be with friends, which didn't help. |

Games as big as Grand Finals define individuals and clubs. Remember, we only rent these journeys. In my time I had Pat Richard's shirt. Ellery Hanley had Sean O'Loughlin's jersey. Sam Tomkins is wearing Radders' number one jersey. Andy Coley is wearing Shaun Wayne's jersey. You have to make a mark in these shirts before you hand it down to someone else. Hand it back. So be aware for 80 minutes that you are not only playing, but you are also writing history and creating legacy. How many people actually write history - not many? A big stage demands big players…..INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MATES.

I was going to suggest putting the flags in your pockets but I'm just being silly. Just drape yourselves in the flags, much easier.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know
