Naw Ross disna want to carry it for you , and naw a dont want to take it hame fir you .

Fair point, flag in one hand, pint in the other... going for a tiddle is a major balancing act ive found

My flags have been missing from the gantry the last 2 games. I think jimmy Birts have been missing to, so that's at least 8.

A couple of the flags that used to go on the gantry were taken to be used in the stands, Your flag deffo was one of them.







Not 100% sure here but there were around 6 not erected at the last game (Conroys got a better memory than me) but were up for previous games. Not sure if a couple that were taken by individuals to other away games have been returned???



The number we put up hasnt changed for the last 3 games, it was just I had some emails/calls from people stating that some of theirs hadn't been used for a few games so we decided to change them round as we didnt have time to do them all.

It's our way of Squad rotation to keep them fit for the Business end of the season!



Pretty sure, time permitting and bearing in mind it will probably be after Conroys done a 12 hours shift and I've used another days annual leave at work, we'll be able to get most if not all of them up this Thursday (Bearing in mind maximum we can get up us around 22 & last 3/4 games we've only managed to get around 15/16 up in time).

Fair enough.



Yeah it's a bit of a nightmare having to book time off work. I had something like 9 half days off last season to set up the displays in the stand on Fridays.

Here's my take on this subject for what it's worth.



Atmosphere isn't all about who can sing the best/loudest songs throughout the match, (I used to tell my kids the reason for the singing at football is that they've nowt else to do - 'yeah dad, we know give it a rest').

If the singing does get going I enjoy it but it can't last because there's always something on the pitch to take most peoples' attention. By the way, do the musicians at Sheddingley pay to get in 'cos I can't imagine they get to see much of the match.



I read some years ago that the average age of the Wigan fans is 48, though that was probably just the season ticket holders. The singers are generally youngsters and I can't knock them for it.



For me the atmoshere is never better than when the Wigan lads are on their goal line repelling a good opposition set after set. That's when the noise gets genuinely inspiring.

There's never been an atmosphere at the DW with or without the Brigantes.



Hate that stadium with a passion.

The North stand is accustically the loudest stand with its solid roof wheras the South stand is partially glass and the noise coming from there is diminished by this.

I may well be childish, but I did giggle at this!

And you were supposed to.

This.







Not this though. Stadiums don't create atmosphere, people do.

according to the facebook fan site the noise returns friday.

drum bans ljfted and s2 is being taken over again.

Lets hope it doesnt mean more gratouitous swearing in the songs
