I'll try and translate that last wigan-ese sentence I have been thinking. Why doesn't Wanderersways do more displays, or even use the persuasion of its members to get what fans want from their club?

I agree the club have been good to fans! The Fan Zone, cheaper tickets, free away coaches to name just a few things I was thinking of more displays and getting the singing section going as well. Is the Fanzone now a perminant fixture now and is there any news on free coaches again?? My previous quote may have been in wiganeese but you all got my point!

Site Supporter MickyD Posted July 27, 2009 Site Supporter Share Posted July 27, 2009 I don't know about anyone else but the first post from Wigan White read more like it was from one of our friends from Plovdiv or some other place from our UEFA travels. Ultras? Wanderersways Ultras?? Why not just go to the nearest policeman and tell him you'd like to be arrested for having extreme views at a football ground. I'm sure it'd be arrestable if he looked hard enough through the rules and regulations of entry into a sterile football ground. Sorry, but having flags and flares a la European Ultras isn't going to go down too well at the Reebok. How about we also go for a cheerleader (not a Reebok Rebel) in the middle of the pitch building up the tension. How about it Reebok Voice? Do you think you could make it interesting enough to get most of the not-rights from here up from the lower concourses to chant songs instead of sup beers? No, nor do I. Bin it!!

Guest as Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 The Reebok is just a wank venue to get an atmosphere going, but at least we can make a racket away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke_ Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 The whole 'Ultra' thing has a bad name in Europe because a minority of them such as Roma fans behave badly. Ultras believe in supporting the team by non stop singing right through games, colourful card displays and waving flags around. It would be very difficult to set an organisation up for that as it will take alot of time and money, but if enough people are interested it could be done. The nearest team with 'Ultras' around here is Accrington Stanley, other Bitish teams include Aberdeen, Crystal Palace, Middlesbrough to an extent and York City. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LNuGbE849g Just seems like abit of harmless fun to me, they just travel to games together and theres plenty of drinking involved! it's just another form of supporters club.

luke_ Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 In England I think we just call them 'mates you go the match with'. Yeah, but I think they have a supporters bar and meet up during the week to organise displays etc, its not just on the day of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke_ Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Marseille had a bar that opened through the week, dont think it had anything to do with the ultras though.

no balls Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 What the club should do is close the bars 5 minutes before kick off, open then at half time, shut them 5 minutes before the second half starts & get rid of those tvs underneath. That'll get the atmosphere back! It's a disgrace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
