any one planning on standing in the new corner? i'm considering moving from my spot in the west stand and trying it out. (as long as there's no effing drums it could become my new home!)

Don't think you will be moving then from what I've heard on the grapevine

Drums would be far better in the enclosed corner. Far better reverberation and acoustics; PLEASE.

drums would be far better left at home.... where the pointless noise doesn't ruin the game for normal people who just want to go and watch the rugby.

Give them a place in the west stand then they can annoy visiting fans.

Will it be ready in time for Sunday ?
Still a fair bit to do outside this morning !

If its OK and safe outside, "cosmetic" stuff on the outside will not stop it being used as long as the area can be cordoned off to the public.

"Bevan Wall Uncovered as the stadium corners get their finishing touches ahead of the home opener against London Broncos this Sunday"...per Wolves Facebook page. They do refer to cornerS

I will be relocating from West to South East corner and would support a move for all percussionists to gather in the West to 'entertain' our visitors

think we will be taking refuge in the new corner with the drums, we may bring a few trumpets, and triangles just to anger a few people that go to a rugby match and expect the atmosphere of a library.

I think it might be more than a few, but, hey whatever you and 'the band' want is all that matters and is ok with me.

BTW I don't to turn up at a Rugby match and expect to watch it in the atmosphere of a library. I just don't wholeheartedly agree that drums, triangles and trumpets (can't wait) are necessary for a good atmosphere and it is a bit sad if that is the case.

What was Wilderspool like before the drums? Was that also a library?

Most of my recollections of Wilderspool are pre drumming 1970's (prior to moving away from NW) and maybe its my P&B spectacles, but, there seemed to be an edge, especially in big games. Maybe its an age thing, an era thing, or my memory playing tricks, but, there was plenty going on.

Drummer types do have a particular bizarre, arrogant attitude towards other fans, and it's not just a Warrington thing. You see the same on the Leeds, Wigan, even Salford forums where anyone who doesn't want to go home with a headache is automatically calling for complete silence.

Of course, on the Wigan forum they've got a bit more of a point because if you hang out near the Ultras you're likely to end up with 'S2' aerosolled onto your clothes by urchins in cherry and white balaclavas.

Sometimes yes. And a library had more people in it.

Can see drums etc in the SE corner being as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit to some sat at the southern end of the East Stand. Unlike their counterparts in the South, they do not have the option of moving to another part of the stand if they want to protect their eardrums. Even worse if they're a season ticket holder!

SE corner drums sounds like a bloody good idea. Well done

Yeah but that sort of behaviour is going to be 'sorted' by the rest of them - Frontier-style.

You've got a short memory Mr Moore, Wire v Wigan, 2001, I seem to remember us dancing on the tables in the Library. Now that was an atmosthere

Did you read that whole thread? I found it a real page-turner.

Ultra goon: 'Fear not, the Ultra posse are self-policing and we will stamp out any misdemeanours among our number. Anyway, the guy that carried out the vandalism wasn't one of ours.'
Normal Wigan fans: 'If it wasn't one of yours, how will you stop it happening?'
Ultra goon: 'Errr... aww, shut up! Anyway, here's a couple of photos from the Bradford City fire.'

best bit was the explanation of why they are waving flags around with skulls on .... apparently 'the skulls symbolise support from beyond the grave'.... you couldn't make it up.

I will take whatever instruments you can throw at me in the south east corner!!!
I just dont want anybody near me from pondlife corner!!!!

Are you saying a skull and crossbones isn't a respectful way of honouring Wigan fans sadly departed?

Rogues will be on in a minute to tell us to come to the next meeting and see what they do. You have to bring your own spraycan though.

Listen to this man.

I thought the skulls were to show the ultras were a bunch of numbskulls.

As the drum wouldnt it be nice if little old drummer boy could play the thing first.Before inflicting it on the poor souls in the south.Any w
