Why limit it at 5,500 people singing when it could be over 8000 opposite the camera for every one to see, it would look great. If the east stand was full with everyone singing it would be great. It would be like the south stand is for Leeds but better.

It wouldn't work in the East as it's all reserved seating. The South is not.

Why does that matter

I am pretty sure that the Kop and Stretford end are both reserved.

Yeah but they all began as unreserved terraces.

Still doesn't matter if every wants to sing they will sing.

But not everyone does. So you need an unreserved area you can all gather in together.

I have never understood why people do not want to sing unless they are old and sit in the west stand.

The only song that gathers any momentum at home is the chanting of Wigan and finger pointing.

Beltin idea Jimmy

Top of the south in the south-east corner is my vote.
Unless the club can organise a singing section. Cant be that hard

Wigan Ultras?

what a ridiculous idea.



singing wise i agree an area should be set aside or promoted for singers, like at Bolton wanderers in Chav Corner, although I presume we would call our area the same.

The ultras thing is cringy, but the idea of a noisy/singing/flag section definitely gets my vote

"If yer want bloody sing, go to a karaoke bar..."


I think setting up a singing and dancing section is just an open invitation for the p**sed up 14 year olds from the South stand to act more juvenile than usual.

To me, I go to the games to watch the game. I'm not really d about having 80 mins of singing "We're the greatest club in the world" and so on.

To be honest the south stand used to be like this anyway but its empty these days.

you must be joking

Mate each to their own, some people don't like to sing, some people do. I don't see your point

I just think we as 'supporters' should go to 'support' the team.

I always thought it would be a great idea if we had a small Brass Section at games. Seem to remember Wire brought a couple over to the JJB when GB played Aus and it generated a great atmosphere!

C'mon all we'd need is a couple of Wigan supporters who can knock out a few tunes on the trumpet!

It would be good if the club could advertise it, and as payment they could offer them free entry...etc!

Won't take off at home games I don't think

I just love the peace and quiet at the back of the east stand... I can have a little nod if i wish.... love it... i always think that Wigan Rugby fans are a little like BWFC fans... get t'ground... get thi seat... and think "Reet yer buggers i've paid mi money.....entertain me...and if yer can't..RUN YER BLOODY BLOOD T' WATTER".... Perhaps its just me... dunno.... I'll get my coat....

It would just look cheesey a load of Wiganer one day turning up to a match pretending to be Italian soccer fans. What we need is a team song, Saints have got one, Hull and Rovers have got one. Why haven't we? Something like 'Down by the Riverside' could work.

You're not the only one to notice it at the Reebok then



Always best advised to do these sorts of things independantly - the 'official singing section' at the Reebok is all a bit cringeworthy IMHO.

here's an idea why dont people start by getting off players backs and try encouraging the team when there losing or not performing instead of when we're winning in a game the stadium is deathlty quiet until we're putting points on the board

Well those that like the idea like it and those that don't don't. This isn't about anything divisive or about a clique. If people want to dip in, grand, if not, fine. No pressure. No membership. It's just about testing the water & getting some ideas. It's just that any set of supporters that gets an Ultras scene going seems to have a better experience on matchday. The effort on and off the pitch these past few years has been poor with a few notable exceptions (how much fun was Wire away last sason? and this isn't just about singing 'Greatest club in the world' for 80 minutes!). We may as well have a beano on the terraces regardless of the performance on the pitch.

And this isn't about trying to ape Italian football fans although 2 people have suggested the name 'Brigate Rosso'

More like Landgate Rosso

I like'd that post. Here is my coat....
