But when that intimidating atmosphere happens outside the ground what happens? One set of chest banging men meets another? It's a fight.

Rugby league is a family sport, so while the colour of the flags and the chanting is okay, I don't want to see intimidation anywhere near the sport.

So we don't have people spilling their passion on the day over already.

I remember back in 05, being stood in a bar in Wigan with about 30 Saints fans, and 30 Wigan fans. All shouting and singing at one another, then walking over and chatting and drinking with other, and mid chat, joining in with another song. That is all this is.

I think what Saddened! Is trying to say is don't start fighting and it will all be fine.

As long as we don't obtain a drum I don't care what we do to be honest, anything to generate an atmosphere is a good thing. Anyone planning to stand near me with a drum during a match should expect it not to be functioning by half time.

Plans for this have been under way for a long time. Details to come in the offseason!

Hope you get something sorted! It will be worth it.

Derby days should be even more special if we both have an Ultras group.

Hopefully you can get something good going for homegames, you have the advantage of the standing area.

Joining in on this theme the flags look great i agree as sed the stobart stadiums a bit dead for some reason, next season we`ll get our own identity back withe the terracing behind the sticks, tho its sad to admit wigan fans do seem to leed the way

I really think saints fans should do something similar even if it is just for singing. Personally I think the flags look great.



You can't deny they look great taken to away games and at the home games at the top of the south stand.

In fairness we've had the flags for years too, they just aren't as prominent at the Stobart as they were at the old girl. I honestly think the atmosphere will return once the bulk of the more vocal fans (and hopefully some new ones) return to one area at the new ground as opposed to being more sporadically situated in the seating at Stobart.

I really can't wait for next season, terracing will definitely be an advantage in attempt to start up an (ultra style) vocal support group.
