I fully understand that people are entitled to an opinion and 90% of people who have given contructive critisism have been listened to and valued. However as I said, there seems to be a minority that cant wait to put the Brigantes down and have a go. I dont like how the group is being portrayed as seperate to other Wigan fans, that isn't what the group is trying to do.

I think most people who post or read this forum on a regular basis know who the "moaners" are, as they pretty much do it on every thread they contribute to and therefore I expect most people to take their views with a pinch of salt on most if not all subjects. Unfortunately some of the responses don't read like that distinction has always been made.

Apart from the odd sensitive soul I doubt anyone actually finds them intimidating.

Most people who are saying "negative" things have actually qualified it and said they like what the group are doing and how they are improving the atmosphere at games. However for the most part the "negative" things being pointed out are due to the actions of individuals associating with the group and causing criminal damage or other forms of vandalism using Brigantes "branding". I doubt most people in the Brigantes want any part of that either so I don't know why it is causing so much consternation for some that something that actually happened is being discussed?

For me what is actually making things worse is the attitude of some posters who seem to be the unofficial/official spokesmen of the Brigantes with their childish name calling and extremely defensive attitude to any kind of opinion that is not happy with the vandalism, or who point something out. Their attitude has done the group a bigger disservice than a couple of S2s left about.

Cracking post

Using the Bradford fire to try and make a point about the group is one of the most tasteless and bizarre things I've ever seen on here, and makes you and the group you're trying to defend not one any right minded individual would want to be associated with. You might want to try and rethink that one.

Agreed. I was actually finding it amusing the thread till the sick posting of the Bradford fires, where some of the people on these boards myself included had family and friends involved.


Regarding the group the improving of the atmosphere has got to be a positive. But don't like the name ultra and the whole sticker posting thing. It will lead to trouble at grounds. All teams have a few idiots waiting for an excuse and plastering their ground with stickers will be the excuse they need

Probably the best and most sensible post on this thread.

How does the kings of rugby song go? It's a great tune but it sounds like you're singing 'we're Wigan rugby and we're never gonna score'

Well, I wasn't moaning so much as identifying areas where we needed to improve, so very glad that they were very much improved.

LOVE the evolution flags. Couldn't see them from where I was sat, forgot my glasses but just saw a picture on the Wigan V Leeds thread.
