Dont be ridiculous. It seems to be fine if people talk about how great the Brigantes/Ultras (or whatever they are called this week) are but any criticism, no matter how small or constructive it is, and people react in a complete over the top reaction like this. It was similar on the swearing thread last week with Brigantes members belittling peoples genuine concerns because they thought it was big and clever to chant songs with swear words in it when there were easy compromises/alternatives.

I dont like the way they purposely set out to be so devisive and have a if you are not with us you are aginst us attitude. Many of peoples fears and concerns could have been sorted out at the start of the year, it really didnt take much. However as far as I can see it there is absolutely no compromise, no taking on board peoples concerns and a general screw you we will do as we please attitude to the rest of the supporters.

Do what you want it doesn't matter to me if you have 10 or 10,000 each to there own just sick of about 10 threads with the same stuff all over the forum just have 1 and talk about it there thats all im saying

There's 1, and this is it. Massive over-reaction and dummy-spit from you.

You can see what the topic is about from the title. Simply don't open it and read through it.

Read something you do have interest in, it's really not that hard.

Excellent. Our weekly Brigantes/Ultras thread/moan.

It's great isn't it?



The only positive I can take from this is that it's a sign that everything else is going well. There's nothing else for Wigan fans to complain about.

How I hark back to the days of the simple finger point.

Doesn't matter what they are called to me. They have brought back something we have been missing for a while. Atmosphere!!!!

Re: Ultras or Brigantes??? : Sat May 19, 2012 9:12 am  

As soon as I saw the shot on sky of all the kids with those scarves and the one with his face covered I just knew there would be a thread about it , Getting a bit tedious now but I guess I'd rather see people moaning about teenagers with ultra scarves than the team being crap. Don't agree with the face being covered by scarf thing but they aren't hurting anyone... yet... and the atmosphere sounded great on the tv.

Nail on the head.

However, I will have a moan. I'm all for generating more atmosphere, but I don't see the point of someone labelling themselves as a Brigante or Ultra or whatever. Surely we can just generate atmosphere as Wiganers. It's as if they think they are some set of super fans, and has an elitist feel to it. I just don't get it, sorry.
