georgeweahscousin Posted 5 February, 2013 Posted 5 February, 2013 Long shot I know, but me and my mate celebrated like nutters right amongst the home support (couldn't restrain ourselves). Would love to see it on video!
Colinjb Posted 5 February, 2013 Posted 5 February, 2013 How did they react to you after you did that?
Saint Charlie Posted 5 February, 2013 Posted 5 February, 2013 How did our smoke bomb look from the home stands?
georgeweahscousin Posted 5 February, 2013 Author Posted 5 February, 2013 1. On the whole they reacted pretty well. I was in the first row of exec seats behind the 'normal fans' a bit of name calling, and disgusted looks but it was ok. Obviously got a fair bit our way when they equalised.... 2. I didn't see the smoke bomb at all I'm afraid.
georgeweahscousin Posted 5 February, 2013 Author Posted 5 February, 2013 A mate of mine was in the Wigan stand behind the goal, and kept texting me, saying "can't see you" after the goal he text "Spotted you now. You nutcase."
Saint Garrett Posted 5 February, 2013 Posted 5 February, 2013 How did our fans sound from where you were ? Must have looked pretty decent....
georgeweahscousin Posted 5 February, 2013 Author Posted 5 February, 2013 How did our fans sound from where you were ? Must have looked pretty decent.... Very loud. The Wigan fans around us were impressed. Lot's commented on how loud we were.
Saint Garrett Posted 5 February, 2013 Posted 5 February, 2013 Always good to hear, I must have just been in the wrong part of our end!
red&white56 Posted 5 February, 2013 Posted 5 February, 2013 Very loud. The Wigan fans around us were impressed. Lot's commented on how loud we were. I must have been in the dead zone - at the very bottom corner of the away stand - as all i could hear was the bl**dy Wigan drum....
The9 Posted 5 February, 2013 Posted 5 February, 2013 Long shot I know, but me and my mate celebrated like nutters right amongst the home support (couldn't restrain ourselves). Would love to see it on video! Match of the Day certainly had some footage of the away fans after Morgan's goal, cos *I* was on MotD on Saturday "shalalalalalalalala"ing.
alehouseboys Posted 5 February, 2013 Posted 5 February, 2013 As all the other skates had obviously all gone down for a slash at the same time this pic of them makes it easy to work out how many we must have had there Saturday. Each block holds just over a thousand seats, we had 4 (plus slight spillage into the far end smaller one) so must have been the best part of 4,000 up there.
Thedelldays Posted 5 February, 2013 Posted 5 February, 2013 That picture can't be right. The skates are the bestest fans ever. Even on of their player wrote as such on a manky bed sheet
100%Red&White Posted 5 February, 2013 Posted 5 February, 2013 That picture can't be right. The skates are the bestest fans ever. Even on of their player wrote as such on a manky bed sheet Quality over quantity. 70 skates make far more noise than 4000 Saints, anyone on portsea isle will tell ya that.
saints-cris Posted 5 February, 2013 Posted 5 February, 2013 Quality over quantity. 70 skates make far more noise than 4000 Saints, anyone on portsea isle will tell ya that. They have a **** with a bell. How can we compete
Saint Garrett Posted 5 February, 2013 Posted 5 February, 2013 Reckon it wasn't far off 4000. I noticed it says in the programme the previous games attendances incluing away fans. So if anyone is going to any other Wigan games at the DW, then buy a programme so we can find out lol
The9 Posted 5 February, 2013 Posted 5 February, 2013 One Skate's response to that picture of the Skates I saw on a friend's wall on FB was that "they must have missed the time we took over 5000". He didn't link to any attendance figures or anything. Just saying.

alehouseboys Posted 6 February, 2013 Posted 6 February, 2013 Tbf they did have a similar turn out at Wigan as us once but circumstances were a bit different. Their's was a last day 'honest 'arry' great escape that saw them (cheating of course) stay up. It's a bit like us using the 15,000 we took to Selhurst Park and a few others in the same scenario to compare it to. And everyone takes a decent number away last day whatever the importance of the fixture. No, the only comparison is what us and them both took to Wigan mid-season in the same league and this sums it up... ...be interesting to see how many they take to Hartlepool in a few weeks, we took 900 in the middle of a cold November week.

We also took at least 750 up there on a cold February night
