Hope saving ourselves for Friday.
All fans who go to away games try to make more noise than home supporters.
The problem at the DW Stadium unlike Central Park is that our suporters are in diferent stands.
You saw the difference at Langtree Park when all together.
Plus unlike Headingley, we do't have a tannoy blearing out Rhino's fans singing!
I already said this!
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
I sit in the East stand & I'm sick of singing & shouting my head off on my own. I'm surrounded by 'fans' who constantly shout abuse & berate the players but try & get them shouting in support.
Last week at Wakefield I never stopped shouting for our lads for the full 80 mins & even when the game ended I carried on shouting/singing support. You could see how drained the players were.
So much so that it was commented on by several people on FB!
I don't go on there much anymore but I had a few messages acknowledging how loyal I am to the club & players
No wonder I'm knackered when I get home

I couldn't make it to the game last night but managed to listen to it on Wish FM. I thought the atmosphere came over pretty well on the radio and could hear both sets of supporters chanting/singing.
Plenty of noise in the Boston Stand last night. The best laugh though, was when Cas fans started chanting "Wigan's a s***t hole I wanna go home"!
At 44% full last night I thought that there was plenty of atmosphere. DW is 66% of the size of CP (at Manly maximum), but of course DW holds the sound in better. It also enables us to maximise takings for Derby matches etc.

It must have been right at the back or not in the block I am in cos the people round only shout to moan!
