I did it when we sat further up, when we were younger, when you & @_hengirl use to sit in front of me
No fans complained

Josie I used to love it never bothered us at all well apart from one breezy day a peice blew back and went straight into my gov but to stop you when let's be fair the DW can be devoid of any atmosphere it's fairly petty to me.

Truth is I expect nothing to change the football club will remain in sole charge and we wigan fans will be made to feel 2nd class

I used to cut up red & white or blue & white, depending on the colour of away shirts, crepe paper for every game, home & away & give it out to kids & adults near me. Also I would blow up the long balloons & give those out as well & just let them go flying all over the place. When my hands became so bad I couldn’t use scissors I stopped.

I was asked why by a Warriors management person why I’d stopped doing it. Told them about my hands & said they were sorry about that as it created a bit of fun etc.

I then found a company that made ready made confetti bombs. So I started to buy them. (I’d have to cut the seals where you turned them, cos of my hands being so bad) or ask the guy in front to break the seal by twisting it.

Then at the start of this season, after a few home games, I was told I had to stop as the stadium management said it was a health & safety risk! But it was in fact the cleaners, I was told, who complained it was hard to clean up!

So I’ve stopped again.

Fully agree, bet it’s an absolute nightmare to pick up, especially the ones stuck to the ground when wet.

Would massively increase clean up times.
