I like to watch the players warming up, if you watch carefully, you can see who's struggling with an injury, and get a good picture of how the lads are doing. From those that like to sit down the front, I find it rather annoying.
I dunno, maybe it would annoy me a little less if there was some coordination behind it and the flags actually waved in time and in accordance with the wind, but they seem to crash into eachother and occasionally disapear in the flag as it wraps around them.
When i first heard the idea, i thought it'd be great... turns out, it looks a bit naff.
Flares, fireworks, smokers etc etc are a definate no. Showering a stand in dyed smoke is neither good visually or healthily.
give it a go then

flag waving? I've done it in the past. It takes field practice, and the proper kit also helps. You need flag harnesses to attach the bottom of the flag to your body, then both of your arms, and your entire body focus on the movement of the flag. Get someone with a bit of rhythm and the rest is a given.
What i'm saying is i've paid my money, and I want to watch the game, including seeing the players come out... Let's face it, if you paid to watch a movie and some tart with a beehive hairdo came in and sat in front of you blocking your view, you wouldn't be best pleased.

but SOME people like to watch the trailers.
Purly have some thought for the 5000 people behind you who may want to watch the players warm up, the players come out etc.

PMSL, did you not get an invite to join their gang?
Seriously it reminds me of being at primary school when people made up gangs to try and be popular. Do they even realise how stupid calling themselves ultras makes them look? If it was Warrington fans we would be taking the urine endlessly. Seriously how old are these people?

Jesus christ Onedego, lets all just sit and silence and clap when they score a try! Or we could just watch Rugby Union.

Or we could have some respect for the several thousand that don't feel the need to commit crimes to support their team.

Nothing wrong with standing, cheering, dancing in the stands, it doesn't obscur anyones view when they're standing as well. When you get a 12ft flag waving at the front of the stands it gets in everyones view. Sure, wave flags, but at the back out of the way I'm not miserable, and I'm not moaning for the sake of moaning, but I've paid my ticket price and if I want to complain about it, and for us to miss something we enjoy watching devalues that price.
Sorry, I don't agree with you.
