Post by kick it int duggie again »

I thought the fans were superb today,and the Dale at the end, well i was speechless, I even thought I saw Josie's stick being waved in the middle by the way i hope no one got lifted by the officious stewards, and what was that announcement all about, just how could that damamge the clubs reputation.

I agree they were superb, 15 mins or so to go when the Dale started and it kept going until ages after time. What was the announcement? I couldn't hear anything and have a croaky voice.

Before the game, the announcer said that beach balls were not allowed, LMFAO. We just kept them going as long as we could :lol:

The speakers weren't working in the West stand so couldn't hear the last announcement when we were all chanting at the end. We were much too loud :wink: :lol:

Fraid so :blush: Not watched the game but had a few texts & comments lol.

Going to have to start charging appearance money at this rate :wink: :roll:

Thing was, I don't usually stand so far back, but all the lower rails were took when I got there at 11 :exc:

I did have my own steward as well, who, for some reason, escorted me down the steps to the loo a couple of times :blush:

The Sarah & I were in the pub, the camera flew over, i pointed and said "There's Josie..."

From the TV it seemed that the wire "fans" took exception to the Wigan fans singing despite losing - so they started chanting "you're sh!t" at the end of every part of the chant.

The announcer told them that wire would "not tolerate foul and abusive language"
