Re: Turnout today : Sun Jul 04, 2010 6:58 pm
For once I got a good look at the new self proclaimed 'barmy army' today. A dozen or so excitable youths and a smug 'drummer??' who's self-importance was laughable. They did get some songs going and generally people joined in but only every so often and certainly not with everything ("you're wigan in disguise".... "who are ya"...etc aimed at our fans in the stand behind the sticks, songs with repetitive swearing or rediculous 1 man and his dog)
This 'group' seem more than happy to just sing along with the drummer boy to anything, anytime regardless of appropriateness, anyone else joining in or relevance.
They don't represent me or my kids which is why I moved well out of the way after 20 minutes and I think I now understand why many others have moved in the South stand and why Geordie packed in !
