I don't think we do too bad for an atmosphere at the ground when we have big competetive games.. just look at Salford last year.. (alright the kids made a stack of noise but the rest of the fans were very vociferous also.. ) if there are decent numbers of away fans then that helps with the atmos...

I'm also more than happy to welcome any glory supporting fans or other types of fans for that matter, provided they behave themselves.

The more fans coming to games the better.. it helps with the pro-widnes noise and if they like what they see it means they are more likely to come again.

I myself am a glory-supporter that stayed on. First game was against Warrington when I was about 6 which we won and I've stayed since.

I feel as though we can be good dependant upon away following and nature of the game, but I would ideally love us to have a more varied songbook, like we did pre SL. Remember standing in that shed at Haven about 99 ish singing 'jingle bells oh what fun it is to see Widnes lose away' class

When i saw the thread title i thought it was yet another story about Paul Simon trying to get his ass out of Widnes.

I'm sitting in the railway station.
Got a ticket for my destination.
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.
And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band.
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound..........
And each town looks the same to me, especially this place called Widnes - what's that smell?
And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be,
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing.................. la la la la la.

Had he visited Halifax, he would have unpacked and stayed. That's wot i reckon anyhoo .........

You could be right, Rich. Champion Jack Dupree did. Perhaps Fax fans could sing "Nasty Boogie Woogie"

"Mama bought a chicken, she took him for a duck
Laid him on the table with his legs stuck up
Yonder come the children with a spoon and a glass
Catch the gravy droppin' from his ass, ass, ass"

Sounds like a typical Sunday in Yorkshire to me that.
