Radders thinks we should turn the JJB into a fortress:

There's something in this but ultimately the spirit of CP that needs to be recaptured is as much about excellence on the park and the very highest standards of conditioning and preparation behind the scenes as it is about recreating that famous CP atmosphere.

We do need an atmosphere at the JJB, we need everyone who wants to sing to all stand together and cheer the lads on. This would help make our home ground a fortress, make it a hard place to play for the away team.






Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know
-
FIOS

fortresses are designed to be inpenetrable. therefore, to make the jjb into a fortress we need to be unbeatable and that aint gonna happen any time soon

I'm hoping for a cracking game and good atmosphere tonight. Leaving here in about half hour or so, and I'm excited. Not nervous and full of dread like last week.
Fingers crossed Brian, we might even get the West stand rocking :DRUMMER:
