| "Go on Fearless"
Used to love the Fletcher Street end, that baying mass of Warringtonian passion. The South Stand unfortunately doesn't even come close.

| Stadium leaks sound, the stands are too far away from the pitch, with no dedicated place for the die hard fans to stand...without being surrounded by the idiots.

| What made Wilderspool the Zoo ?? The fans !!
What has happened to this feeling ?? I think the whole club - players / fans / board - have become complacent. The move to the HJ should have been the start, it appears to have been an end point for some. We can't be ar$ed when the 'lesser' clubs turn up, even (especially) the fans, we expect to win without the effort (on and off the pitch).
Atmosphere is certainly at the HJ but only for the big 2 or 3 and then only when we give them a decent contest. I think that turning the place into a bowl would help the atmosphere - shouldn't cost too much to put up a bit of roofing in each corner and then contain the whole stadium, will look much better as well - I get fed up of watching the game and then watching folk parking up for Tesco or buses passing by.
Everyone needs to have a good hard think about what they want from this rugby club, we are as much a (if not a bigger) part of this club than the players. We need to put in the effort to support in a positive way and make the HJ a fortress / a place to be feared. Maybe we reduce the size of the away dressing room and stick the away fans in a corner of the terracing rather than allowing them the comfort of the whole standing area.
A bit rambling but there are my thoughts.

| Too many JCL's at the HJ.
When we moved there, everyone wanted to be part of 'rugby', because of the Rah Rah World Cup and the positive season in 2003, both of which brought with it a feel good factor that people wanted to be part of who hadn't previously been.
It perhaps wasn't that bad until 2006, either, to be completely honest. But now, I don't even have a 'regular spec' and don't know half of the people around me when I do stand somewhere with some regularity. That is a shame, because going to the match used to be a minor social gathering, where you'd meet up with like-minded friends and have some good banter.

| what it should be
east stand all standing merging into the south stand being all standing up to about the half way when it can be seating
North stand- family and all seating (nothing changing) but link it to the east stand
West stand - away support( nothing changing)
that would probably improve the atmosphere
but it would never happen

| Maybe the HJ should be renamed as 'The Poo'
it would be very apt if not a tad silly.

| Quote mark_m="mark_m"That is the crux of the matter. You could stand in the Fletch with no women in there pretending to be interested in the game and no kids ar$ing about. It was like a gentlemens club but without wing chairs and wagers.'"
Get away Mark! I stood in the same place on the Fletch for over 15 years and my sister and her friends were there longer than that.
However I do recall my enjoyment being ruined by two women who moved into our spot for the last 18 months, who shouted rubbish in a high pitch squeal throughout and demonstrated very little interest or knowledge in the game. We were forced to move from our spot just to get away from them (either that or my volatile sister would have chinned her!).

Yeah let's get rid of the Johnny Come Latelys and their unwanted revenue and support. Actually, thinking about it, you must have been a JCL at one point in time surely...?

Its people like Hitman that will drive the club into the ground with that mindset.
Does he not remember how close the club came to going bust?
