Re: FOA the singers at Wrexham
 

Come on Mick, for years at Accy in the League & Non-League we've shouted at each other for 90 minutes then had a beer with em in the bar afterwards............:)

Re: FOA the singers at Wrexham
 

I agree, we used to not even sing at Barrow and still the trouble came. I'm not condoning the use of ignorant or abusive chants about the opposition and have and will sing songs that others may deem offensive, but there are some I wouldn't sing just because they are too near the knuckle. There are chants that the Ultras wouldn't go near because that isn't their modus operandi.

Clubs that have numpties that want to attack the other fans generally know about it and should take steps to prevent it happening again. These muppets in my experience only go for the more vocal fans because that is their way of coping with being outsung at home. For that reason Stanley will be targeted by the silly soft core hooligan. The more ferocious and violent hooligan would never come near Stanley because we have no element of thugs with us. The 'true' hoolie does not attack scarfers and that is what our fanbase would be known as.

& nobody would've attacked me dressed as Ethel............

One of the boys outside the bus shouted "there's a transvestite on the bus"

I'm sure Wrexham have some real hooligans but the lads trying to act hard were just kids

Re: FOA the singers at Wrexham
 

the minibus was being attacked by alot of squeeky voiced little children banging on it thinking its hard and they where videoing the whole thing and i didnt see a steward or police officer anywhere! aswell southern red i bet you didnt see Mcevilly sticking his fingers up at us and celebrating there goal did you! thats why some of the chants where swearing and directed at him from us.

no accrington fans tried to start at all and our fans where singing for accrington in the stand and outside but it was the wrexham fans who were coming over and swearing directly at us!

Re: FOA the singers at Wrexham
 

so no one squared up to you in the car park before you got to the bus then jase?

Re: FOA the singers at Wrexham
 

I have to confess, I do condone the so-called "Offensive" Chanting. It's part and parcel of football, it's all meant in jest.And has Jase has already pointed out, we've chanted so-called offensive chants at the opposition before and shared a friendly pint with them after the match.

Wrexham just have their share of idiots much like Colchester and Barrow, people intent on causing trouble just for the sake of it.

"Fake Stone Island, you look like a Tramp!"

Re: FOA the singers at Wrexham
 

I thought this was a very good thread starter, well written and thoughtful. It gave full credit to the passion and volume of support. The "incident" rather took us away from the point.

We outsung the Welsh in their own backyard,FACT.

I, and a few others thought maybe 5% was out of order, no big deal, but worth pointing out.

The Ultras entry into the stadium lifted the atmosphere considerably, and the volume was brilliant, considering how much you'd drunk the night before. I thought McEvilly made you take your eye off the ball, and the anti welsh thing was overdone. These are very minor quibbles.

But I think you're better than that.

Going back to Bury away, everybody else joined in, but I'm not joining in, on where, exactly, to put Tom Jones. (How outdated, we were still in the League when he started out)

Hope I've made sense.

PS. The only Wrexham chant I heard, was "Only sing when you're winning", only just heard it, cos you lot hadn't actually shut up.

PPS. Now I know who Willie Miller is, where do you get your dresses from? Hilda would love one like that.

Re: FOA the singers at Wrexham
 

I'm looking forward to Rochdale away, when no doubt, we will have another huge (by our standards) following. The Ultras will mass, the flags will wave, the ticker tape will flutter, the drums will beat, the hoardes will roar.

We need to start cranking up the hype well before this game and ensure the best and noisiest ever travelling support

Re: FOA the singers at Wrexham
 

Cart On, yeah, let's big it up. Is that what they say these days?
