2004 Play-off game, Wigan Vs Wakefield. They only had one gate open because, to quote the steward, "we didn't expect this many to turn up". Think we got sat down about 12 minutes into the game. Morons.

Any club takes a bit of a bashing when they’re in a real bad run. Look at Leeds this year (a lot of that led from Wakey fans themselves. Hull were getting some end of last year/start of this when they went on a long losing streak. Catalans first half of 2018 etc. going back through different seasons.
That they have a lot of fans posting on the VT (or did when they were winning) in comparison to others lends to it as well. A number of other clubs hardly have any activity on their own boards let alone have their fans posting on the VT, it’s the same for Leigh really as you have more posters on the VT than any other Championship club really.
Also they aren’t a small town nor do they generally punch above their weight.

To be honest I thought he had a decent game (should have started for me, why bring him on at 0-1icon_cool.gif?
Was a bit niggly and whingy but I'd have him at Wigan tomorrow, been saying this for the last five years.

I know we do. Most championship fans use totalrl.com, but very few Leythers do so. Even though it's an excellent forum for champ/league 1 clubs supporters.

| Wakefield will be even deeper in the mire when we get beat on Sunday.
Their efforts last night had the words 'relegation' stamped all over it.

I think that we (Trinity fans) took over the baton from the Leigh fans, for being a bit too noisy on the VT and due to our abysmal form, all those ruffled feathers are being "straightened".
To be fair, we are now, very easy targets and I'm ok with the banter
To serve up the dross that we did for the first 40 minutes against only half a Wigan side, deserves some ridicule.
Yes, Fifita put his hand up and played pretty well on 1 leg but, with confidence utterly busted, it's going to be a long time until the end of the season, which, right now, cant come soon enough.
After the expectations of early season, we are left hanging on to avoid the drop.
It was much more fun when Leeds were bottom of the pile

Indeed, many of them are just pleased that we have deflected attention from their own mickey poor season.
Mind you, we're doing it in spectacular style

I can understand some of them giving us some stick after all some of our fans have dished it out on here, but it gets annoying that such as the fake frog from Chorley that cretin from Runcorn and lost in space sorry ruuBron108 dish it out as they have no connection to any club, it's a shame they don't have any family life.

It’s not deflecting from how poor Leeds have been but I do recall when Wakey beat Leeds at Easter with a weakened team that SOME of your fans boasted of how your club is full of guys giving everything for the shirt and have a special team spirit and Leeds players don’t understand that being at a club like Leeds and that your fans wouldn’t turn on a coach so quickly like Leeds fans did with Furner.
Even Chester was saying a dozen or so games ago that his Wakefield side may not always win but they’ll never be beaten for effort in a game.....no team look lacking in effort more throughout the league recently.

Their fans declared they were a big club on here after a couple of wins!
