It's a case of attitude and opinion, not facts or numbers.
Giant Daz's reasoning for not liking Wigan fans were all based on the attitude of Wigan fans, not how many show up and not even how many walk with 20 minutes left. Your own forum is full of fickle fans who want everyone sacked when you lose or everyone knighted when you win.
Half of your fans never saw the glory years of Wigan, yet still choose to base their divine right to say you are a big club by reliving them 15 years after they ended.
This thread is about personal opinion based on their own experiences with facilities, pitches and fans, not your opinion based on the reputation you think your own fans should have.

We are a small team gradually getting better. You were a dominant team when you had the only ft squad. Since SL you are 4th or 5th in the pecking order. Some find it hard to accept this fact.
You have tried to turn a thread where fans just state their opinions into a pi55ing contest. Just because some do not rate Wigan fans...boo hoo. get over yourself.

4652.gif I wouldn't bother reading this bit, there is nothing interesting, witty or insightful down here, just this collection of boring words explaining that you really are wasting your time browsing this signature in the vain and futile hope that there will be a nugget, nay, a veritable goldmine of witticisms or divine philosophy. In reality, all you're going to get is disappointment, a sense of hopelessness and a random word.

| Facilities - Craven Park - although it was expensive at Quins
Pitch - changes from month to month
Fans - depends what you mean by worst - most aggressive Warrington; big headed Saints; poorly attended Quins. Take your pick

Incorrect. So every supporter is fickle? Does every Wigan supporter agree with every single topic on an internet forum? Your basing your opinion of Wigan fans off an internet forum....Not very credible.

But we are a big club though, aren't we? Also, to have gained 50% more support since our glory years ended actually speaks wonder for our fans, doesn't it?

Unfortunately, most 'experiences' that supporters have ''witnessed'' in regards to fans are from RLFANS.COM.

Correct, but to Cas folk Wheldon Rd is architecturally the Taj Mahal so they are a bit blinkered.

My experience of wigan fans from being unlucky enough to grow up near wigan and go to college in wigan is that a hell of a lot of them are arrogant and stuck in the glory days thinking they have a god given right to win everything.
Now I know a lot aren't like that but I can understand why these people have made it so some fans aren't keen on certain aspects of the wigan fan base.

Out of interest, what year did you go to college in Wigan?

No, I was using the fans on your forum as an example I could prove with links (or just point people towards your board). I don't have links to what people have said on Facebook, or MSN, or other forums, or in person at games.
You're one of the big 6, but not quite as high up as you think you are. At a guess, 50% of that 50% were attracted to the club by the thought of glory brought by success in recent years (sort of like Man Utd in wendyball). I'm much more impressed with the crowds that Hull FC, Hull KR and Catalans pull in despite being without glory for a number of years, if at all.
I witnessed the two attempts by Wigan fans to kick off at the HJ in the space of a week. I've witnessed the Wigan walk hundreds and hundreds of times over the years, both in person and on the telebox. I'm basing my opinion on what I have seen and experienced myself, which is why I haven't mentioned the facilities of Quins, Hull KR or Celtic, as I haven't experienced them in person.
Stop trying to change peoples opinions to be the same as yours, that just proves why people have a dislike about some your fans.
If you want me to build an opinion on every single Wigan fan, then I will require around £30k to fund my research. I have to base my opinion on Wigan fans as a whole, on what stands out the most (see my point about Celtic fans earlier)
