Stop booing. When you boo you make Currie miss tackles, make King look like a completely ineffective centre, destroy the kicking game and make the pack struggle to make yards. You are contributing to the problem. Cheer and clap like you are supposed to.

| i believe it was a meeting with representatives of the supporters trust, and the newly formed(this year) wire fan panel possibly some others as well.
They were asking for questions on twitter and on their facebook pages a few weeks back, then it went quiet.

| People don’t boo for bad results, they boo poor effort. Look at the saints game, the atmosphere was electric given we where we were as a club, and the players got a good reception.
If players were running through brick walls for the club, the coach and the fans, the fans would return the favour. Until then, it’s your problem.

| There's a lack of concentration and a lot of ball watching in our performances, and not enough being in the zone going on. Part and parcel of being a pro sportsperson is being able to concentrate, control what your doing and getting your game flowing, without being distracted by either your opponents, or the crowd. Our performances are a mess this season, and maybe crowd reaction is now a factor, but 15 rounds of dross (with one or two exceptions) accounts for it.
Back to you DP and your staff to halt us going backwards, and to move us forward.

| The team have developed a habit of falling apart and throwing the towel in around the hour mark. If Mr Powell wants to refund me 25% of my costs then I'll stop booing.
Actually, I don't boo. I'm too old for that, these days I just shake my head in the same way I do when I see 13 yr olds in Ramones t-shirts.

| Hi, i am a member of the fan panel, there are around 15 of us....
I believe there will be a release on the twitter page sometime this week with a review of the meeting with Daryl & Karl.....
It was a very open meeting and i came away feeling better about the direction we are heading....
At the Pre season fans forum they asked for people to express an interest in being involved on the panel.....

It was advertised on the club website and was free.....
The Fans Forum was then also played on the website so anyone could hear it and apply to be on the fans panel

| If poor Mr Powell doesn't understand why Warrington fans are booing then may I respectfully point him in the direction of (Sir) Mike Gregory's autobiography "Biting Back".
On page 46 he writes......
"The Warrington people hadn't had success for a few years, but there's no speccy in the world as good. They are very knowledgeable and appreciative of hard work. What they like is honesty. They want the team to try; if they fail, they fail, but they expect honesty. They know when players don't put it in."
Captain Marvel got us, the Emporer with his new clothes could do a lot worse than read his book.

Today's internet winner.
I'm not some kind of "slapped ar5e", who demands wins every week. Defeats are inevitable. What I won't accept is defeats week after week, and lack of effort. Unfortunately, we're getting that in skipfulls, now.
Attendances will dwindle, and Moran and Middleton are businessmen. Their money (and patience) will only go so far.
Time for Powell and Sheridan to put up and shut up

I don't think booing the players is helpful but when coaches start talking about this in the media it never ends well. No fans of a team are going to say "we're going to stop booing because we've been asked to". You hear this a lot in football, a manager will say "our fans are the best fans in the world at away games but at home games they boo and put too much pressure on the players" and you generally know that manager is approaching the end of his time at the club.
Players and coaches just need to realise they can influence the fans reaction with their performances. Fans have short memories, you can call it being fickle. I remember early in 2001 there was a really toxic atmosphere in some of the early games at Wilderspool, the boo boys were out in force, DVDV was unpopular, then we played Bradford in a Cup semi and went toe to toe with them for an hour before they pulled away from us. We lost but the stadium was rocking, with the drum and Wire chants, they got a huge ovation. Then in the next few weeks the atmosphere completely turned around. I think we beat Leeds and Saints at home and I remember an away game at the Shay where Gary Mercer was pumping up the crowd after we scored and the atmosphere was electric. That year I remember some of the most raucous intense atmospheres I'd seen as a Wire fan, and a lot of it turned round in that wholehearted effort in a defeat in the Cup semi.
