| Quote: NickyKiss "Is it the teams job to get the crowd going or is it the other way round?
IMO there's people being paid to be there and to entertain and the ball lies very much in the players court in terms of getting an atmosphere going by exciting and committed play.
The fans are paying good money to be entertained and will respond accordingly. I don't think Wanes got that comment right tbh.'"
I agree. He must realise conceding a try after 5 minutes, playing poorly and going on to loose the first half is not going to get the crowd going.
There will be a good atmosphere if the team is seen to be up for it even if tries are conceded but if tries [iare[/i conceded the crowd needs to believe the team are going to apply themselves properly to getting down the other end. Not continue to play like puddings.

I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.

Brian, did you applaud Van Vollenhovens try at Wembley 1961 ?, if yes, did you need a lie down in a darkened room later.

That is the one were Freddy Griffiths pushed Voll into touch just has he passed the ball back inside, if Griffiths had tackled him Voll would not have been there to take the return pass.
I was right in the corner were Wigan were attacking and to my horror I saw it all happen.
How this has finished up on a Cats Wigan thread I do not know, I must be easily led due to my age.

| Quote: Rolf Zaugg "He said there are lots of areas that they need to fix and that the atmosphere, the crowd, "lent to a poor start".
So he believes that it contributed to the initial performance, not that the poor start was all down to any one thing.
Many people have indicated their disappointment with the atmosphere at home games this season.
Although games such as Catalan, with virtually no opposition fans present, have the potential to be flat, more effort is needed from the club and the supporters to generate some energy. Whether the new rlWe Are Wiganrl group are the first step to this remains to be seen.
Their first try was great, by the way.'"
We are Wigan are talking about logos and stuff. They're getting more inclusive and cliquey the more I hear. It'll be pyro next.
