Yes but his comment wasn't about whether you're entitled to spend your money elsewhere or not. Of course you are. But does a latics fan, for example, choosing to spend his money at football still entitle him to call himself a Warriors fan? Of course it doesn't! Where you choose to spend your money dictates whether you're a fan or not otherwise we're all fans of everything!

Anyway, that's by the by as I believe the comment was about 'fans' hoping their team loses etc. which is exactly the definition of what a fan isn't.

You interpreted my comment well Phuzzy. My terminology was 'supporters'. I just don't see the supportive nature of somebody wanting their club to lose?
We all know the standard of RL hasn't been great for most of the season but I'll continue to support the club. I'll turn up when I can, I'll cheer, I'll rant etc. I just can't see how anybody could genuinely want their club to lose.

I agree. I've had a season ticket since 1977 but I won't be renewing this time unless major changes are made in the off season. I don't enjoy going to the games anymore. I am not a fan who expects to win every game but I do expect to be entertained.

In all my years of watching Wigan I don't think I have ever been as bored as I have this season. I accept that we have had a large number of injuries but whilst the playing personnel may have changed in recent weeks the style of rugby hasn't. A few weeks ago after the Catalan game John Winder stated that the players had been told to play boring rugby, and this was certainly the case for the first 60 minutes or so. Yes, this may have produced a result but it also produced yet another display that was painful to watch.

I remember Maurice Lindsay saying years ago that we were in the entertainment industry. How things have changed. If I wanted to watch wrestling then I would watch that s**t on TV.

If this makes me a bad fan then so be it.

Me neither mate. I've been as dissatisfied as the next man by the standards this year but I've not paid my money to hope they don't get a shot at the title or the opportunity to defend the WCC next year. I ALWAYS want Wigan to win regardless of circumstance and, for those saying we have no chance in the final, remember Sheffield at Wembley or St Helens, Grand Final winners 2014. I believe no one gave those a chance either!

That said, I think it will be a moot point come 10 o clock tonight.

I always want Wigan to win as well. I hate losing and after a loss will want various members of the team sacked along with the coach, the ref to be shot and Eddie Hemmings hung, drawn and quartered. I will swear blind I won't be going to the next game but I usually do. And whan I am on my way my optimism returns. If we have injuries I imagine a young player coming in and having a stormer. That sort of thing. Well that is how it has been up to this last couple of seasons. I now go to games hoping we don't lose. There is a big difference. I used to be able to think of why, even when the odds were against us with players missing, we could win the game. Now I can't.

As to Wakefield it's probably not going to matter but if the players throw Wane's playbook away and play what is in front of them I see no reason why that squad could not win comfortably. Play by the Wane playbook and forget it. If by some miracle a win did get us into the top four, the only chance we have of doing a Sheffield is if the players tell Wane to shove off. Mind you given the resources Wigan have and the players we have we should be genuine contenders not underdogs.
