For some Wigan fans a match is 75 mins long regardless of opposition, performance, scoreline, attendance. The worst I've seen in a long time was the Good Friday last minute win (Faz Try), just prior to that Saints drop the ball out under the posts and the cameras picked up streams of fans outside the stadium walking towards the canal.

This was Good Friday, full house, Wigan trailing 22-24 but were pressing for the winner with a few minutes to go. If you will leave a game like that, you'll leave any game (sadly).

I always stay to the end despite sometimes when it's like purgatory waiting for the final hooter to put me out of my misery if we [iare [/igoing to lose thinking I'd be better off making a start on the 40 odd mile journey home.

I think the last minute wins, rare events though they are, make up for the rest suffering!

We had one at home not that long ago last season against Bradford when Tuson burst through with seconds to go to win it. That one seemed more important as we were coming off the back of a couple of losses.

I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying. Michael Jordan Daily Mail - Wigan Athletic No known famous fans. Town apparently goes into hibernation when rugby league season ends.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1956.jpeg



People have their reasons to leave, people have their reasons to stay, all have paid to attend, all are fans.

I don't disagree with that. I am just not sure what difference five minutes makes to the majority of people.

Strange isn't it.

Different game but same scenario at LP tonight a woman at the side of me decided to leave with 9 minutes on the clock at 10-10. Missed one of the most magnificent victories in recent times from a young under strength side.

Officially RLFAN's most Doe-eyed Happy Clapper. Big Steve wrote: The Internet has provided some wonderful creativity, opportunities and knowledge sharing but it has also given a worldwide forum for people you would leave a full pint behind in the pub to avoid having to listen to them. aboveusonlypie... If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg

And if charlie read a little more, he would know that he is is being selective with the facts....

[quote="Frank Zappa":1sacjrvf]Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.[/quote:1sacjrvf] [quote="The_Enforcer":1sacjrvf]Most idiotic post ever goes to Grimmy..... The way to restart should be an arm wrestle between a designated player from each side.[/quote:1sacjrvf]:



I get more annoyed with the fans who just seem to turn up purely to criticise. Criticise the team, criticise the officials, boo at half time, carry on the same in the second half, then go home loudly proclaiming how we got lucky, will win nothing and Saints/Leeds would have stuck 40 past us. They are usually the loudest fans in the place as well! Are you even a supporter if you do that, or just a spectator?
