Well there was only 10,500 with 3.5k+ Wire Fans in a big derby game.
Now lets see when they play Catalans & Quins.

| Theres only Wigan that does it I believe.
In truth every teams fans does it and we're probably not in the top 7 or 8 for how bad our fans are at it. The Bradford fans were streaming out last week but then it's not a great suprise as 50% of their attendance was made up of the happy clappers they used to have watching them in the late 90's and early 00's. They were bread on success and last week wouldn't have sit pretty with them.

That's just poor planning.
If you're only going to fill one touchline stand, make sure it's the one the TV camera points at.
Basic, basic stuff.

I like this one a lot. Examine it closely, and the culprits can actually be identified.
I'd ask Sgt Wilko and BillyRhino if they know anyone here, but they'll be hiding for the week or so, having lost.

| Sneak out Saints,
To be honest and fair all teams do it, but people love the banter.
Wigan having the bigger fan base are just more noticeable

But they are also the victim of massive exaggerations.
For Sky's cameras to focus on one guy in a Wigan shirt standing outside the Millennium Stadium a couple of years ago, making a call on his mobile phone, and Eddie to proclaim that the Wigan fans were leaving early was pretty poor even by his standards.

If 5% of 25k walk compare that with 5% of 5.5k, what looks worse ?
Not so much massive exaggeration, just the most obvious to the naked eye.

Look closely at Man United matches, win lose or draw for the biggest walk.
With fifteen minutes to go, literally thousands get up and bugger off (to beat the traffic/to get back to the airport to go back to Ireland).
The worse one I saw was against Liverpool a few seasons ago, they got pumped (3 or 4 nil), were losing heavily at half time.
With 30 minutes to go, literally 30 thousand people walked out (including my mate).
With five to go there was around 20k on, with a good chunk of that Liverpool fans obviously.
