Anyone who paid to watch last night and lasted longer than an hour deserves praise in my book. Utter dross from the players who seemingly didn’t fancy bothering so why should the fans.
Good luck to the club window dressing next weeks attendance figure, after last nights wimpish display.

Could be a reason ?
My old dad watched Wigan since the late 1920's - he passed away in 2014 aged 91. From his mid 80's, he couldn't physically attend matches. |

Of course there are many reasons for not attending any more. Health issues, money issues... Etc.
But when you start a post condemning supporters for leaving early and stating silly remarks like "you are either a fan or not a fan" whilst in the same breath admitting you don't attend matches anymore (for whatever reason) don't expect not to be called out over it.
If the club had an extra few thousand '70 minute fans' rather than 'SKY Sports fans' we wouldn't be reporting big losses this year. |

Who are you to say when a fan can or can’t leave? I left with just under 10mins to go, I did the same on Good Friday. I paid the money for a ticket and it’s my right to leave whenever I want to. I’d suggest to you to stop throwing stones in glass houses and actually go to a game.

Are you old enough for a pint and a pie?
Phil Bailey doesnt eat pies or drink pints.

I do not go to games now but one thing i would never do is leave the game with over 30 minutes left!I was there in 2005 when Wigan lost 75-0!. What is the point in spending 20 quid or so and travelling and leaving with a third of the game to go Your either a fan or not a fan! either turn up for games or stay until at least the last 10 mins even when they are getting a serious beating ![]()
So what? What business is it of yours or anybody elses even if they leave before the kick off?

I left on 58 minutes, what's the problem? Beat the traffic and got a takeaway on the way home. We was 30 points behind at the time, and im struggling to see what kind of pleasure id have gotten out of the last 22 minutes? Id more than seen enough. If you are going to have a go at anyone, have a go at the season ticket holder that don't even turn up for play off games, not people who DO turn up but leave early.

He's got a great suggestion about Friday - Let Salford Win
Quote: Grimmy "No matter which way around you play them, they will get knocked from pillar to post at Old Trafford (if we should even get there).
Just let Salford have a shot at Saints. At least they have a set of forwards that will actually get stuck in and not stand around looking shell shocked as the backs try to make metres.
Last thing we need is to allow Saints some more gloating to add to the 75-0. I cant think of anything worse than a Grand Final drubbing to Saints. I was there when Bradford took us apart in the Grand Final and its a horrible feeling.'" |

Correct, they'd spill 
You're in danger of damaging your whole 'Enforcer' image. It all worked perfectly before with 'stick forwards on the wing, introduce armwrestles to games, bring back Skerrett, I can lift more pints than you!' but you're wrecking it by suggesting we should have conceded the WCC and now let the opposition beat us in the Final Eliminator  |

Ill tell you now, if Lam had heeded my advice at the start of the season and brought Skerrett in to put some fire into our forwards, they wouldnt of been stood around like one of Lewis's whilst the Saints forwards ran past them unopposed. I warned our forwards had a soft underbelly and i have been proven right again.
I never said we should of conceded the WCC, i said we should of pulled out after we won the GF to concentrate on the season ahead and i never said we should let the opposition beat us on Friday. I was speaking as a fan, let Salford have a go, they at least have a bit of firepower in the forwards, we dont.
