I'm not one to sing anti-Wigan songs or boo, but I can certainly understand supporters fustations when the players are playing poorly.

By certain sections of the crowd showing their fustration, it might get through to players the sacrifices that supporters make to actually follow them to places like Perpignan.

Without this being directed towards any posts in this thread, I do find it funny how some supporters feel threatened by other supporters who are willing/able to follow the team every game which puts themself into insecurity. But reality is, if it wasn't for die hards including those who were in Perpignan, then there probably wouldn't be a Wigan Rugby League.

Why did you delete your post? That was a classic rant.

Not slagging anyone off just extremely sick of being told how we can support the club. I did edit my post after ranting.

Boo, Hiss,



How dare you suggest there are better fans etc etc.....

because its rubbish?

Animal Farm spring to mind

Who told anyone anything?

but yet the original post is slagging fans off about how they support the club........ i neither boo'ed nor sang happy happy songs but I can seriously understand the frustration after spending thousands of pounds watching this team, fans want a bit of pride in the shirt - they dont even have that

Anyway, I've taken over from Dave Whelan as the no. 1 Wigan fan, and am therefore above a category 1 fan. Lock the thread.

People are being called seals for clapping, they are told we shouldn't sing a particular song. Most people on here are frustrated by what we see on the pitch but it doesn't mean we have to stop supporting our club. I hate it when fans sing you're not fit to wear the shirt as it can appear to be directed at [uall[/u the players. What have the likes of Ainscough and Tompkins done to deserve that. There has got to be something more going on that we don't know about. How can a team put out a performance like they did against saints on Thursday then go and perform so badly on Monday.

but by the same token, what have the 'underachievers' done to earn the praise of the crowd?

Only by fans as frustrated as you. They are just trying to find differnet ways to express it. The team always have the fans underlying support, but after some of the dross we have seen this season, they cant expect auto applause just because they play for Wigan.

Tomkins & Ainscough aren't part of the long term problem, but they are in the team currently and will have to deal with fan response. A quick scan over a message board like this would show them what fans think, but when they are on the field, to expect them to be excluded from anything is unrealistic.
