Quote: Katrina "I'm not going... I can't be d trekking over the M62 on a Sunday to watch a team that very rarely bothers to turn up just for 80 mins.

I'll still be going to the home games, they've already been paid for, but I doubt i'll be attending many away games, if any.'"


Tbh although I am one of the more optimistic ones on here I am quite glad I am in the lakes for the weekend.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery....... I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself. Radio 5 Live, Sat, April 14th, 2007,...Dave Whelan, "In Wigan, rugby will always be king" 'I was certain, positive, convinced, and yet..........unsure' 'It's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it' Worry will not prevent destiny from unfolding.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3632.jpg



I'm going.............and win or lose I'll go again next week, and the week after, it is hard now watching performances like that we got at Celtic, but I've been doing this for 50 years now and believe me I've seen worse,not much, but worse, so its all aboard the coach 12 o'clock Sunday, probably moaning all the way home, then looking ahead to the next game, a new coach in charge, new players (hopefully) coming in next year, a Cup Semi to look forward to, its the roller coaster ride all over again..............all aboard !!!!! icon_wink.gif

Quote: Bolton_Warrior "

Now after the events of the last 24 hours I feel really guilty about not going and getting behind the team and the club.
'"


I think had the events of the last 24 hours occurred when people were not already totally fed up with the way things are then there may have been some sort of 2006-like rally to support the team.

Unfortunately I think a lot of people see it as just yet another symptom of the general poor state the club is perceived to be in.

In the past when the team has lost matches, sometimes down to a really poor performance I left the ground seething but come the next week have always felt the team needs my support even more to get back on track.

At the moment that emotion to redouble the support for the team has gone. If it were not for the fact my Dad gets out very little these days and the matches are one of the few times he does and also I want my son to get into the tradition of going to matches, I would find it very easy to simply not bother. A home game to me is a longer journey than some away matches for some people so its not much fun to be driving to the game thinking they will most likely lose. I sometimes think I must be mad to keep doing it.

Dave

As much as it hurts watching us at the moment I can never see myself not going. Wigan RL is in my blood and is in fact my life I cannot imagine my life without watching Wigan. I'll be there on Sunday

I wouldnt be shocked if i have seen my last Wigan game for 2009.'"

Terrible supporter should be ashamed. No doubt if you reach the cup final youll go tho.

Not a terrible supporter at all, he's expressing the feelings of thousands of Wigan fans, a lot of players at this club show no nothing to make us believe they want to be at this club, so why should people spend good money to go and watch them?

I don't blame people anymore - I used to be someone who thought boo'ing the team off the pitch was disgusting, but when the team can't be bothered, why should the fans? Don't blame anyone for not going - I go for the rugby now, not Wigan, I just simply love rugby league.

What I would like to know though, is will all you people who say 'I'm not going Hull KR' be attending the semi-final against Warrington? And if we win? Will you be attending the final? If your willing to give up your support against Hull KR in a league match, how come your not gonna give up on the semi? icon_lol.gif

I can understand people not going. It's expensive and time consuming & can totally see why people wouldn't want to waste those sacrifces on performances that are heavily under achieving as well as off the field behaviour that puts darks clouds over the culture within the team.

For me personally though, I feel just as part of Wigan Rugby League as any player or coach and will contunue to follow and support my club even if certain people within the club (regardless of their role) are letting the rest of us down.
