Do you attend every game?
Do you attend reserve/academy fixtures?
How far do you have to trvel to watch Wigan RL?
Are Distant Supporters beeter by definition than Wigan Resident Supporter?
Why should supporters not express their feelings positive or negative?
Does it matter what you wear?
Does it matter how much you spend?
Who created this hierarchy of fans?
Or are we talking cliches a bit like Brian Noble does.

For your information,
Yes I do attend every home match
I attend as many acad/res fixtures as work permits
I live in wigan now but have been in HM Forces for a good few years so I have traveled a fair few miles to watch wigan play over the years
if you support a team why boo them when they lose, thats not showing loyalty
who gives a crap what I wear or how much I spend , thats being a bit childish aint it????

The questions were general questions JF  Bet you missed a few matches serving in the forces though. Now I do not think there is anything wrong with that but some might
Personally, I think supporters creating any hierachy of loyal ness / true supporterish is a bit silly.Each to their own IMO.

| i know this post has gone off the rails a little, but it really does annoy me when people leave early when were winning or if where getting beat, what do you achieve by leaving early.
the only other thing i wanna say is if your a fan you try and get behind your team and encourege them, not boo and cheer when someone catches the ball after one game in hard conditions its abit pathetic.

| For every fan that moans about not coming back next week and leaves early, there is a fan who would be there week in week out watching us get battered in NL2.
We are indeed a proud club that expects the very best, but we don't have a God-given right to win every game or even play to our abilities EVERY game. That's professional sport for you.
Take the rough with the smooth and get behind the lads.

If I went watching an act at a concert, say the arctic monkeys for example, and I had the loyalty for the arctic monkeys as I do for Wigan, then yes, I'd still applaud them regardless, because that's what a loyal fan does... I wouldn't boo them, I'd applaud them, and have the faith in them.
Just like I have faith in Wigan, I wouldn't judge them, boo them off, leave early whether it be after 1 game or 8 games... It's just not something you do to a team you follow.'"
Leaving early is not something I do but they did not get any applause off me on Sunday. Applause was not deserved and has it ever crossed your mind if you applaud rubbish like that when they do actually play well your applause are meaningless?

Agreed. I always try to stay to the bitter end, but it's difficult, if not illogical, applauding such rubbish as we were served yesterday.
Last season, the players reacted to having been booed against Huddersfield by giving us fans the cold shoulder treatment at the end of the next home game. I think the very least they must expect is the same thing in return when they let us down equally badly.

| I didn't go on Sunday - living in London means i can never get to every game. But, i think i would have booed them off too. I've done it before and i'll probably do it again. I don't want to watch a team that just turns up to play the last 10mins of every match. I don't mind if we're being completely outplayed but being outenthused is a joke. I've seen us get smashed by Saints and Leeds and stayed to applaud them off because they obviously tried their hardest under difficult circumstances, but over the past couple of years, the players/coach have started to run out of excuses. Silveware or a final this year or else Npble should be shown the door...
