Of course I watch the football on sky sports. I'm not a fan though cos I don't go. Simple really.'"
So you cannot be a fan of something unless you actually go to watch it live?? Is this for real?? |

| Quote: Harry Pinner " Leeds are worst for this, watch on Saturday and you'll see headingley 3/4 empty, playing Cats will make it worse.'" Average attendances over last 5 play off games:
St Helens - 12,041 (HKR/Warr/Wig/Hud (last game at KR)/Warr)
Leeds - 11,482 (Sts/Wake/Hull/Wig/Catalan)
Wigan - 9,102 (Hudd/Leeds/Leeds/Catalan/Catalan)
None of them great for the biggest games of the season but Wigan's look disproportionately poor compared to the others. |

| Quote: The Ghost of '99 "Average attendances over last 5 play off games
Looking at Wigan's games above three are from Yorkshire and two are South of France.
Saints have three derbies - two Warrington & one Wigan in theirs, that's got to be worth 1,500 to 2,000 in the difference on average just on away support alone, so hardly comparable.

So basically, if anyone on here hasn't been to every single Wigan game, including acadamy level, since the day they were born, can't claim to be a fan, and must never voice an opinion as to how they saw the performance of the last game they saw.
Cat 789924 fans only.
And don't call yourself a 'fan': instead use: supporter, officianado, devotee, or enthusiast.
And as for the person who thinks it's easy to get to a game from down here, you've clearly never driven the 167 miles up the M1 and M6 or A50 at that time of a working day. And getting back home after midnight isn't always condusive when you have children, and work in the morning.
But don't let other people choose to live their lives their own way. If they don't conform, you can always insult them and make yourself feel self-righteous!!

An apology
As I'm clearly in a minority of one. Time to face facts. I thought that anyone who considered themselves to be "fans" would actually go the game. I was wrong.
Still every cloud and all that. Turns out I am now a fan of
New Zealand Warriors, Catalan Dragons, liverpool FC, Boston Red Sox, Lancashire CCC and Rory McIlroy! Who knew?
Regards AUOP
PS see you at the game next Friday? (Maybe not)

The Mods have decided to be the judge of who can and can't be regarded as a fan.
Once we have come up with a completely arbitary and random set of measures that abuse our power, we'll get back to you.
