i cant believe how much we're hated.

to be honest it doesnt bother me, i'll still always support the wire , coz deep down i know that in every club there is bad fans and good fans, there are fans that leave early and fans that stay to the end no matter what, it can't be helped.
seriously, you've had bad experiences at warrington, well every club has had bad experiences at some places. I, personally have only seen trouble once and that was at home to hull. i dont make a big deal of it though and go as far to say as i hate hull fc ! because thats just a small minority of idioitic fans, and why should the club have a bad name because of these mindless idiots.

it seems like your judging a club because of some fans. judge us by the club, not the fans. we are only a few miles apart, us , wigan and saints. surely we, as people aren't that different

You sure your a wire speccy ? Far too much common sense and compassionate logic written here......

The only time I get truly nervous as a Wigan fan is when we play Stains. No-one else matters.

Excellent well reasoned post.
Here's my take on things.

I don't hate any particular team or spectators. 99% of all RL speccies I have met are decent people who want their team to win.

Here's a bit of advice, for all fans particularly at away games. If you go for a beer or a cup of tea pre match go and say hello to the opposing fans. Have a bit of a chat with them. It's amazing, they actually talk to you, and you learn things. A player you may not rate (or know) will crop up in the conversation and they will say "he does this or that for the team" and when you watch you may hmmm I was wrong. And I'll tell you what else happens the next time you play that team, that person will come over and have RL discussion with you and your mates.

Try it some time, you'll see it works. There are more good people than bad people in this world and it's about time it was recognised.

I know who your talking about!

PS

Wire are really Pushing his Patience Now though!

I think we can safely say we do this Brian?

PS

What time you setting off, Picking Jimmy "If they were playing for my life I'd want Saints to Lose" Up around 4ish.
Was thinking of going in the Supporters club?

you never hate the crap teams do you?

that defeat at the DW must have really hurt


we beat you on the pitch,and we beat you off the pitch...


Wire till I die.

This Thread should of ended after this post, well said and absolutely spot on.

Ps Cant understand some of your fans saying a wire loss for the sake of wigan ... to be honest i cant see us catching you for the league leaders shield now anyway weather we beat saints or not ... well done on a great league campaign and bring on the playoffs .

Any Wigan fans going to this game out of interest ?

On ferry on the way back from ireland and have taken time to read all the
comments with plently of guiness down.

I agree with pretty much everything that has been said.

I'm not spitting my dummy out this time cos i've probably lost it already in
that first post! but the reason i spat my dummy out was because of all
the stuff about crap fans and a crap rugby club where you guys don't have
respect.

I'll defend my team and my fans like yourselves and I accept a lot of
what's been said on here but to have a number of your fans calling us
false fans and a proper team; doesn't sit well.

You'll find, (myth like) that most wire fans have a hell of a lot of respect
for wigan's fans and history, and a side with mgwire at the helm this season.
I've got 20 secs left on this ferry link. all the best

No doubt you are a genuine fan, none of us have problems with people like you. Its a sad fact that a few idiots can easily tarnish the reputation of the rest.

I hope you lose on saturday though!

I hate the fact children still die of starvation and disease....I dislike any opposing team..but its sport..to say I hate Saints, Wigan, Leeds...way over the top.
