FC Baldy, not sure how much of Lowes career you have followed but you need to bear in mind he has been on the coaching staffs of Challenge Cup winnings sides and Grand Final Winning sides, as well as moving to an alien sport and coming within a whisker of getting them promoted to the top league in RU.

I bet most FC fans would welcome that type of underachievement.

i listen to blunderside as i try to get out the car park the amount of people who say a n other was poor today and when asked if they went say "oh no i couldnt make it, but it sounded on radio he was poor" these people will go on radio and appear foolish so an anonamous post dosent seem beyond them.
but i take your point

Fair play to you and yes to a certain extent I agree with your point regarding radio supporters Too.

I think that level of underachievement would be an improvement on our current level of underachievement.
Lowes reluctantly accepted his limitations first time around and went and did something about it.
Our current incumbent should have the decency to do likewise.

What was interesting about that season is the fact our average attendance in 2006 was the highest it had been since 1994. Ask a lot of Wigan fans and it will be one of their favourite seasons following the club. The club was being mismanaged on a number of fronts, but the support realised it needed to back the team at all costs.

only difference is, you didnt struggle for the next 5 or 6 seasons promising so much and delivering little

We've won 1 of the last 8, right? So on form that'll be 1 from the last 11 games of the season. Not making life easy for the season pass campaign, that's for sure.

pass holders bbq should be interesting!

Not read the thread after your post but as you say unbelievable. In Radders we trust

Awkward.

To whoever it was who called me patronising you don't understand plain English.
I said clearly that there are those fans who prefer not to buy passes when things are tough.
It's always been like that. Make your own valid choice and stick with it would be my thinking.
There will always be those who stick with it and pay the price during the tough times. If you listen to the current owner (and those who came before) you'll know that season pass holders are the lifeblood of the club. They allow it to plan and budget for the future giving at least some stability to an overall precarious business. Without them the business ceases some time sooner or later - see Mrs. B's Bully Bully reference.

Those who stick with the club in thin times will have ensured that the next good times will be possible. Those who didn't will be welcomed back into the fold but shouldn't feel offended when their absence is noted. It doesn't make them any better or worse - it's always been that way and always will be.

As for "disgusting people" supporting their club with hard cash - well I have no time left to comment on that. I have a nice cup of tea and a piece of FRUITCAKE waiting for me.

Haven't had time to read the full thread. So, how's the meltdown going?
