| Serious question not an angry an angry or nasty one..
The reason i'm bringing this up is because i was in Wetherspoons having a prematch beer bumped into a lad i know who attends Wire game although i don't stand with him. When i asked if he was going his reply was "no £15 is a f*****g rip off to watch us against Swinton and last week was S**t aswell"...
I was slightly taken aback by this so i said "against Cas we were awesome what you talking about?"...
He said "yeah but it was boring"....I just shook my head and got back to my pint because this same guy was someone who used to say he wasn't going back to games until we started winning (Cullen and Lowes era)...?
Anyway coming out of the ground after a storming and very professional performance against Swinton i heard a fair few again muttering about it being too easy and not being entertained...?
Now the reason i'm little bit peeved is, if this was say Wigan or Leeds beating Swinton,Cas,Quinns,Keigthley by these scorelines i'm pretty sure the same people would be saying "Thats what Wire should be doing"
I for one have waited a long time to see a team like this i wish some people could just enjoy it instead of finding anything to be negative about..

| Some people (not many, but some) don't realise that the function of the club is to win games and make money.

| You know i was thinking the other day about how good Wire are and i had a crazy thought.
I hope i don't get bored of a potential Wire dominance.
There's something a little special about being around speccies who know the team they are watching are absolute c--p yet still turn up and sing regardless.
Now you don't have that special feeling when you're always battering teams, you look around and think "did you watch us when we were c--p, did you sing for the cause even though you knew we were rubbish or are you here just because we are winning"?
Don't get me wrong i never begrudge new support, but they don't feel as 'special'.

| I can't understand how people can moan at games like this. I started going to games in about 1999 so I'm too young to remember a team anywhere near as good as this one. I don't think I'm going to get bored if we improve even further and start a period of dominance. I'm just glad I'm not watching some of the rubbish I've had to over the years.

| I feel privileged watching this team, and yes in the past we've been rubbish but I'll always love that feeling i get before the game and sometimes during and after the game.

Do you think the club would have made more money if they had reduced the admission price for last night?

| Some people just don't want to go to the match, which is fine. But instead of being honest and saying I don't want to go they say that we are not winning or winning to much or too boring or too dominant.
What they really mean but haven't the mental strength to say is I don't want to go.

The answer is a simple no, and a complicated no.

| The performance was incredibly entertaining, but then thats mostly subjective, but the majority would have enjoyed it.
Winning and losing is cyclical in some respects but there will always be something to complain about and people to make those complaints. This board is never as busy as when we get beat, I could probably name 2-3 posters who I guarantee will comment on a loss and not on a win.
We've been through it many times before, just as players have their standard media soundbite answers like "no easy games", "forwards setting a platform", "winning ugly" "great to play for a big club" etc so do fans. How many times do you hear or see fans come out with "disgrace", "joke", "one man rugby", "no clue" when referring to players, coaches, referees or administrators. Invariably incorrectly and without any actual experience or knowledge of the situation they comment upon, that's a given in sport and general opinion. It would be boring if we all had the same opinion, but people seem to get mixed up between their opinion and fact.

| skip back 10 years to 2001, and we struggled to beat woolston in the cup.
Let em moan, you just enjoy the feast we're enjoying at the moment, regardless of the results as tony's saying, we're playing some glorious rugby, which, if you're a fan of the sport in general, you can't fail to enjoy.
Attack or defence, its textbook RL at its finest.
Rather than the boring stifled smothering negative submission style applied by 'other' teams.

| I have been supporting the wire for 17 years, and in that time i've rarely felt confident about going to matches. I travel home and away whenever i can, and have done for those whole 17 years. Now for 16 of those years we were rubbish, so am i going to go to the games when we are good? of course i am.
I've seen teams like Bradford bugger teams like swinton time and time again and thought, i'd love that to be us, even last year we beat featherstone in the cup and i thought, we should have done better, and could have done. this year we have done what we are told to do, take it seriously, play what is infront of you and beat it.
It was an absolute pleasure to be at the game last night, watching your team score 100+ points is outstanding no matter what the opposition. For all of you who Couldn't attend last night, i feel for you, for those who chose not to go because it was only swinton, or it was too expensive? Balls, we set records last night, and you werent there, so i feel sorry for you because it was brilliant.

I couldn't get to the game..its a long way up from these parts on a Friday M6....if it had been Wigan..I would have taken time off work...but as it was Swinton, I listened on the Radio...It was remarkable..as was the win v Cas.
It wasn't that long ago we were getting slaughtered by Saints, Leeds, Bradford....SLAUGHTERED. I have never, ever thought about walking away from this team as a supporter...
even when we are being beaten 80 - 0....you dust yourself off and keep the faith (just!)...that one day you might support a team that can be rightly called the best in the land...
we are NOT there yet, there are really really hard matches to come, the salary cap means the top of Super League is the most competitive it has ever been...but I believe the road is there for us to journey on...for the first time in my lifetime (40 years) we have a real opportunity to stand up and say "you know what..this team IS the best in the land"....and one of the greatest Warrington teams of all time....I am just enjoying every minute of it...what supporter wouldn't?
"You only sing when your winning"....we should enjoy singing a lot!

As i said fella, in your case it's not hard to say okay, a long trip for an easy match, no problem.
It frustrates me when it's the idiots that can't be bothered coming from orford or wherever.

Idiots is a bit strong mate, i would imagine some of our fans aren't blessed with plenty of the Queens head.

As i'd said before though yed, if you can't afford it then that's fine, it's a valid reason. But for the people that say well it's only Swinton, it's embarrassing, in years gone by these would have been the only games we were fairly sure of winning and so loads turned up.

| I can see where some people are coming from on this. If you are smashing teams every week, it does become boring. Watching sport should be about the contest and the unpredictability.
If we were to play Wigan in a final or an important game and come from behind to win in the last minute the majority of the people watching would get better enjoyment out of that than if we beat them 30-nil.

| for me the best thing is watching your team dominate your opponents. what makes it better this year is that we are ruthless whilst doing it, we just dont take our foot of the gas.

| I, dont think some people just moan at
the rugby they moan in general without
being aware they are doing it, i have
worked with people like this.
They aren't comfortable when things
are going well because there's
nothing to get their teeth into, i dont
think they mean anything by it, just
in their make up as a person.
