| Quote ="Milly"Nope, can't say I'm particularly happy. Why would I be happy that the club I support is struggling?
However I can see that changes are being made. I know what to expect when I go to watch, so when we do turn the corner I'll be thrilled. I've spent the last 20+ years waiting for our turn and have seen us play better and have seen us play worse. I accept that TS is ringing the changes, that some players will leave and others will thrive and improve. I also accept that 20 years of mediocrity ain't gonna be fixed over night. I'm not a booer - don't see the point, but I don't clap and cheer fresh air either.
How do you know that the players don't want to play? There are loads of reasons why a player will under perform. It's not like walking into an office and sitting behind a desk. They turn up, get battered, bruised, abused and booed every week - I wouldn't want to play either!

Brilliant post.
I have never booed this club in 35 years of being a supporter and don't intend to start now.

| We played today like headless chickens. No leader on the pitch. For Gods sake how can Morley be captain when he only plays 40-50 minutes max. We need a captain on the field the full 80 minutes who can dictate the game. And the answer is..........Not got a clue with this lot of tripe.

We need a half back on the pitch who can direct us around it, today we didn't have one and I don't think either of the two have that ability.

| We've got to have Briers out there, as captain, for the full 80.
People have a go at him but we're a different side going forward with Briersy and he's the only one who'll get them in a huddle and start pointing fingers and barking the orders consistently.
Mozza is a great player and leads by example but he can't be the captain, who's he gonna tell what to do, the exercise bike?

People didn't really boo at Wilderspool (I certainly can't recall anything of note). However Warrington would normally always show spirit and to be honest, people never really expected anything anyway. Now they do.

Me too. I never saw the Rodwell incident but I did see a bunch of passionate supporters outside the players entrance protesting.
Think it is wrong to describe all those who protested as titheads.

Maybe your right.
I just think it's completely the wrong way to go about it. Have some class. Shouting and screaming abuse like some sort of animal never helped anyone achieve anything.

I don't disagree with you on the "shouting and screaming". I was more an observer rather than protagonist, as were a lot of people.
I also believe that the sit in against Cas last year hastened the departure of PC and that that was in the best interests of the club in the mid-long term.

I'm sorry Geordie, but, with respect, that is a load of nonsense. Even in 2003, the Wilderspool farewell year when everything was looking like we had a rosy future, the atmosphere was at times like a morgue. And on many occasions at Wilderspool the booing was very fierce. People allow nostalgia to fade their memories.

My take on it completely. We never expected anything in the last few years at Wilsderspool. Ever since we moved, it felt succcess should be immediate becuase we were in a shiny new environment. It is only over the past two to three years were I really thought we have under achieved. By that, I don't mean winning the CC or GF, but actually challenging for them.

| I've never understood this myth about the Wilderspool atmosphere. Few and far between was my memory, especially where I stood towards pondlife corner.
There was the odd game such as the semi v Widnes, but in the main, no different to the HJ on most matchdays.

Back to the late eighties when I started going every week.
There was one good thing about Wilderspool, at least you were warm when the sun came out, the South Stand should be renamed Ice Station Zebra.

| It is a myth that the atmosphere at Wilderspool was amazing every week. It was moribund plenty of times.
Fans were a bit more tolerant then though. Pre 2003, booing was reserved for despicable collapses of the lowest order, for a lack of effort and basically waltzing through games. Now, booing is deemed acceptable by some if Warrington concede a try or lose by 2 points to Salford. Who the [expletive deleted do we think we are?
I understand the 'reasons' for this and I appreciate people feel they have a 'right' to boo but it really is very counterproductive. I'd like to see an 'us versus them' attitude developed between our club and the rest of the world. Not between ourselves.
