Who knows why? The fact that they didn't attend does not mean they are not fans. What next? If you leave before the final hooter you're only half a fan? You simply cannot claim to understand or appreciate people's love of or appreciation of a team on the basis that they may or may not attend certain games. Sadly life is much more complicated than that. Don't worry about it, though. Stick to the shallow end. Some times they bring out inflatables and shiny toys for you to play with.

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!!

did you go to the WCC v Brisbane and the Roosters?

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)

That'll do until your next brain fart. You and Suzy Banyon, what a team.......

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.
