| Was in the East Stand on Sunday and noticed a load of our so called 'loyal fans' leaving with 20minutes left
How can these people call themselves loyal fans? They are happy to stay till the end when Wigan are winning... Why not stay till the end? Regardless? For one, it was their first game of the season - Ok, we didn't play as well as we could have, but it annoys me to see these fans who call themselves 'loyal' and wear the '18' on the back of their shirts leave with a good 20 minutes to go? There's obviously no trust in the side also... with the score being at 12-6 aswell, clearly Wigan could have come back within those 20 minutes! Another thing which really did wind me up was when my friend shouted 'Call yourself Loyal Fans?' to a number of them leaving, and a man turned around and told him he'd be waiting for him when he left - Before hurling a s**t load of abuse back at him! These people aren't Wigan fans - A real fan is someone who follows the team through all the s**t...
Another thing I wanted to talk about was people saying Smith is rubbish - Obviously it's going to be hard to fill Barretts boots but come on, the lads played one game at 6? You can hardly rely on his performance last season when he'd had no preseason training and came on from sub - What cracks me up is the fact that you will all be licking his in a few weeks when he plays awsome.

| Totally agree, but as has been mentioned on another thread most of these fans don't stay to the end whether we're winning, losing or drawing. Often wondered how much game time they actually miss throughout the season.
Personally i stay to the end whatever (sucker for punishment) and i could never boo no matter how disapointed i am. But that's just me and each to their own. Do think it was an over reaction yesterday though

to the first bit id say people have paid there money so i guess its up to them if they stay till the end, boo or do whatever they want.

Same here, I could never boo the team or a player.
Good post by the OP.

| Did you hear whenever Mathers caught the ball how they'd all cheer? Surely that can't be good for his confidence?

| Wiganstripel ... you obviously wasn't watching the same game ... We wasn't clueless - We knew what we were doing, but made too many errors - It had nothing to do with cluelessness - It was just easy mistakes, dropping the ball etc. Your not telling me that Wigan didn't stand a chance of winning that game - Had we not made as many mistakes we'd of won, simple as. It's nothing to do with cluelessness, more [ucarelessness[/u (and no, these aren't the same thing)

Because typing in bold is used to highlight certain parts of posts.
You don't need to type the whole post in bold, plus it's annoying.

| A very good point by the OP.
All those who left early yesterday and won't go to Hull next week or Cas the week after whatever, are the same people who will be creaming themselves should we win the cup or GF. As a SUPPORTER of a club you have to take the rough with the smooth. Simple as.
I hope some of them aren't on my flight to Catalans. Touch of turbulence and they'll be phoning their relatives to say goodbye. WE'RE DOOMED!!!!!!!!!!

| cheers Conroy - takes the mick! And, to be honest, it annoys me, puts me even more in a mood, as if the fact that we've lost isn't enough, you've got a at the side of you booing them!
Luckily, we're getting a motorhome to France, having a little bit of a road trip - I can trust that the lads i'm heading down with won't be as bad!

| Why are people so obsessed about fans who leave early? It's not gonna stop you watching the game by them leaving is it? I personally never leave early but if i do see someone leaving, i dont feel the need to have a go at someone else for going early. They've paid their money and can do as they wish?...
Ok so it is annoying when the same fans will be there weeks after staying till the end after a good win etc etc but does it need to be such a big deal?

| i NEVER leave early, but i retain the right to boo em off if i think they are underperforming.
and if an individual is making error after error , i reserve the right to call him e.......which i did on sunday.
i booed em off at half time, and i shouted to mathers not to bother coming back out.
but i stayed till the end and when they came over to the east , i booed em and gave a few selective hand gestures.
but i will carry on going to watch em for a few more games.....home only at present.
a couple of seasons ago i stopped going mid season , because i thought "if they cant be ar$ed making the effort, then i cant be ar$ed making the effort to go watch.
its still early season, im angry, frustrated, but im still a supporter.

| How am i making a big deal out of it? What i'm saying is, how can people call themselves 'loyal' supporters yet boo them off and leave early? When your loyal, it means your faithful, you devote yourself - Yesterday, I saw people with '18 Loyal' on their back, leaving 20minutes before the game ended - That aint loyal...
Yeah, your right, you pay for your ticket & that gives you the right to do whatever you like, simple as - But don't call yourself a Wigan fan, because your not - Like i said, a fan is someone who sticks by their side, through the good times/bad times - Gives them a chance - Stays till the end to clap their team off...
