Whilst listening on Bilko and his mate on the radio they said after 45 mins into the game SOME Wigan fans where heading for the exits! I do not go to games now but one thing i would never do is leave the game with over 30 minutes left!I was there in 2005 when Wigan lost 75-0!. What is the point in spending 20 quid or so and travelling and leaving with a third of the game to go Your either a fan or not a fan! either turn up for games or stay until at least the last 10 mins even when they are getting a serious beating

Its called the Wigan Walk, your famous for it.

I did notice quite a few leaving after an hour which I thought odd,myself I sat it out till the bitter end,wasn’t taking much notice of the game mind you by the end of it

I was once at Headingley and a guy near me left on the 18 minute mark.

Flip it on its head and give them credit for turning up unlike half the team.

Why is it an issue?

If the game is effectively done and you're not enjoying it - go home if you want. This whole silly notion of "stick it out till the bitter end" like we are fighting in the trenches is ridiculous.

How do they know they're leaving rather than going to the loo etc?

You're seriously calling someone for leaving early when you have stated on many occasions you don't go to matches anymore?

First people I saw leaving was when Percival scored on 60 mins. Game was gone I suppose but I’d never leave early.

Saints can’t throw stones. They were flooding out with 5 mins left in Holbrooks last home game. He’s turned that team around and produced a display like that and that’s the thanks he gets.

I was at KR in the saints end in the early/mid 2000’s when we put 50 on them. Saints fans left at half time.

It’s always happened and always will, its certainly not just relatable to Wigan.

I think if people have paid their entry fee then it’s really up to them when they leave.

How can people possibly know that? I had a bloke go mad at me once about 60 mins into a game because he thought I was leaving. I was getting a pint and a p***

the op doesn't even go to matches anyway just listens on the radio and talks rubbish on here.

So is the St Helens Shuffle.

Lol . A lot of keyboard Warriors on here and on the other site.

I prefer the Saints stroll

It was the Saints sprint at Wembley

Anyone who paid to watch last night and lasted longer than an hour deserves praise in my book. Utter dross from the players who seemingly didn’t fancy bothering so why should the fans.

Good luck to the club window dressing next weeks attendance figure, after last nights wimpish display.

Could be a reason ?

My old dad watched Wigan since the late 1920's - he passed away in 2014 aged 91. From his mid 80's, he couldn't physically attend matches.

Of course there are many reasons for not attending any more. Health issues, money issues... Etc.

But when you start a post condemning supporters for leaving early and stating silly remarks like "you are either a fan or not a fan" whilst in the same breath admitting you don't attend matches anymore (for whatever reason) don't expect not to be called out over it.

If the club had an extra few thousand '70 minute fans' rather than 'SKY Sports fans' we wouldn't be reporting big losses this year.

Why anyone take any notice of what the OP posts is beyond me...

Who are you to say when a fan can or can’t leave? I left with just under 10mins to go, I did the same on Good Friday. I paid the money for a ticket and it’s my right to leave whenever I want to. I’d suggest to you to stop throwing stones in glass houses and actually go to a game.

Are you old enough for a pint and a pie?

Phil Bailey doesnt eat pies or drink pints.

So what? What business is it of yours or anybody elses even if they leave before the kick off?

Even after 10 pints I'd still make more sense than you

You couldnt lift 10 pints.
