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 booty 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 bit in bold... how can u say we could have come back in those 20minutes when for the previous 60 we were absolutly clueless??
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.
