Warrington playing crap, or playing in a lower league won't stop me watching the team I've supported all my life.
If others want to play the martyr and stop going, as if it's going to change anything, then stop threatening to do it, just do it. I remember a poster on here starting a farewell thread, that he was leaving the forum, how embarrassing, but not as embarrassing as him coming back and going back on his word.
The only thing that will stop me, and it's getting more likely by the season, is having to mix with some of the pondlife, turds, gobshites, pisspots, dregs of society who also follow us who's only motivation seems to be if they can abuse and moan at the players more than their mates. I shake my head more at what's around me than what's on the field these days and that's saying something.
Oh for the days of 4500 at Wilderspool. We have done well to attract the families etc and extra fans, but jesus, we haven't half attracted extra dickheads by the bucketful.

However, to go back to my point, even if we lose for the next five years (yes Riddler, I am probably mad), I'll still probably go for the following week. Imagine that time you win! And if I decided not to go, I'd not shout about it from the rooftops.
It's like that trip to KNowsley Road innit? Every year I say I'm never going again, but every year I go because of 'what if....' !

I agree with the first bit. The way I sell it to myself is that I support the Warrington RLFC club and all that it has represented through the years, the fine players we have had grace the shirt, and the wonderful memories both on and off the field I have had. The current players are just temporary custodians of the shirt. On Saturday they let themselves and our club down. Anyway I supported Wire long before Briers, Monaghan, King, and god willing, will support long after they have left.
In relation to the second point, I didn't see many, if any, of the people you refer to in your post at Harlequins. Just simple working-class folk, frustrated at what they saw but committed enough to make a 400 mile round trip. In my opinion they were entitled to vent their spleen within reason.

I was one of the 4500 but I just don't get this club any more and I don't recognise it. I can't understand why the players don't have pride or the desire to play for our club.
I don't expect to win every week but I expect commitment; maybe we need to get back to signing the right type of players instead of falling for the 'former international' smokescreen.

Why retreat? He is bang on the button. I have feel out with the team on numerous occasions, I even refused to go after the Huddersfield debacle on the basis that as long as Van de Velde was here I wouldn't go. So I'm sat at home doing some work listening to the radio as we put Bradford through the ringer. Despite being a bit miffed at them the emotion of my team battering the pinnacle of SL had me beaming, after thirty minutes I was debating whether I would be able to get in.
That to me is what it is all about; an emotional attachment to your team. I applaud, criticise, cheer and call them fit to burn in the space of the same game. For somebody to say I am not going, effectively removing that emotional tie-in, leaves me rather confused.
As Keith has said, above we do seem to have attracted chav turds, not necessarily pondlife corner (which I am assuming is the eastern section of the South Stand), I stand near the 20m line in the west end and the amount of nuggets who are there not watching the game, talking poop beggars belief.
Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.
