It wasn't just during the game when the team were playing badly it was from the moment i got into the stadium,there was no 'party' atmosphere, no singing before the game, no joining in with abide with me etc - nothing from our fans at all !!

Some fans seems to fail to understand that when your side is playing poorly you need to rally behind them, get them fired up again and show them that you are with them 100% of the way. At least that way you can say you played your part and did your best, very few can say that about yesterday.

I can't make an excuse or even accept one for the lack of noise, I'm not expecting a Rio carnival but something a bit more lively than what we had yesterday.....a morgue!
I Cant disagree, there should have been more noise and support, but it is so hard to get anything going when we played like we did. Any spark or attack or hope we had was soon spoilt by an unforced error on our part.
It works both way, the team has to give us that spark of hope to cheer about something. Unflortunaltly throughtout the game that was lacking. Other than one or 2 breaks. Closly followed by a knock on. How can you cheers at that?
to continue - the worst thing is a performance like that wont do any good in attracting new supporters. It is such a shame after the season we have had because we have been playing some great rugby.
I really felt we had a good shout but yet again another false dawn - NB has a big job now getting the players focused again for the playoffs but again if we ever qualified for a GF how would the players cope with that pressure?. Its a very emply feeling having witnessed that yesterday lets just hope the boys can get up for the weeks ahead.
To be honest I wasnt that upset we had lost because to be honest we were never at the races. Had we played to our potential then maybe we could have won it but games arent played on if's and buts.
Its a harsh lesson to learn and lets hope its not another 50 years to wait until next time. Well done Wire the best team ON THE DAY won it.
Must admit to being disappointed with the Fartown following,but looking at your average crowds,then in all honesty it was quite decent,hopefully a few of the non-regulars who went,will decide to go regulary.
another problem you have,is compettition from the football crowd,12k at home yesterday and we are in a recession,so all in all,a crowd of 76k is not too bad in the circumstances.

I don't think it's the number that's the issue to be fair. It's the quality of the support that upsets me.

The way fans are spread out at Wembley and the all-seated factor makes it difficult to get anything going so don't be too hard on yopur fellow fans. It doesn't help when you are behind either.

We were chacing the game from the first min. What was there to shout about? Also, i bet we were so quiet before hand as we were all nervous we might throw it down the pan like we usually do in front of TV cameras, just like we did!
From the state of the game, to take nothing away from wire who were the better side on the day, they didnt win it! We lost it!!! 2 very soft trys in the first 10 mins, and very little idea when attacking. Which this season has been pretty good!

You know I wouldn't take issue with what you are saying but the problem here is not the fans but the ticket allocation.
If there was more time to pre-plan tickets and to get the singers all together they would make enough noise to get the other people singing. Bearing in mind we were overlooking you we were not able to hear you at all.
Whilst you complain that these people have chosen Wembley as their first game and come out for the day trip you fail to see that these people are the future. Get them all to games at the Galpharm and we have 14,000+ average attendances and they will learn the songs over time.
They way you are talking you sound like you want the dark days at Fartown to return with 500 fans watching us lose to Nottingham. We need these fans to come week in week out and learn our songs.

Wadski, i understand what your saying but the point is i dont think it would have mattered how many singers were sat together as 95% of the people supporting us had no intention of making any noise yesterday ,and even 500 of us together wouldn't have made a difference as around us there were plenty of people trying to get some encouragement goingbut no one responded at all !!
