We've turned into a pantomime audience



Whenever things aren't quite going well, even if it's just the slightest thing, everybody seems to start booing! It's quite sad really, because then when things start to go well, everybody then turns into happy clappers! What exactly is booing going to acheive other than lowering the team's morale?

Least we can all shout "he's behind you" as the opposition's winger goes right past Mathers.

Well i didnt boo


was to busy stuffing my face with a berger outside the ground

Was thinking the same thing

Its not just Wigan RLFC that boo when theyve witnessed a shambles Kat, and the last 7 months at home have hardly been the slightest thing....

From the Stns home shambles/ hudd home shambles last season onwards we really have been served up some serious sh*t at home eh? Do correct me if im wrong.
Im not a Boo boy in the term as in some of the eejits that sit near me but i have booed and in my eyes its very very justified. We all want the same thing because we certainly have the players!

I didn't boo but 3 losses in a row at the start of the season against a team with 8 first team players out and a side who finished bottom last year AT HOME is not good enough.

The thing is... I can't remember the last home game where the players haven't been boo'd when leaving the field, or at some point during the game. It's ok when it's justified, but it's almost every game!

I do agree that its gone a bit OTT. I certainly didn't boo on Friday - I didn't think the problem was lack of effort and application on this occasion, just lack of quality.

I never booed until the Wakefield game as I did not believe in it however in my opinion i have drawn the line.

I do not expect Wigan to Win every week, what I do expect every week is for them to put the best effort in they can and that is simply not happening at the moment.

That is why people are booing, they have had enough of watching people who get paid good money doing a job they supposedly love stealing a living.

If Wigan put their heart and soul in every week and lost every week I dont think there would be a boo in the ground.

Booing is the new chanting.

Warrington fans are the same if not worse, pathetic.

to be fair the atmosphere in the second half was pretty good!

the fans are going to boo if they see a poor performance and are entitled to boo when they see a poor performance, after all who is it who pays the wages? yes the fans buying shirts,tickets etc

Who are the crowd booing?

The team or the coach, there's only one way to find out ........... FIGHT!!!!!!!!

sort of self explanatory then eh ?

we should have at least 2 wins now .

i dont expect to win every game , but what i do expect is a performance worthy of the cherry and white shirt

what a retarded thread.

If the players are playing well and the team is winning matches then they will be cheered, if the team is losing games but playing to their best ability then they will still be supported well, but when a team is playing boring uninteresting rugby, losing games and looking uninterested then they are going to be booed, some people need to leave cloud cuckoo land, team morale has naff all to do with anything, the players are payed handsomely to play one game a week, they should be ashamed at the way they perform, especialy those that earn more than £100k a year.

as a category 2 fan i will continue o boo the being played at the moment, when they start showing some heart i shall stop booing simple ass

Patrick

?

i didnt boo at all end of the day when we start winning games all the fans that was booing and walking out will be cheering all 2 face gits every single one of them. I stopped till the end did not boo and clapped the players off...

So every singe fan that booed and walked out you are not loyal supporters.

Ergo, if you woke up on Christmas morning as a four year old and your parents had not bought you any presents whatsoever, are you telling us that you would have still been in the same cheery mood that you would have been had you received thouands of pounds worth of lavish gifts?

I think not.

I agree with this.

I don't think I've ever booed Wigan except once when Dennis Moran's name was read out on Easter Monday at the JJB and he was booed by a section of the home crowd



What you come to expect of Wigan is simply the reason why some fans boo. The expectation is so high and it's the expectation which the club has set itself by having an illustrious history.

Such success breeds fickle support really, which is one of few 'cons' as oppose to many 'pros' of being so successful for many years.

think to much is placed on the 'loyalty' and 'quality' of support some people offer as opposed to others

i paid good money for a season ticket, am not getting value for the money - do i then have to stay til the end and applaud any old tosh to be a real fan?

I didnt boo but I can understand why some people do, many people spend a big chunk of their money going to games so are quite rightly upset when there doesnt seem to be any effort from the players. Silence would be better.

i think if you've payed your money you have every right to boo that garbage that is being turned out on the pitch, me and my mate stu sit in the east stand and there seem to be a lot of as he calls them 'clapping monkeys' who clap as though we have just beaten saints not lost to wakey or whoever we happen to be playing
when noble says it's encouraging that we managed to catch the ball 3 times out of ten, is when i wonder if i could have spent my £200 on something better, if you'd turn out a team of under 11s they can at least do the basics rather than some should be retired foriegner letting players just push past him and score.
my mate stu says mathers, noble and smith should be stripped to the waist whipped then paraded around the ground whilst all the real fans boo them.
i don't think he goes far enough i think birching should be dished out on the pitch!!!

If people want to boo, then I don't see what the problem is they pay their hard earned money every week. It is not like they are throwing coins, charging onto the pitch or verbally abusing individuals, the crowd are just venting their frustration the only way they can. If you play crap & lose at home to last seasons bottom placed side then IMO you deserve to be booed. If you play well, score or beat a decent side. Then you deserve to be praised. It could be worse in Italy supports turn up to their own training ground and physcially assualt, abuse and generally terrorise their own team.
A bit of Booing is nothing.

you my freind are a clown then

you should applaud the team when they deserve it , not when they have done nothing

my point exactly
