If you cant fill 12500 week by week then bring 35-40k to wembley, it shouts glory hunters to me.
Although Wire fans do travel well ill give them that

another one who has to compare it to our crowds, this is about your supporters not making any noise! simple! just because your annoyed that im right you think oh i know, lets say that theyll never get 24000!
Quote ="Carney's Babe"What happened on Friday then? Plus their average attendance is 10,899. Hardly massive.'"
what happened on friday. you mean at an away game? how is that up to us how many tickets saints sell, we almost sold out our allocation and iirc they gave us more! so once again, unlucky!

'"
We did make noise, I was there in the middle of it, its not like everyone just sat there saying nothing. It wasnt a massive atmosphere that you get at OT or Wembley but it was ok for a game at the DW, the place is a dead fish there has never been a massive atmosphere there since we moved there, but when we go to away game the away stand is always rocking. I dont know what it is about the DW, its just hard to create an atmosphere.
For example when you lot come over to Wigan, when your all in the away stand singing away, you may think your making an amazing noise over where you are, but we can hardly hear you in the South stand, and vica versa you can hardly hear us in the North.

| Why is making noise so important?
It was a great game, fascinating to watch and a great spectacle... well worth the entrance fee. What's on the field is way more important than someone singing in the stands IMHO.

obviously not mate, but you know what i was saying, the atmosphere was poor, and just because im a wire people are questioning my opinion on it, the wigan fans who've admitted it arent being quoted!
as for hard to create an atmosphere, it cant be the stadium, more the people in it. IE what you alluded to with when you go away, the atmosphere is great! no doubt about it, when you come to the HJ it is good! but thats because the people who generally travel to away games, are the people who like to get behind the team properly by making a good atmosphere!
and tonight you had a larger number of people that just turn up and sit there and only cheer or make any kind of noise when you score or concede. which is why the atmosphere was poor!

There wasnt THAT much atmosphere on Friday night, you're making it sound like it was like he San Siro Stadium.

Well to be honest, I really dont care. All that matters is that 24,000 people turned up tonight payed to see a fantastic game of Rugby and hopefully more will start to come throughout the season. Who's to judge if people want to go to rugby and sit there and watch the game? Not everyone has to start dancing around clapping their heads off shouting and screaming, not doing that doesnt make you any less of a fan.
Your just coming on here trying to belittle our support when theres nothing wrong with it, its the best in the league FACT.

Look back to 2006 when we were crap, we had an average of about 16,000. Our fans grouped together and supported our team to fight relegation and we've all stuck by since.
Where the f*ck were half of your fans when you were sh*t?
You may have all the glory hunters who make abit of noise at the moment, but they will all drop off once your performances start to in a couple of years, and come back to this thread, our support will be the same if not bigger.

this is true, and i hate it. I've been going home and away to games since i moved to warrington at around 4, and to be honest i get truely peed off with all the hangers on, but they turn up, they make noise, and they make an atmosphere!
how does any of this change the fact that in a game you've (wigan fans in general) have been bigging up for months, your support was sh*t????

Where are those 30-40,000 noisy fans that travelled to Wembley?
The truth is you play in a stadium with a capacity SMALLER than our average crowds. So in effect, if Wigan played at the HJ every fortnight we would have a sell out every time.
How many sell outs did Wire have last season? 2
There endeth the lesson sonny.

unfortunately, its not our fault that our stadium is only so big, but we do the best we can with the support we have, lets not forget, our histories show that your support should be twice if not three times the size of ours! if supporters are relative to winning trophies etc. etc. Your fanbase is big, yes, but in a fanbase so big, how is it that you couldnt make enough noise to get behind your team on the biggest game of their year???

I think your kidding yourself with this 'not making enough noise business' it looks to me as if you've convinced yourself that every single wiganer sat there making no noise, which isnt true and is irrelevant anyway.
