So polite Hogan
Alas it is true. The 'best' supporters said nothing/did nothing because one must blindy trust and show reverence to those in positions of authority. Hence, they never uttered a word or challenged anything sid by the then directos and we slid quietly into Division 2.
Quite a few 'best' supporters here

| Aah, a bit of perspective. Fully agree with JTB, there is no such thing as a 'true' fan. A fan's a fan; if you've got the money, time and inclination to dedicate your life to it, then that's great. Equally, if you've not, then that is great too. The OP made his mind up not to go tomorrow and that's fair enough. It's a leisure activity, after all. As I posted elsewhere:
Quote ="I, elsewhere,"Nope. Things I currently have to worry about:
1. Whether my family in Australia are ok
2. Whether I will still have a job next month
3. Anything associated with my w*****g
4. Paying my mortgage
I watch Wigan matches as a bit of light relief from the rest of the week, the last thing I need is to start getting myself worked up about that as well. '"

The team are simply only apart of Wigan Rugby League.
We're an establishment that consists of coaches, players, supporters, staff, business requirements etc.
If all our supporters didn't attend games because they 'didn't like watching crap Rugby' then there would be no Wigan Rugby League, would there?
In my opinion we're all in it together.

| Quote ="Salty"
It's not as simple as 'just one game' though is it? We've had a few years of Wigan playing less rugby than any other team in the league. If there is another team who play less attractive rugby than Wigan, name them. I honestly don't think I'm that bad for not going to Hull but as my heading suggests, I think that the ones who go, deserve the utmost praise. Hope they don't disappoint.
Got to admit, I'll be glued to the Saints/Wire game on Sky, with GMR in my ear. I expect to see some great rugby and hope to hear some.'"
yeah i bet you went to leeds last year in the semi final when the team was on a high and people thought we could have beaten them, your just fickle your trying to make a stupid point if you dont want to go away games i understa d with traveling and money and stuff but when you say that after 1 game is pathetic

He's not doing. You get your odd person who whinges at everything, but too many times people raise points about things they don't like and get slapped down by the same old starstruck backslappers who refuse point blank to accept that something negative could ever, possibly go on at Wigan RL!

| I normally go to all away games, but i'm having to cut back a little on away games this year. I'll still be going to most, but with the cost of a ticket being £20, then fuel added on top, and the fact that i'd have to leave straight from work, i've decided not to go.

Yeh I wouldnt be shocked if there was trouble at the game, there should be a big crowd from the home fans as its the first game for them.
I still hope to go though.

Or the supporters who didn't go who, if they had payed their money, cheered their team on may have enabled the club to make 1 more sigining etc which may have saved the club from relegation??????
Depends Which way YOU want to see it, it doesn't make one way better than the other OR the reason the club went down!
What did you do in 79/80/81 when all this was happening?
What did you do in 96/97/98 over the Jack Robinson/Whelan struggle??
Did you pay any money over? Did you "Stand By" whilst Jack Robinson/Dave Whelan made a Mockery or our club?
Did you go? Did you stay at Home?
Tell me Charlie! What should WE ALL OF DONE seeing as you know the answer!
What should we do now to show our anger at the club for all these Grossly negligent things they havce done in the last 14 months and are doing that get you so aggravated that you have to have a go at the club at EVERY Opportunity?
Should we go this week?
Should we Make Protest Banners?
Should we Not go To the Next Home games?
Burn our season Tickets?
I'll tell you what! I'll try this !
I'll go if I want, I'll pay my money if I want, I'll stick up for the club/players/coaches/chairman if I want and you know what?
If we win Nowt again this season my actions won't have had any more difference than what yours will !
Try this statement " It's all these people who are slating Mathers/Noble/Lenegan et al before the Players/Coach/Chairman have even started the season that cost us the game Last Sunday as they undermined the confidence of the club as soon as the 1st thing went wrong, if there hadn't been all this negativity before Sunday we would have Won!"
Absolute Bollox I know but as true and no different to what you have put above!

He wont give you one!
Some fans are very very loyal and will follow the team no matter what, some will pick the games they go to if the team are playing poor and thats fine.

To be honest, don't want one and you know why?
Because there is no answer!
I just don't like being told that if my dad paid his £3 every week & £1 for me to watch Wigan because he wanted to watch HIS TEAM play despite how bad they were (Jeez, just imagine what Chaarlie would have been writing on the internet if it was around in them days if he thinks this coach/team/chairmen are incompetent )
Contributed in ANY WAY WHATSOEVER to Wigan gettin relegated !
And especially by a Jumped up Internet Know It All who doesnt have Half the Rugby Knowledge of some of the people Who did pay their money in them days and probably watched more rugby than he ever will!
