This was always going to get messy and it'll probably get worse.

We won a lot of trophies not too long ago and it rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way so the garbage getting levelled at us now is inevitable.

But I know that I'm right behind te lads pulling on the shirt and I'm right behind Francis Cummins. The rest of it is politics.

I can not wait for Sunday. I just wish the belong 1000 billboard was ready cos I'm on it. I'm proud of that too.

Great post but......

Do you think next year will be better than this! The only way of turning this around is a Koukash type character coming in and flashing the cash and allowing us to be seen as attractive for players to join, and attracting back some of the floaters, I don't see this do you?

Just thinking about my time following the Bulls, and told my 2 sons who live away and can't get to games how the players who played at Wigan in 2012 showed the BEST team spirit than I'd seen in the 45 years I'd watched the team. Don't think the 2014 group are measuring up too well against them - hopefully that changes on Sunday but I'm not confident

There's no way of telling yet

I'm pumped for Sunday. Francis has to get the players minds set. We still have some great players still.

The players are pulling on a famous jersey this season and can go down in history a long with the Fosters, Paul brother, Lowes's, Vainikolo's etc

We won't win anything, but if we can avoid relegation this year, the players will be remembered! Want to go and earn a bit more money at Hull, Wakey Etc? go ahead, but you'll be forgotten.

Wigan away 2012 is one of my fondest nights as a rugby fan. Right up there with the GF and CC wins! These lads can do the same.

COYB!

If the players are reading most of what has been posted on here and elsewhere, they would likely conclude the fans had given up.

If the club staff are reading most of what has been posted on here and elsewhere, they would likely conclude the fans had give up.

If the current provisional owners, or any prospective investors and owners, are reading most of what has been posted on here and elsewhere, they would likely conclude the fans had give up.

Maybe they will all conclude that, if the fans have given up, so might they as well.

But it will be the fans that are the first on all of THEIR backs if THEY show any signs of giving up.

Those first three lines could easily be said in one!

And while you are correct in what you say, it's the players and staff who are the product, we are the customers. It's their job, not ours. Not being picky, that's just the way I see it.

Re: COYB : Fri Feb 14, 2014 11:26 pm  

So fans cannot be disappointed and vent frustrations?

As a fan, I'm begging for some new owners take over and sort this crap out.

The most important season in years and the club decides to start 'selling' our best players to relegation rivals.

I'd rather Sammut sat in the U19's for the year, instead of scoring the winning try that sends us down.

We should have made sure he honored his existing contract, grown a back bone and told him to grow a pair.
