I agree and disagree.
I am a newish season ticket holder because of raising a family couldn;t say to my hubby oh you mind the kids while I go footy. I know many men do this but hey ‘I know my place’…lol. BUt I did used to go to Springy and catch the last 10 mins when it was free as a kid as we couldn;t afford to pay to watch them. So yeah I am a newbie but always followed the success of Latics. But let me make this clear I too am disgusted that many fans booed, in fact they are not fans just people with nowt better to do IMHO. I went mad at my husband for not singing last night saying when your 60 you can keep quiet, the lads need us now.
Read my post on fans on the Roberto thread.

I think some people don’t understand the term FAN. FAN = Fanatic. I’ll give you an example, if you are a Beatles fan (I am not just an example here) and they sing a duff note in concert do you boo them off….Noooooo. A fan sticks through/by whoever or whatever they are fanatical about. I think the ones who boo the team are just supporters.
You have to realise how that kind of/lack of support affect morale and the teams heads. If they have a night were things aren’t going right the last thing they need is boo’s. IT DOES NOT matter how much they get paid yadda yadda yadda as that is the commercial price of football today. A bit like the way property prices went mad (it’s the market not the players fault) anyways supporters have RUINED footballers careers as some of them are not mentally strong enough to block it out, no matter how good they are at kicking a ball.

Anyway I’ll get off me soap box now.

SO please don’t tarr all newish season ticket holders with the same brush. I also have sworn if they go down, I will still watch them every home match come hell or high water.
Fair enough, Wigginer.
