No getting away from it, despite super cheep seasons tickets and all the media attention given to Blackpools first game, that is a very poor crowd.
Where on earth do we go from here?Problem is whats the incentive to go, no pride , no passion and no commitment. Like watching England all over again. I can honestly say this morning I am embarrassed to be a Wiganer.
Problem is and a hate to say this but I think the game in this country is about to implode.
More images in the papers this morning of overpaid, large ego player’s rubbing it into our faces.
People go on about how cheap it is to watch Wigan, after a performance like that you begin to question why bother.Not sure today if the problem is Wigan or football as a whole, but slowly the game for me is dying.
There will be less than that against chelsea, judging by the amount of people coming off the ground saying they will not go again until we get rid of martinez, The club really is in a bad way, I just feel the players dont want to play for him, a bit of player power me thinks, but who can blame them.
If you’ve got a season ticket aren’t you counted whether you turn up or not?
Blackpool officially had 4,500 there but to be honest looked like the North was pretty much full.
Whether there are 16,000 or 20,000 on, the most important thing about the Chelsea game is that the lads show some passion and interest in the Latics cause.I have to admit I was really dissapointed with the crowd, any can you blame the casual fan not wanting to come back either.
The fact still remains that a large majority of people living in Wigan actually support Man Utd or Liverpool. If I went up to Blackburn I’d probably see a very different story.

If I went up to Blackburn I’d probably see a very different story.The club need to work on turning more heads. Plenty of folk jumped over from United, Liverpool, Everton, I even know one lad who used to support Blackburn (Hiya Paul Ashy ;) ). 250,000 people in the Wigan borough and no other professional football league clubs. Advertisements were up in St Helens and Skelmersdale too and that’s got to be the way forward. This is the biggest league in the biggest sport in the world and with such a large number of people in the borough the club sould be looking at making marketing and community work their priority.
Trouble is imo there are 2 teams in Wigan,support split 50/50.
Your Bolton’s-Burnley-Blackburn etc 1team hence larger support and that’s a fact no one consider’s.Problem is whats the incentive to go, no pride , no passion and no commitment.

Embarrassed to be a Wiganer? Gone are the days players represented the town and it’s people they went decades ago. How many players live in the town and if asked what do they know about it to warrant wearing the tree & crown? Being a Wiganer is one thing, but footballers playing for my hometown club do not represent me.
The game in this country is about to implode? Where have you been the last ten years? That’s the problem with supporters and the reason I got out, football died so long ago people won’t allow this to digest and continue spending pots of money on empty pipe dreams. The game is shambolic. Being a retired fan as my username states, I switched on Sky Sports News and the penny dropped with me totally. The running commentaries by Merson etc is almost like the world is going to end, I’ve never seen so much hyped up bullshit ever, or perhaps I have, I just never saw it truly. Having read Brian Clough’s book recently, he had the same complaint how he can’t watch football anymore with the hype and build up like it’s a World Cup Final each week. He also complained about so called “pundits”. I always wondered personally why Andy Gray was never a manager as he has all the answers. Sky Sports is a disease and people should have seen this at the inception of the Premiership. How I long to watch older football where I can it’s much better and the players were a different breed.
Your final sentence is deafening and a realization i felt years ago. Get out man.
Unfortunately Sky have a stranglehold on football in this country and that isn’t going to change any time soon.

Latics are the opposite.Even though we should be hacked off with the performance and a lot of other club issues. Its only one game and we have 37 more to stay up.
No point in worrying about these things, we are what we are and not what sky want us to be.
