Cupwinners where did I say ALL our fans were the worst. I’m on about a sizeable majority,in fact I think disproportionately so, Not all.
Of course you didn’t say ALL, as that would have included YOU.
Nobody’s likely to start a thread and say “I’m the worst supporter in the country” ;)
And they say there’s no passion in the West Stand….!
There’s plenty of passion in the West Stand, that’s were the majority of the discontent came from towards the manager on Saturday.[/quote]
Of course it does. There’s little point in telling the owner’s grandson to sack the manager from the back of the South or Boston Stands, as it truly will fall on deaf ears.
You in WS5 Sammy ?
I too saw the bloke screaming at the directors box and pointing at Joyce, screaming for him to be sacked …..apoplectic probably covers it , I thought he was about to
Have a ‘funny turn’Yes. His seat is not far in front of mine. I got the full frontal view. I though he was about to explode.

That wasn’t the Jimmy Savile lookalike was it?A couple of rows behind me and going bright red in the face.

No that wasn’t him.
He was about five or six rows back from you in the eight o’clock direction.To be fair, being in the Championship, nevermind the PL should be looked at as being very successful, and at one time would have been beyond our wildest dreams.True enough for around 1500 of us who have supported Latics through thick and thin but the other 8000 regulars this season shouldn’t be taken for granted because they have only ever seen Greed League and Championship football (bar last season).
What we have all witnessed lately though has been a type of football none of us can probably recollect and that’s this containing game even when points have been there for the taking. The lack of commitment to go out for a win and accept one point from games.
To an extent I can understand Joycey and coming in and trying to repair the damage done by Caldwell wasn’t an easy task and to steady the ship before pushing on was his priority but the ship now in march is in very choppy seas and the safety of the harbour seems a long way off so time has come to drop the guard and go for the points. The personnel on board have continuously changed and too many recruits have been brought in that are just not fit which must have destabilised the crew. Every last one of the signings in January have brought nothing new onboard apart from a drain on the wage bill(apart from Conolly). They were brought in to help in the relegation struggle.
So of our 1500 oldies and our 8000 plastics (as some would call them but not me) have an entitlement to air their dissatisfaction.
As you say Horc the Championship and Premier Greed League have seen us kicking above our weight but also could you have ever have envisaged us with 9500 regular home fans. That alone is an achievement and I want to continue seeing our club grow it’s fan base but with more seasons like this debacle I am afraid to say that those fantastic supporters will vote with their feet rather than their voices.
Our fans are simply the best(remember the team running out to that) not the worst supporters there are.[/quote]I wouldn’t say the extra 8k fans are plastic donny. You have plenty of kids in that lot who grew up supporting WAFC in the prem & stuck with us, rather than going off to support UTD or Liverpool etc…. Like in the olden days. Suppose it’s a byproduct of being successful
The plastics are the ones that don’t bother with us now.
