Is this what its come to? Our own fans having cheap digs at our support? After that comment you had better get yourself down to the Hawthorns in February, otherwise you will make yourself look like a right chump.

I hate the majority of our braindead supports. I wish you and everyone with the same mentality would f*£k right off![/quote]

Whoah!! You can’t say that! But seeing as you have you must either ‘be a Mudhutter’ (whatever that means) or be Arky.

I’m sure filmoss’s brother will be along in a minute to point this fact out to you ;)

He should give it another try, it’s a good read. Apart from all the hoolie stuff :?

You can mention me by name as that one was me. To be honest I have no problem at all with people commenting on the game.

What I do find a tad distasteful is when people come on here during or immediately after the game slating the manager or players for lack of effort when the only effort they’ve made themselves is to sit there in their bedroom in their underpants watching the game on a webfeed whilst eating cheesy wotsits (OK now I’m stereotyping :lol: )

What started off as a pleasant novelty for those who couldn’t make it to away games is now serving to propogate a witch-hunt from a pitchfork waving mob of keyboard warriors every time we lose a game.

Oh for the days when we were restricted to Matt McCann’s commentary’s in the lower divisions, contrary to popular belief, plenty of cack performances were served up then, The difference being that he made Leyton Orient v Droylsden sound like Barca v Real

Oh right so because you think a few people might not be bothered that therefore means that everyone wants us to go down. Have you ever considered a legal career?

“Yes m’lud I think the defendant did steal those chicken nuggets from Iceland”
“Oh well if you think he did it, he must have done then, I’ll give him a hundred hours community service”

Very strange. Would it not be better to stick to posting your own opinion on here, rather than assuming others?

As I’ve said on here previously, a certain gentleman used to write a lot of the articles for the magazine and website, a gentleman who founded the Mudhutter, Mudhuts Media and indeed Cockney Latic. After 42 years watching Latics he now only goes fleetingly and is involved with Wigan Robin Park. I’m not him, nor do I share exactly the same opinions as him, I also wasn’t born the last time we played Goole Town.

Personally, I hope we stick around for decades given the amount of knockers we have including many in our own town who occasionally pop up on here [waves at RLFans lurkers]

It’s not how it used to be but it never will be no matter what level we play at as football is rotten. Unless we get 92 FC United’s owned and run by fans, there will always be exploitation by players and their agents, media influence and extortionate ticket pricing. A working class game watched and played by working class people and you’ll get working class values. A playtoy of millionaires and mass marketed into every home in the country and across the world and it is solely about money these days and apart from at the very highest echelons of the game very few players are worth anything like the wages they earn. The trouble is that everyone else ends up chasing the money and getting further into debt to keep up and I would love to see something revolution like a salary cap introduced globally and the Sky money used to pump money into the grass roots game rather than buying a player their 8th sports car.

It’s not the working class sport it was but I still love my club and want them to do well, preferably with the current manager taking us further up the table over time not down. However, as a keen analyst of financial statements, I also recognise the constraints of retaining Premier League football and that the club is not sustainable at this level.

As far as I am concerned there would only be one small positive element of going down which would be that we might be spared the army of armchair experts who would either have to turn up and watch the game or if not keep their rabid opinions to themselves. The rest of us who are trying to support the club will be spared their diatribe, in many cases, before the game has even finished! From what I can gather and speaking to people who went (and indeed Bobby C on here), many had a good day Saturday – in spite of the result. On the other hand you have hysterical posts talking about having their Saturday ruined from people who have sacrificed an hour and a half sat in front of a computer screen. That’s as big if not more of an real embarassment than the performances on the pitch.

But again I stress, I don’t want us to go down and I don’t foresee a way back even for those saying away games would be better/cheaper, the likes of Oldham are charging £25 these days

Which Mudhutters in particular are you referring to? It might be helpful if you could give more than one example seeing as you have used the plural Mudhutters.

As editor of that publication and website, I do not recall anyone writing anything stating that they were looking forward to us getting relegated, the only instance I have seen of such comments have been made on here by Vat69?

I’m sure you wouldn’t have written such a thing for the sake of it though

:?

The Pagey is advertising that the game is on in there tonight, and free half time food. I was in there one matchday recently and as we left for the game at ten to three, there were more people coming in than going out.

It’s a difficult one though as our tickets are actually very cheap. It’s about £20 to watch Rochdale at home and £25 to watch Oldham in League One. I think we are in a unique position and should consider really lowering the prices and more importantly market and advertise the cheap tickets. However, too much and season ticket holders would feel disillusioned.

We’ve just got to accept that we live in a town whereby if we let people in for free they’d still complain that they weren’t getting free food at half time like they would if they watching it in the pub :roll:

So not in the last few weeks and not by me, the ‘editorial chav’ as loudmouth blue would have it. Thanks for confirming that and proving once again that loudmouth is telling porkies.

I wouldn’t dream of saying no-one has ever used the phrase, they undoubtedly have, I undoubtedly have and I’m sure numerous people on here have.

However, what our esteemed friend seems to be missing is that just because one person says or writes it doesn’t mean that everyone says it or indeed it is the majority view.

I get tired of saying that the Mudhutter is a Wigan Athletic fanzine which anyone can contribute do, no matter what their point of view and all views that are contributed are those of the individual and not necessarily everyone who has written, bought, read, contributed or sold a copy in their lives in much the same way as this site is.

Indeed, the other thread on here against modern football, you will see that it says ‘Mudhutter supports this’, what I actually said to the lads is that ‘Mudhutter offers any fan or group of fans a platform to say what they feel or promote any particular cause relating to Wigan Athletic.’

Whether I support it or not is irrelevant. As even if I don’t agree with it, I will still offer people the chance to put their point forward, as I do mine.
