      What do want for a fiver? I was more concerned with the price of a pint, bloody ridiculous at £4.50.
      I can understand those prices at corporate events were you generally get ripped off, but at a beam back with your ordinary fan, get it sorted.

      Getting back to the back g screens, the person at the other end needs to stop zooming in. You get to see about a 20m circle round the ball and nothing else. Please in future zoom out and let’s see the moves develop.

      I suspect the cub is at the mercy of the home clubs cameraman with stuff like that.

        I reckon a bad injury has had more effect than a fictitious bust up.

          If we had of used the money we threw down the pisser it would have paid for it for about 10-15 years. So we have no money that’s official, so you think we ?, loanees and get guys in who are on the verge of retirement ?
          Do you wan’t me to name the waste of money players ? we’ll stop hey at £30 million and not to mention players we made a killing on, you seem to think the club made fook all !! starters for 10 Queens College;-

          Is it just me that can’t make head or tail out of this? It doesn’t seem to make much sense.

            Jobs for the boys!

            The question of bringing in has-beens will no doubt be asked at the fans forum next week, i look forward to the bullshit reply. :dry:

            But I bet it won’t be you that asks the question.

              I haven’t mentioned rugby and I honestly couldn’t give a toss if you support them or not. I come from a family of rugby supporters. I just find it hard to take someone seriously when they stop supporting a team because not everything is tickety boo then flit off to support somebody and question other people’s loyalty. It’s hypocritical. Regarding this thread it’s pretty obvious you stored this somewhere to bring up even though you chose to do it out if context. We know all footballers cheat to one extent or another. And we all dislike it no matter who does it. It’s just that at times you come across as desperate to do down the club you claim to have once supported and this is one of those times. I’m sure that if you didn’t have such a itchy trigger you could have found a more relevant example.

                Do you bookmark all this kind of stuff or just store it in your memory banks? Either way it’s a pretty sad obsessive life you lead.

                Otter, I reckon mutty,s post is a top example of the lengths the modern footballer will go to.Anything to get their own way just look at this window and the power the players have nowadays.[/quote]

                I get that, but I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t have been at the forefront of his mind or in his bookmarks, if it hadn’t been an ex Latics player involved.

                    expecting a couple of big stars to leave but only on last day with no time to replace them

                    Why do you expect that? And don’t trot out the myth that it always happens. It rarely does.

                      I was at the game yesterday. The facts:

                      1. There were gaps in both ends, but there were definitely more Hull supporters than Wigan. However as just about every neutral was supporting Hull then it was hardly surprising. I saw lots of Leeds, castleford, Bradford, Huddersfield, featherstone and numerous other Yorkshire clubs all rooting for the Yorkshire club. I didn’t see a single saints or Warrington shirt, but even if they were there, they’d be cheering anyone but Wigan!

                      2. Half of the top tier was empty – where the TV cameras were. Most of club Wembley wasn’t filled either. The rest was full. 68000+ sounds right.

                      3. Travel problems hampered Wigan fans more than Hull, as kings cross was open as normal.

                      4. Hull city unselfishly switched their game to Friday night to allow supporters of both clubs a chance to watch both sides.

                      5. I won £50 on backing Hull after the first Wigan try.

                      6. Hull deservedly won.

                      Mutty in response to the little dig hidden among the facts it needs the agreement of both clubs to switch a fixture. We approached Portsmouth and they said no do nothing selfish there.

                        Stacks of empty seats and less than 65000 there.
                        Maybe with us playing at home fans who follow both clubs opted to stay in Wigan and go to the DW.
                        It certainly didn’t make any difference to our official attendance. With less than 2000 away fans the gate was up from the Bury match who brought around 1200. Yes we had slightly less home fans there today but this is probably down to the pay on the day price which was incidentally more expensive than many Wembley tickets today. I

                        Nothing to do with the national rail system being on lockdown all weekend is it?

                        How many coaches do you think there were available in Wigan. To take the mickey out of 60 odd thousand is a bit rich when you had a conference attendance. Turning Blue :silly: :silly: :silly: Ask yourself where the other thousands of fans were today :P ;) Portsmouth brought 3,000 so that leaves 6,000 home fans and you can subtract the guaranteed attendance figures from season ticket holders so how many were really there? 4000? MASSIVE support.[/quote]

                        On your way back from Wembley and all you can think of is Wigan Athletic.

                          He’s off bags are packed, He’s not been played and with 1 year left can we honestly run the risk he makes a deal in Jan to go on a free in the summer /. Big clubs could afford to but not us.
                          And lets face it, he’s not gonna get much game time here. Me ? , cash in but make sure you got at least a loan on the radar till the Jan window opens

                          I didn’t realize he only had 12 months left on his contract.. If true then he’s definitely off… Sure cookie will have someone else lined up?[/quote]

                          And Jacobs is the same 1 year left. Another rumour, Powell is set to leave I just hope this ain’t true. I can fully understand we need to slash the wage bill but to not to the point were your best 2 possibly 3 players leave days before the window closes. If it does materialise then you can kiss promotion goodbye.
                          We’ll be slowly turning into a club full of freebie and loanee players with no on field assets left,

                            Nobody laugh! I fear it could happen to us if the whelans pull out.

                            Surely not! He’s been bleeding us dry for years according to some.

                              For me the main decision is whether to start with Colclough against Portsmouth. I didn’t go to MK so I’ve only seen Massey twice and he hasn’t really looked up to it. Other than that the same team.

                                3 or 4 seasons while still finishing high up in the top league aren’t lean years. The true lean years for the rugby club were the 70s and early 80s. What were their crowds then. And what were they in the mid to late 80s onwards when silverware abounded? Now what was you saying about glory hunting?
