How times in Wigan and indeed the level of supporter have changed!

For one, I'm a supporter that doesn't think everything is rosy in the garden and have made comments previously to this (if you could be bothered to read). However at the same time I don't think that the club has been completely mis-managed as a club since the late 2000's either. We've been pretty successful during that time, we missed out on a further three title wins by the skin of our teeth (but for a moment of madness from Ben Flower, a dubious Leeds knock on and a missed Hardaker penalty).

Our Academy remains the pride of the sport, winning 10 out of the last 12 Grand Finals.

I do find it funny that you commented you stopped coming to games in 2019, why leave it so late to turn your back on the club if you have had issues since Emperor Maurice left us in the lurch.

I'm a firm believer that a supporter that offers criticism where warranted along with occasional praise is fair game (I'd place myself in that category). For those that constantly just criticise over and over and over again on social media for others to read is toxic, especially to our younger readers or new posters on this forum. I've never seen you post a positive post about anything on here....EVER!

But you don't attend games any more and offer nothing but toxic criticism so anything you have to say is pretty meaningless, even if now and again you offer up some valid points that I and no doubt many others on here occasionally agree on.

Mate you don’t even go to games. You don’t have Sky. I’m sat here wondering how you actually watch any RL?

I’m far from thinking there’s nothing wrong and if you truly believe that then you’re beyond help or just a plain Billy bullsh**ter. I lean towards the latter.

I know Jukesays has put it to you repeatedly and you repeatedly refuse to answer so I’ll have a go;

What would YOU do? Other than masturbate to a photo of the Fab 4 what are your grand ideas to make it better?

I genuinely don't know why people reply to him? He's obviously a troll. Every post has an inflammatory post that doesn't really link to the topic and is always against the grain of popular opinion.

We all have opinions that others don't agree with (lord knows I have them). Some of them might be completely irrational too, but most of the posters on here will offer substance as to why they think that & solutions for the problems they see.

Oh dear, looks like I have upset members of the Ian Lenagan Happy Clappers Club.

Better stay silent like the majority!

Have you ever considered that maybe the reason so many people take you to task is that most disagree with you? I'm not saying that's always necessarily a bad thing, but you're clearly not in the majority.

He may very well be in the majority, although as I have said numerous times on numerous subjects its usually the vocal minority that shoot their mouths off on twitter, Facebook etc.

However

Its quite obvious they haven't got any answers/suggestions
Just sit back and claim your being picked on when someone does nothing more than do what they are, expressing an opinion.
They dont want debate, they dont want facts or evidence.

And in the end despite being asked numerous times, numerous simple questions

Nothing
No reply

So end of

And as for others saying why bother replying to them, I wrestle with that over and over again, and my only explanation is I'm not going to sit back and watch people throw out falsehoods etc without challenging it.
Otherwise others, possibly the younger ones, start to believe it without knowing the full balanced picture (because they weren't there).
